"I've been using the Surplus Record catalog for over 50 years now, I've sold so many machines from it, thank you Scanlan family!"

"Surplus Record has always been one of the first places we check when a customer needs a hard to find electric motor. It helps us locate inventory from dealers we may not have found otherwise."
