Sarhadi Electric & Machinery Store

People usually find us on G.B. Road because of all the noise outside, but once you step into Sarhadi Electric & Machinery Store, it's just a lot of shelves and parts. We have been sitting at number 73 for quite some time now. Most mornings start with moving a few heavy motors around to make space. It is a bit cramped in here, to be honest. You see stacks of switches and wires everywhere you look. Usually, someone is asking about a specific pump or a part for a machine they’ve had for twenty years. We spend a lot of time looking through old boxes to find that one specific bolt or capacitor someone needs. The fan overhead hums all day. It gets hot in the afternoons, so we keep the door open, even with all the dust from the street coming in. G.B. Road is always busy, so there is never really a quiet moment. We just go about our work, fixing what needs fixing and showing people how the different machinery pieces fit together. Sometimes the tea gets cold because a customer has a lot of questions about a motor winding. That is just how it goes here. We don't have fancy displays or anything like that. It is just a shop with a lot of heavy metal stuff and electrical components. If you walk past the big hardware shops, you will see our sign. It’s a bit faded now.
