Owner

Eddie Received a BET degree in electronics from Mississippi State University in 1973. After graduation he started his career with Westinghouse Electric as an engineer in charge of an electronics laboratory servicing the southeastern USA.

Specializing in a narrow field of repair has allowed Thyritronics to provide unsurpassed quality and timely repairs since 1981.
