History
Flathead Doctor is a DBA of Philbin
Manufacturing Company, Inc. We decided on the name
Flathead Doctor for our new venture into business of changing out
the points in the Ford flathead distributors and replacing them
with electronics. Since this is a specialized segment of business, we felt a distinctive name
was called for; hence the name Flathead Doctor.
Anthony (Tony) Neisz is the grandson of
Anthony Neisz who sold the business to Tony's father George in the
early 1950's. By then Philbin Manufacturing was deep into
professional automotive electrical maintenance. In the mid
1950's, Philbin Manufacturing bought a company called Superior
Products and added rebuilding vehicle distributors to its' sales and
service. Philbin Rebuilt Products was formed and soon became
an industry leader in distributor sales and
service.
George sold Philbin Manufacturing to
his son Tony in 1972. Now Tony and his son Joe are
remanufacturing, repairing and/or selling every kind of battery
charger power source, test equipment and vehicle distributors the
automotive industry offers.
