$1 Coin Acceptance On JC Super Vacs

[Buzzie8]

I have Jim Coleman Super vacs with a Swipe N Clean (that doesn't work) I want to upgrade my coin acceptors to accept $1 coins that my auto cashier gives out in change. I am pretty sure they have Sensatron acceptors right now. In the Kleen Rite catalogue it says that the Sensatron can take any denomination. Two questions 1. Can they be programed to take both quarters and dollars. 2. The slot in my door is not large enough to take $1 coins, I am assuming that if I can program the Sensatron to accept both all I need to do is make the coin slot larger in my door and I should be good to go! This is another one of those things I didn't think about (and obviously JCC didn't think about) when I built my wash. If you give $1 coin for change your customer should be able to spend it somewhere else at your wash. I actually had one guy storm off and say that he would never use my wash again because of it. While this guy was an jerk his argument was valid.

Senatron will only do 1 coin. If you want to do more than that you will need a multitron coin acceptor

I use all IDX MA-8 acceptors, have had one out of 36 fail in the last seven years. Multitrons are finicky and difficult to get repaired.

will these work with both $1 coin and quarters?

I'm assuming that MEP meant MA-800, and yes they will do dollars, quarters, and up to four more coins/tokens. I use both IDX and Microcoin. Both are good, but I give the nod slightly to the IDX.

Can't you change the Auto Cashier back to dispensing Quarters for change? It will be pretty expensive to change all your coin acceptors.

I think it would be more expensive to **** off the customers that are use to getting the dollar coins as change. I am dumbfounded that most washes give quarters as change at the auto. I wonder what those operators would think if Mcdonalds gave them $12 worth of quarters at their drive-thru?

With these guys advice I have been converting my vacs to the IDX multi coin, and -I am so grateful for their advice on the mercury relays--Beyond awesome.
The vac now take the old token the new token and quarters and could take the dollar coin also. Jim at etowah has a super summer price on them. Really good money spent when you dispense a different coin.
