IBA entry system

[JustClean]

Hi all,
a friend of mine who lives in Australia is interested in importing & selling IBA entry systems down under. Some of his requirements are: reliable, easy to repair, simple & sturdy machine, no hoppers (maybe MEI cashflow coin acceptor) & his retail price should be not more than $10,000. Do you have any suggestions? He will also be at the show in Vegas. Thanks a lot.

He should be able to do that with American Changer, Hamilton, and Unitec. Of the three American Changer is the cheapest, with Hamilton and Unitec going up the price ladder. For down right ruggeddness I like Hamilton, and their parts prices are a little easier to take.

Not to mention that Heidi at Hamilton is a genius and can usually fix things over the phone.

There's just something about a girl named Heidi up in the woods in Michigan.....

I second that. Before I discovered that Randy is a Hamilton GOD, Heidi was incredible!

PDQ, more than $10k but ultra reliable and great engineering.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately, they all seem to have hoppers in them. I don't know why manufacturers do this as filling them up adds another big chunk of money that you only get back when you close your car wash for good.

You can order a unitec with a "no cash option". You can order it with no hopper or bill acceptor, and a credit card reader.

Am I missing something here?

Hmm..I don't know maybe it's not as common as I thought...
I've got 3 different machines that replenish themselves with this: http://www.meigroup.com/australia_nz/vending/vending_products/coin_mechs/mei_cashflow_690/
So instead of leaving $2,000 in hoppers sitting on your yard until your carwash dies you only need to put a few hundred dollars in and when customers pay with coins it fills itself up again. In 5 years I never had to fill it up.
Would be nice to get a machine that incorporates this.

So why even have a car wash? Just get ten or so of these things that just keep filling themselves up and before long you'll have more money than you know what to do with!
