Ok, last week I was in Tampa, FL and I went through a Superior Side-Trac 700... What's strange about this system is that its guts and brains are pretty much Ryko! You heard me right! The HP Pump (Now a "High Impact" Pump), Trifoam nozzle (A Ryko Retrofit tube pad thing found on old voyagers that...

True. Its just sad that so many companies have gone under, and great people have lost their jobs. I Was just thinking about Magic Wand because theres this Magic Wand neXus at a Texaco right off of I-75 that worked flawlessly, had medium volume and had barely any downtime, and it randomly closed...

I Tried with no luck, lol. That's why this is my last resort.

Ok, does anybody know what happened to power rain? it's like they fell off of the face of earth. :confused: same with Specialty Equipment (Futura), Magic Wand, Superior, AND A-OK... I Presume all of them went out of business, but what do owners do about parts??

LOL No problem! Yeah, that Hanna is in Pinellas (Tampa), and I honestly can not believe it still works! it's like going back in time! I See you live in Clearwater, do you own a car wash? I'd like to check it out lol! (I Live about an hour from clearwater) So there are more Hanna tunnels in...

I knew it was a Monarch I! but I Thought it was just a prototype....? I Wish there were some operating out there! why on earth would a touch free car wash have a mitter?!

Today I saw a picture of a Ryko Monarch that struck my mind... :confused: it's boom cable is a completely different design, and it doesn't have any L-Arms. It's gantry is also a LOT different. I know its a monarch because it says "YKO" MONA" on it, some letters have obviously peeled off. Any...

Is it still in service? I Would love to check it out! The person deleted the video, Sadly.

Thank you SOO Much!!!

Is there anyway I can get a couple of pictures? or if possible, a video of it in action? Thank you so much!! any idea what year it is?! i thought they stopped making them in the 80's!!!!!

AHH Now I remember! you told me that! :D That would be AMAZING To see a picture of it!!! How do you know about it?

Thank you very much for the info!! Someone I know said it was a Monarch I. Any idea what the difference between the Monarch I and II is? I vaguely recall that someone said it had two arms, but this could just be a rumor. This one used to be a High Pressure, but the pump burned out and was...

Seriously?! I Only ones I know of are in Minnesota. But I asked a ryko maintenance guy if he knew of any in Florida and he said to email Ryko or message them on Facebook (I Did, but never got a response :( ) Do you know if any are still working in Florida? PLEASE! I Have been looking for one...

Most Carwashes in Bradenton, FL are ran by cheapskates interested in making money, not customer satisfaction, and they want to run their equipment until they completely die. Hell, there was a Voyager APC that was in service for 25+ years at an extremely high volume location! (Right off of I-75)...

Does anybody know of a working Ryko R7B/R7B Ultraclean? I have been looking for a while without any luck :confused: Those "Pinwheel" brushes are just so fascinating, but clean almost nothing. It makes make me want to say "WTF were you thinking, Ryko?" Thanks in advanced! ;)
