    What coin acceptor to use?

    I've had my micro coins for 10 years and no problems except for that the enitial plastic coin ramp for the mech. I haven't seen that one piece for sale, so I have to purchase the entire mech assembly unit for $30. I've had to purchase at least 8-10 of these for that one piece. Ironically I have...

    I installed the 3 motor setup last week, it works great so far, and I had an hour meter installed. I will swap out all motors once I find roughly that time I will start loosing brushes.

    Air shammee

    I'm considering the air shammee, and possibly the air logic . Both appear to have a similar boom system. Has anyone had a problem with these booms rotating on a bolt rather than a bearing. Also, it looks like I have a few options with the air shammee for motors. 110,220, and the single blower...

    Newly refurbed self serve neighbor opening at $1 for 5 minutes

    I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't the Australian guy that's notorious for $1 for 5 min washes. I've seen a few of his in the SoCal area . He rehabbed the one on paramount opposite another wash on other side of 91 freeway. Really hurting pricing in industry, but he's banking on volume, packed...

    Air compressor...single or two stage?

    Yes, that's the one. I really don't need that much air, 30g would be fine but I havnt found a Quincy in that size. Quincy seems to have good reviews and a pretty good warranty. I'm still open to ideas, but the price isn't bad with free ship and no tax. I know I'm not purchasing the lowes or HD...

    New LED lights in the parking lot

    Do you still like your LEDs , I was looking at the ones you purchased. I'm thinking about these, LED Floodlight (Large) - 87°, 13,200 Lumens, 5000K, also from Cree on econolight. I was thinking the light would be spread out more with the 87 rather than 40. Thoughts, they were just on sale two...

    Float for Rinse Tank

    I also use the Hudson valve, did have a big problem with it running constant one time for two days, not good! But overall good, probably my fault not changing it out after a few years.

    Thanks, yeah I read all your post. Did you also replace va/drying/parking lot lights with these induction lights, and if so did it give as much converage and brightness. Are you in the Socal,Ca area as I am? Thanks Matt

    You have a good point about the possible damage claims. But for now, I'm going to install all new lights and put up a few of these cameras and signs to detour crime. I have a budget, and this will have to do for now. Just don't want to buy complete junk off the internet and would like to see...

    Dummy camera domes???

    I've been burglarized twice and vandalized once in the last week. I'm going to change my lighting, but am looking at possibly adding those fake camera domes. Has anyone done this, and if so did it help, or is there any liability. I thought I read something a few years ago about an owner...
