    Ginsan Data Mate - is anyone using this?

    I put one in at a new wash I built back in 99. It worked as advertised and it was pretty cool at the time to access the unit remotely and check all the counters. I quit using it after a few years(don't remember why). I have been meaning to list it for sell on ebay and or the classified ads on...

    Is anyone there at Dilling & Harris?

    This post explains a lot. I ordered a part for my vendmaster and after a several month wait I received it. A week later I received 2 coinco changer assemblies that had been repaired by dh for someone else but they shipped them to me and charged my credit card for the repair. I called and...

    The latest Global Warming info

    I would like to state for the record that I am not anti-global warming, I am pro-global warming. My gas bill for my underfloor has been a killer the last few years. The one thing that really woke me up and made me switch from being anti-gw to being pro-gw was when someone from the pro side...

    Money transfer during purchase of IBA

    I have purchased 12 new automatics in the last 16 years and I have never paid more than 25% down with my order and then the balance on delivery and installation after installation is complete. There is no way I would pay 100% before delivery. I would have to have a lot of confidence in my dist...

    The latest Global Warming info

    I enjoyed the article Bill, thanks for posting a copy of it. There was a very interesting article in the Wall Street Journal a week or two ago that cast some serious doubt about whether global warming is actually occuring and even if it is whether human activity has had an impact on it. I will...

    Water Damage to Mars bill validators in IVS Vacs

    I purchased 9 new IVS Combo Vacs about 4 years ago. We have had 2 or 3 problems with the validators. I don't know if water was the cause or not. I believe the failure rate I have experienced is about as good as it gets. Of course I am comparing it to trying to keep 15 HVX validators running...

    Vending Products That Work

    Who sells Dash Wipes? I was all fired up to start selling them but kleen-rite was out and did not know if they would be able to get any more. I looked on North American oils website and couldn't find any there. If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Doug P.

    adding a third iba

    Wardaddy, I have a Wesumat Softwash that has about 40 000 washes on it and the side brushes are in good shape but the top brush is wearing in the middle. Have you replaced any of the foam strips on your top brush or are they still in good shape? Interesting quote from Buffett, I respect his...

    Dog Wash vs. Bay Upgrades

    I have been considering pet washes for a couple of years. I have also done a lot of the bay upgrades you mentioned at my washes. I have gotten a decent boost in business from wall coverings and meterboxes with bill acceptors, along with dryers and rainx or trifoam. In my area credit card...

    Wyndstar Doors and Sealing in the Heat

    I installed a couple of exterior mount Wyndstar doors last summer for an automatic and they have been great so far this winter, I have several of the air operated doors and I am not a fan of them. As you pointed out my doors are sealed very well on the sides and bottom but I have a pretty good...

    Need New Equipment Recommendations

    I am sure you can have a very successful location with a combination rollover, but I want to play devils advocate and give you another perspective. When many people see the brushes on your machine they will not use it if they want a touchless wash. You can have very good signage but the visual...
