    Meter box wire connector

    I've never used that one, so I can't comment on its quality. It looks like you have to loosen screw terminals to unplug it. These are pretty common in car washes: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Phoenix-Contact/1754708?qs=QWULklcAmSStdmrBuVnaPw%3D%3D There's a lever-lock style too.

    Suzo Coin Hopper Rebuild

    Did you get the OEM one from Suzo-Happ or the $591 one from Unitec? If it was the $168 model, is it even worth repairing?

    Advice on 5 Bay Purchase

    Those aren't just cracks. The blocks are misaligned to the point they're casting shadows. At the very least, the equipment room walls need to be torn down and the slab repaired.

    Should I lease a new IBA system?

    You don't want to know what he thinks.

    The last time I had a good laugh while at my self serve I was ____________________________________________________

    Watching video of a stupid probably 20-year-old trying to pry the changer out of the wall with a claw hammer, and he literally pulled his feet out from under himself trying and fell into homeless piss.

    Cat vs Arimitsu

    Expect to have to perform constant maintenance on oil leaks.

    Saving this '02 Taurus clear coat

    I suggest you look for a Facebook page or forum that specializes in personal vehicle detailing/polishing. This is a forum for professional owner/operators helping other professional owner/operators. Your paint is f**ked. You can't fix it aside from taking it down to metal.

    Advice on 5 Bay Purchase

    Of course they do. They're looking at making at least $100,000 off you. There are some honest ones, but most just want to sell equipment. If the current owner really did fill the pump crankcases to the top with oil before he shut it down, he's one of the smarter ones out there. He has kept...

    Multiplexer or relays?

    I need to remember to use those on my next project. It sure would make things easy to sit down and bridge them all together. The last couple times I rewired a wash I had to cut and strip about a hundred short pieces of wire to jumper them.

    Bay power cycling

    Might be a solenoid coil dead shorted. Disconnect them one at a time and test.

    Should I lease a new IBA system?

    I advise you against this project because it's more likely to ruin your credit than make you any money, but there are some equipment manufacturers that will lease their equipment. It's probably going to cost you a lot more than you expect in case it needs plumbing or electrical, so budget...

    Advice on 5 Bay Purchase

    The first thing I'd look into is whether you can re-open that fifth bay. Since it's been closed for so long, they may not allow you to open it at all, or may require you to cover it, in which case you'd lose that specialized income. Addressing the cinder clock walls that are showing severe...

    Multiplexer or relays?

    I forgot about that one, IMO it's a better unit than the IDX. I don't think I've ever replaced a bad one.

    Multiplexer or relays?

    That's a good relay, a bit overkill for just isolating voltage and not at all compact. I like the DIN style because I can wire them sitting at a desk and just snap the whole array onto the rail. I used to use this one along with the base, but they've gotten too expensive so I've been...

    Bill Acceptor

    All AE2602 Uxx for US bills are the same except for the bill magazine size and the wire harness they shipped with.

    Multiplexer or relays?

    I have not tried these, someone on here said he did and he's had some failures, perhaps he put load through them but I would only use them to trigger another relay to take the load...

    What is this receptacle?

    Check eBay, there's tons of NOS of this stuff people are selling.

    Multiplexer or relays?

    They were having supply issues after COVID, and a lot of their products were very delayed. It could be a mistake on Sonny's end, but every IDX item except the AT411E vacuum timer shows out of stock on Kleen-Rite's site.

    Multiplexer or relays?

    Kleen-Rite says 25 amp, but they get stuff like that wrong all the time. Sonny's shows all IDX products as discontinued.

    Mud

    How do you deal with all the mud in the pits? I don't get a lot of mud, but I try to pick up everything I can off the floor.
