    Hydraulic hose crimper recommendations

    At one time we could get a local to crimp a hose ... not anymore it appears as in the last 10 years. I even argue with them that a failure hazard is not the same as a hydraulic hose on a piece of construction etc equipment & even volunteer to sign something to indemnify them because of the...

    Hydraulic hose crimper recommendations

    Based on our experience with extreme phobia (liability concern) statements & refusals from local automotive supply outfits (NAPA etc) & implement dealers ... I wonder if there is really that much danger of using a crimper on various brands vs just using the same crimper for all 3/8" or 1/4"...

    Mama always said...

    We have our Dixmor Led7's on our four coin op vacuums setup so when people get the dollar coins from my two changers in my laundromat they can get an extra minute by using the golden dollar coins in any of the vacuums. Susan B quarter look alikes are now I notice are almost totally out of...

    Rotary Dial, pump on and off.

    I am not seeing an on/off delay at Zoro ... I wonder how much more expensive an on/off delay would be from whoever?

    Installing a pad heat system and need a glycol feed tank to isolate feed

    Peteheat, Let us know what happens when you contact Huron Valley Sales. That is where I got my 80+ efficient modulating gas valve Raypak designed glycol pad heating system from way back in 1980. That of course is mainly snow melt deicing. We also have actual higher temperature floor heat in...

    Installing a pad heat system and need a glycol feed tank to isolate feed

    Just wondering ... how old is your Raypak & does it have a modulating valve with at least 80% efficiency? I too was looking for that style of tank last fall ... it is not just for fill but also for also used for expansion. It seems like I saw one online but it was very expensive. There are...

    Rotary Dial, pump on and off.

    Not what was asked ... but the "no momentary 'motor on' during customer selection process" was one of the perks of the GinSan menu button format that we saw for on our coin boxes.

    Anyone also own a self storage business?

    Just a "heads up" my large facility interior design neighbor (the balance of the total city block) had to eventually remove their mobile storage units because supposedly the city got a bunch of complaints from a few vocal citizens about the so-called eyesore factor. Not sure if that even comes...

    Cryptopay forcing switch

    Oh no ... tell me it ain't so ... some countries have an exit fee for visitors ... before you can board an airplane back to the USA. This not so worldly naive traveler back in 1998 was surprised with a $20 exit fee (ouch) before I could return to the USA from the Guatemala City Airport back in...

    Photo Eyes for Self Serve wash doors

    Jason, I have closed ovd doors at our car wash to avoid heat loss & even potential freeze up with my Airlift ZAP operators ... with extreme caution. As in carefully watching at least 3 camera views simultaneously just in case a driver shows up towards a door at a much faster than normal...

    Options for air dryer nozzle

    It appears that Doyle's new version of their nozzle is stainless steel based on this: http://www.doylevacuum.com/doyle_vacuum_systems_007.htm If Doyle actually did discontinue their flat slotted nozzle ... I wonder who else has that style since I am pretty sure there were operators who...

    Threats on the horizon: any opinions?

    For the sake of better understanding for some of us more self service oriented: "What are the differences between an IBA & an Express?"

    Dynamic vs Statis IP

    The perfect sequence of driver loading & other loading sequencing ... reminds me of the nightmare "auteexec.bat & config.sys technicalities of the DOS & earliest versions of Windows days ... back in 1982 ... when I invested in my first IBM PC from the local "Computerland Franchise". I am not...

    Hours replace vac shammee motors

    Wet Spot, Do the Air Shammees use Domel motors??? So far our Domel Motors from Windtrax have been OK with brush changes. I agree that it is better to monitor the brush hours ... we don't ... but that does not mean that we should not. Not sure on the # of hours ... I would think that it would...

    Options for air dryer nozzle

    Do the rest of you use duct tape or another way to keep the two handed gripped nozzle from threading out of the 2 inch hose occasionally? We got our 2 handed grip similar to the pic ... from Carolina Pride.

    The verdict is in! (trash problem)

    I don't think it would work with our laundromat-car n dog wash situation either. Also ... just thinking outloud ... nearby businesses with thrash bins & unlocked dumpsters might not appreciate us doing that possibly. I can just see some PD officers ignoring any calls we might have to make...

    Crane/Mars payment systems changes are coming

    Randy, Hopefully, the MEI AE2600 series will still be repairable. We have been having great luck with the Etowah Valley's Coinco-Paper Token featured Vantages the past few years ... so my hopes are for them to also be repairable. It looks like the TALOS have improvements with connectivity ...

    Dynamic vs Statis IP

    I tend to agree with Roz. We have a 5 pack with ours for free but I have been told by the internet provider that there policy for new hookups requesting ip addresses are ... if I remember right more expensive than Roz's option. Dell-Soniwall 24/7 support & me sometimes try to tweak the...

    Threats on the horizon: any opinions?

    I agree with Greg about the millennials tending to obsessed with their phones & also allowing themselves to be lulled into the mushroom cloud of apps within the phones! Forgive me for the slight paraphrasing? Like some of the lightning fast gunslingers in USA history, when the "west" was still...
