    Healthy Dialogue about BILL-COIN ATMs

    One of the reasons why some countries that remember too much power in the hands of too few are resisting 100% cashless such as Germany & others. I have vivid memories of the trey gowdy vs lois lerner fiery exchange that showed serious IRS actual abuses!

    Seal coating the lot

    I can't help but think that if we had blacktop asphalt ... there would be fewer vac customers on a hot summer day since our concrete is cooler. We have some concrete that goes back to 1959 that was redone in house by my in house manpower & our skid steer. I used AutoCAD to calculate the volume...

    Cameras and security systems

    We have gone away from Blue Iris Software which had & still has some great IP (regardless of megapixels) features ... but seemed to have more drawbacks than LTS's approach. Time will tell ... I do notice that LTS has some very high end options much more than just the Hikvision. They do not...

    Healthy Dialogue about BILL-COIN ATMs

    I actually had a customer about two years who thought I was entertaining the idea of cashless. Both him & his wife unloaded on me saying that if I did I would no longer have their business. That is when I got an increased sense of how strong feelings can run against 100 % or near 100%...

    What function should I add to my bays?

    Eric, Who sells that chemical that I assume is then mixed with water? I wonder how good it works? Maybe have that mix with the undercarriage ... maybe the self service undercarriage can hit the sides of the vehicle?

    Healthy Dialogue about BILL-COIN ATMs

    I felt the same way as you guys do & then a laundromat NYC operator told about how putting in an ATM was one of the better things he did. He was credible & many other laundromat owners including myself have followed. Time is showing to have been a good decision. Many of the same built in the...

    Healthy Dialogue about BILL-COIN ATMs

    JGinther & others, My main point is that some of us have gone the ATM path of accepting CC-Debit Cards & if so ... it would be helpful if we make it known that many of us would be in favor of ATMs in our areas that would also give out high denomination coins as an option. Based on experience...

    Healthy Dialogue about BILL-COIN ATMs

    When people come to our facility ... the not carrying cash crowd ... tend to use our $5s dispensing ATM. They tend to get the amount of cash they will use & then a percentage get waterproof coins (2 Standard ChangeMakers). If the ATM gave out both $5s & as an option dollar coins or an even...

    What function should I add to my bays?

    We are considering going with a version of self service undercarriage ... if we don't pay too much to set it up. Anybody here care to share what the expected pay back time on that? I am thinking up in the Dakotas, Montana, & Minnesota with the salted sand & beet heat etc it possibly could be...

    Shock sensors?

    I have & still do have a few similar mercury tilt switches to these shown below. Not sure where to buy them anymore since Radio Shack tends to be no more. Keep in mind most alarm setups can be made to trigger even with momentary continuity.

    Spot free solenoid problem

    If the specification on the valve states 0-3000 PSI does that mean that they will seal closed at zero back pressure??? I am looking at some with a 3 mm orifice 3600 psi that state the starting pressure as zero. Another one of the same series states 10 mm orifice but ouch 87-3600 psi on its...

    Spot free solenoid problem

    Just a thought. When we are checking into high pressure solenoid valves ... we should pay attention to the orifice size on the specification. It seems for some applications that could be a factor when it comes to possible water volume???

    Healthy Dialogue about BILL-COIN ATMs

    Our over 8 years of unbelievable success with our ATM has motivated me to at least try to lobby for higher denomination coins that could eventually solve a lot of problems. Not the least of ... non customers stealing coins from our ChangeMakers for their apartment house washing machines. Call...

    Rebuild SS Manifolds

    I have some screen material that won't rust. I might play with that ... shoving it in the clear poly tube so each individual line is protected just before the Kip solenoid. If any of the 12 gets too plugged ... it seems like a dental tool or a tiny tweezer can yank it out! danger thinking out...

    Cryptopay statement question?

    Based on experience I would hope & think you would be on solid ground engaging the police department! Maybe a city attorney issue??? I remember when I had vulnerable to slugs coin mechs before the better mechs that are available now. Long story short ... some joker washed a huge RV & filled...

    KR- Excessive Shipping Charges

    Just to look at our KR evaluations from another angle & on a more current thread: I just looked at the 2018 CWSS catalog available online that is divided into 16 pdfs. I do like the way I can open the pdfs up locally & do a "find" as long as I use Adobe Acrobat. I have software that can make...

    I just looked at the 2018 CWSS catalog available online that is divided into 16 pdfs. I do like the way I can open them up locally & do a "find" as long as I use Adobe Acrobat. I have software that can make all 16 pdfs into one pdf. I am pretty sure that would help the ability to do an...

    Rebuild SS Manifolds

    Anybody besides us who has found tiny debri-something on the seat of the soap solenoid that feeds into the high pressure self service pumps? I am suspicious that it may be more to it than just the soap causing it. We changed from powder to liquid & we still occassionally get debri that...
