    Coleman Hanna super vac 3 lock

    Some of those locks you can just blast through with a drill and it'll just unlock, the high security lock has to be done differently.

    Foam Brush Help

    Replace those foam generators. They may be plugged with crud, or the foam material could have worked its way out and has stopped up the fitting.

    Goldline ACW’s?

    TVs are still very repairable, but no one wants to because you might have paid $2,000 for your TV ten years ago but you can get a bigger better new one for $700. CRT TVs are still in small demand, but it's a tiny market and there are stockpiles of new-in-box TVs and monitors in warehouses that...

    Help Valuation on a 3 bay.

    I've been dealing with a couple brothers wanting the same, they bought the wash for $600k, ran it into the ground, then the freeze broke a bunch of stuff, now it's been shut down almost three years and they want $650k for it. "Yeah, it used to make really good money," well no one's going to pay...

    Hamilton hopper issue

    One side of my changer kept shutting down with a 5, 3 flash (Unexpected hopper payout). Cleared it, tested, worked fine, next day same thing. I dropped the hopper down a couple times and it didn't shut down, so probably not the switch. After three days of this I pulled the hopper, and the arm...

    Goldline loses memory

    https://www.newegg.com/apc-br1000ms-4-x-nema-5-15r-6-x-nema-5-15r/p/42-301-698 It won't run it very long, but my problem was different. The power would blink out for half a second, the bill acceptors would remain active but the controllers would not, so everyone after the power blink would...

    Monorail vacs

    The Cryptopay thing is simple, just configure it to pulse, one pulse per quarter, count down mode, and hook the two red/green wires to the coin switch input of the timer. You might as well use a swiper with a button even if you don't use it, just disable it in the settings if you don't. They...

    Silk Mitters

    It could also be hard water deposits. Whatever the stain/soil/buildup is, it need to be treated correctly to remove it without damaging the material.

    Goldline loses memory

    I did this for my changer. I would recommend a pure sine wave model.

    Cryptopay install small boxes

    Those are made by Laurel Metals. I suggest having custom signage/decals made that say "Press flashing green button to end charges." It's a lot less confusing to people. I've watched customers press the "STOP" label on the rotary switch.

    Any suggestions of a quality Internal Lit Sign Manufacturer besides TSS?

    Have you tried local sign shops? There are lots here now, and they're usually a lot faster and more affordable than TSS.

    D&S 5000 question.

    You're right, it's been quite a few years since I've been hands-on with one.

    D&S 5000 question.

    The range is set by the limit prox sensors, but what you're describing sounds more like a photo eye issue. I don't mean to insult you by asking this, but I've made several service calls because of this. Are any of the eight hoses in the top leaking? If the presoak runs out of the gantry...

    Help building pump stand

    The swivel elbows help, but if one leaks you still have to take off all the ones above or below it to replace it. The straight ones don't leave room to get a socket on over it.

    Help building pump stand

    The best advice I can give on the block style is to not use push-in tubing fittings. They WILL leak eventually, and you'll have to take them all off to change just one. I've had the best luck with the all-plastic John Guest poly tube fittings from Kleen-Rite, but all I use anymore are...

    Help building pump stand

    Definitely go with KIP solenoids. I don't like using the block style, mainly because it's so hard to get fittings in the outlet. It does take longer to put manifolds together for the solenoids, but the cost difference is negligible. For soap and wax supply you can reverse the flow direction...

    Water Wizard 2.0 Review

    You don't need to wrap the Kondor, just clean the panels. They come off easily.

    Recognize this RO brand/brine valve?

    The pins need to be flush on the left side looking at the face so they protrude on the right to catch the Geneva wheel. I think what's happening is that it's only switching tanks every other regeneration so it's running double on each tank and can't soften the water halfway through.

    Recognize this RO brand/brine valve?

    These pins are supposed to engage these slots. One of them isn't. You can probably push the one to the right so it does, but you'll need to either keep an eye on it or replace the gear and shaft assembly. Once you get that back in place, let it run for a few days and keep checking the...

    Water Wizard 2.0 Review

    I agree, the worst looking part of the cashier is that someone slapped on a new decal and didn't clean the old one off. The rusty lock housings can be replaced, the rest is just cleaning it. A hundred bucks will make it look new. The plastic panels on the machine come off and can be cleaned...
