Eric, to set up your timer to do count up go into the setup menu then past coin and time and you get CRD1 set it to your preauthorization price for CC. then on CRD2 set it to NONE and then COIN set it to your amount to start which is the same or less than CRD1.

I have been on the new Blue pay rate structure for a while and can finally compare the rates to going direct with Tsys. I have Tsys on another system and it typically runs 5.1% to process cards. With the 2 locations I have on the new blue pay system the rates are 10.1 and 9.5 for the 2...

As a SS operator if I keep my old CCreaders I have a 1 in 300,000 chance of taking a stolen card at some point. Lets say I am unlucky and I actually take one in the next 5 years. I will have to stand the loss of $5 or $10 one time. I could prevent this by upgrading all of my readers ( 20 units )...

mjwalsh.... you disagree with me then you state the exact same thing as me? I am a SS operator and have no plans to buy different readers. Mag stripe readers will be around for a long time according to industry speakers at the show. As stated at the show you have a better chance of being hit by...

TSP (trisodium phosphate) also works good on grease and you can buy it in paint departments of any hardware store.

The show seemed well attended. ICA is very strict about not letting anyone take videos or pictures on the trade show floor. There was a lot to see this year compared to recent years. Everyone I talked to thought it seemed bigger than last years show. A lot of stuff on the credit cards by many...

I have 3 locations with htp type water heaters. Each has 2 autos and 3 or 4 SS bays and I never run out of hot water. March was very busy and all 3 locations had gas bills under $80.

I have only missed a couple of shows in 20 years. I try to make it my regional and the ICA shows. I get as much out of just talking to other operators outside of the show or waiting for sessions as I do in the show. You meet a lot of great people. When you can put a name with a face at the show...

On my ryko OHDs there are timers that can be adjusted to prime various functions during the wash cycle. I seem to get good coverage on all functions.

What specifically do you not like about the soft gloss maxx rear arms. Have you ever thought about using neoglide in a different length on the soft gloss.

Roger Pencik usually gives a seminar during the ICA trade show on values. It would be worth it to contact him ar attend one of his sessions at the upcoming ICA show this month.

Myself and the Warden should be there.

I personally like the dollar coin and would love to see it adopted and the dollar bill sent away. The only thing I can think of that would make bills last longer would be because of the increased use of credit cards. People are wearing out the plastic before bills.

This is an update on new facts about the dollar coin taken from the Wall Street Journal April 4,5 weekend edition. The US treasury is currently sitting on 1.36 billion new dollar coins and have made 1.5 billion since 2000. Only 240 million were put into service last year. Americans have soundly...

Low fume Muratic acid does not fume heavily. I have bought it at Home depot and it works great without the fumes. Modern chemistry is great. Any acid will react with galvanized metals and should always be avoided.

i would get some muratic acid from a paint shop or home depot. Get the low fume version and mix it 3 parts water to one part MA. I have found this the cheapest way to clean soap scum off walls and stainless.

The local city has me called the police whenever I have troubles with panhandlers. I call the police and they come over and give them a no trespass order. The person is advised that if he ever sets foot on the property again they will be arrested for tresspass on the spot. It is your right as a...

I recall that there is one wire that is the ground for the card reader that etowah came out and said should not be hooked to anything. The other thing I would check is the power plug that is the 3 wire plug in the upper corner. I have had these go bad. If it does not make good contact the timer...

I have been running with the new program for a week now. It seems that it is processing cards better than before. I think that is because the new setup uses a toll free number that is direct with no hand offs of the line between carriers. For anyone doing this upgrade you will need to program...

My chips finally showed up. I tried one location and for some reason it changed my timers from a count up to a count down setup. It took Etowah valley a while to figure out what programming needed to be changed on the timer but I think it is working now. The chips say Tsys on them and the...
