An extremely long list of more truthful considerations Maybe it is just me ... but I still think that the facts gathered during this study still hold true: https://www.msu.edu/~alocilja/undergrad/BE230/dollar_vs_coin.pdf When I read about the dollar coin being 88.5% copper & copper's anti...

Hoser06, You make some good observations. When you state in Canada the 60% are already done on gas pumps & are weatherproof ... I am wondering where their weather-waterproofness falls on the IP65 -IP69 rating standard. Correct me if I am wrong ... but it seems like most gas pumps are somewhat...

Area123, I know this is not the answer you are specifically looking for ... but one of the best things we did at our 6 bay self service is to get rid of our Aro Pumps & replaced them with Flojets. Many fewer issues & much more straightforward troubleshooting in the rare occasion that...

Randy & others, If an operator has some really good waterproof housings for their fluorescents ... I would not rule out rolling up their sleeves & soldering leads where necessary & fastening on some really bright LED strip lights & wire tying with its adhesive backing & then snapping the...

Edie011 & others, http://www.onlineconversion.com/waterweight.htm Just a heads up based on the above calculator: 55 gallons of water weighs about 458 pounds. Make sure your specific attic structure can carry that kind of weight without potentially doing some long term damage to any part of...

Tom, Thanks for taking the time to clear that up. I was so goofy that I thought you had misspelled Micrologix which would be the correct spelling for the Rockwell Int'l Allen Bradley Micrologix PLC Family of Products that I was referring to. I would think that an up to date industrial...

Tom, Thanks for sharing Gary's very innovative TouchScreen Setup Video. We happened to be lucky enough to have had two regional Rockwell Int'l Micrologic Automation Fairs at our Civic Center here in Bismarck. I attended both along with some of their free classes. While locally there is not...

cfcw, Thanks for the worthwhile link. We did not get into three phase until 1987 so our 3 phase motors were relatively new then but not so new anymore. Since we have close to 15 three phase motors ... that kind of info could prove to be helpful. From the video ... I learned that with my very...

Whale, Uncle Sam & others, One approach may be for someone to make an embedded logic interface board that would translate the ins & outs of the Cryptopay to the corresponding in & out of the MDB protocol of the Shurvend??? Of course ... it is a whole lot easy to say that than to actually do...

Bhtoplawn, Look at the specifications of whatever heating device or system you have or may invest in. From there you can estimate the number of hours your heating device could potentially be on. From there ... if you chose Electric make sure that you match the BTUs of the alternative Natural...

Mr. Clean, I notice that on ours it says Model # RBC1003 so I wonder if ours is their third generation model ... hopefully the quality that you describe is still there. We get a large number of fives & tens in our bill acceptors ... which also helps the bill counter last longer we believe...

Sparkey & MichaelGlenn, I will say this that we ran multiple poly tubing laying along side of each other out longer distances through & in the bays. We have found that we occasionally find lengths where the tubing has vibrated against each other enough over a period of time ... the vibration...

2Biz, & Slash, Just thinking outloud ... I have no regrets installing Gerand ball valves in strategic spots within our piping. These valves have 2 ports on them that allow measurement of actual flows. If I remember right ... the Gerand ball valves were not that much more expensive than...

MDrost1, When it comes to installing any rubber o'rings ... we usually try to use a high quality silicone lubricant ... in the belief that it could make the rubber o'rings last longer. I like the way Cat appear to somewhat almost hermetically seal the o'rings so they are protected until they...

Eric, Thanks for the link to another source for the recycled product. We have used those types of plastic boards including the letters for our large CAR WASH sign on our large Metal Mansart over 15 years now. One advantage to that product is that the color goes clear through so there really...

Eric, Here in North Dakota ... winter always has its unique set of challenges ... some years tougher than others. You bring up something that I have not seen mentioned too often on this specific forum about potential water main breaks. There was another benefit that we received when we closed...

Our Sam's Club Counter serves our purpose well for the bay bills. Hope it lasts. Earl, We checked into the Cummins JetSort Bill Counter with the regional bank service company who are headquartered here in Bis-Man. We were very much interested also because we were very familiar with its...

Sometimes I think when it comes to CC & NFC, it also comes down to how much are we willing to incur extra expenses just for those customers who insist on CC & NFC. If it proves that the customers are more willing to allow a slight up-charge &/or a higher minimum because of the CC & NFC...

wash4me, Just a thought ... there could be a trade off by shutting the floor heat off by way of the concrete not staying quite as nice because of freeze thaw. Also if sudden very warm (from the south) Chinook Winds come through just before a possible extra busy weekend where you need all your...

Dcalhoun, An alternative for us has proven to be to have a $5 bill dispensing ATM for almost 4 years now. Time will tell ... as to if we can hold on to or even increase our net income while our competition has gone down the CC - NFC path. I do know that I can honestly say that by making the...
