    New "EMV" card readers vs exsisting readers?

    Thanks Randy, That article seems to point to an even greater urgency than many of us may be aware of. It is hard to proceed unless we are kept properly informed ... Thanks. It takes time & honest effort to find articles that are not tainted with too much of a bias ... so we appreciate some of...

    Vendor Credit Card System Update

    Uncle Sam, This just from my perspective ... so as usual I expect everyone to take it with a grain of salt. Because we also have a laundromat where to be consistent on each piece of equipment ... there could be a need to over hundred of these new EMV compliant card swipes or Apple Pay NFC...

    Inconvenience At Breakfast

    Preponderance of Evidence Two former US Mint Directors have testified I believe under oath about the obstacles making cash more expensive. The Citizens Against Government Waste has pointed out the most efficient ways to have cash available to people which is a proper function of government of...

    Inconvenience At Breakfast

    More wholesome food for thought My position & observations have always been basically what Paul, Jim, & JM, wrote. My problem is when the credit card providers are among the same entities making cash proportionately more expensive than what it had been traditionally before during a more...

    Kleen-rite Expo

    My main manager who was originally from Pennsylvania went to one of the KleenRite Expos & we picked up some very useful info that we used later such as Z boom improvements & other worthwhile increased understanding etc. Him & his wife also had a great time & good worthwhile fellowship. mike...

    LED vs. T5 HO lights

    Soapy, I have found to get the best resolution & the easiest process ... is to have a free PhotoBucket or Google Plus acct (many others also) & do a quick upload to their free storage that they make available to whoever signs up. They have a choice of the type of link or url ... specifically...

    MEI 2602 Rebuild

    GuitarRandy & others, That linked video seems helpful when the need arises. One thing that I would look for is anything that causes the belts to go out before other components ... possibly using a non rubber friendly cleaner or whatever? We have both MEI 2612s & car wash rated Coinco...

    inconsistent hopper payout

    rbrss705, Like Randy articulated ... the make & model is very relevant! On our two Standard Changemaker 600EFs ... if this happens we can track & read previous messages. If the last message shows "bill held" it points towards the acceptor not being able to reject the bill & rather than...

    My 2 Wash Select IIs Stolen in < 4 Minutes! (share pics of your bricked-in units?)

    Soapy's approach makes the most sense ... especially if starting from scratch. If not starting from scratch ... embedding actual bolts in a special 2 part epoxy after rotary hammering large enough holes in the existing concrete base makes more sense than wedge anchors in my humble opinion...

    Roof Panels -- Where to buy?

    Michael & Bob, Just to add to Bob's post. Between a trustworthy sheet metal shop & our then neighbor & friend body shop ... we replaced a bunch of our metal panels & some of the supporting structure on our metal facade because of some anonymous rascals running into it (hit & run) over the...

    Plastic finaly going away?

    Earl & others, For those interested in some pro & con ... the following does shed some light before everyone gets totally enamored: http://gizmodo.com/how-safe-can-apple-pay-really-be-1633065822 One thing about the article towards the end ... is that higher denomination coins with their...

    Plastic finaly going away?

    Earl, http://www.computerworld.com/article/2600348/mobile-security/are-your-calls-being-intercepted-17-fake-cell-towers-discovered-in-one-month.html The above does seem to say something about 4G also being vulnerable & detectable. As far as specifically how NFC bank transfers could be...

    Thanes1 & others, http://www.theverge.com/2014/9/18/6394391/phony-cell-towers-are-the-next-big-security-risk The above linked article among some others ... could be a consideration also. Out of all the approaches to our self service payment methods ... higher denomination coins available to...

    any recommendations,failure of single phase baldor motors

    Wash4Me, cmawash, & others, What should also be considered which may cost more is to possibly make sure the single phase VFD to 3 phase motor is done with a 3 phase motor that is classified & properly rated to work with VFDs. More than one engineer told me that there are distinct differences...

    any recommendations,failure of single phase baldor motors

    cmawash, We have honestly been blessed to have a really good 2nd generation motor sales & repair shop here locally. If you can locate a really good repair shop in your area ... I would definitely find out if the Baldors could be restored better than when they were originally manufactured ...

    Booster pump Impeller repair

    Walter, Local swimming pool contracting companies tend to have the kits to repair these depending on your model. We have had good success repairing a bronze volute StaRite impeller pump. It has been a long time since we have done it but ... if I remember right there was a spring enclosed seal...

    Waxman, Can you do a quick link to those four pictures so some of the rest of us can follow along ... especially since a bunch of us have the same relevant AMS area that you are troubleshooting.

    Plastic finaly going away?

    Earl, I don't have a crystal ball but I think Whale-John is correct on his post partially based what I just read from a Finland laundry facility operator. It appears that the cell phone company will eventually possibly be the recipient of the majority of merchant fees. Note: Nico said that...

    cat pump vibration / pulsation

    washman9, If you look at some past posts by Randy ... you may find that constant pressure from a city water type of setup may help prevent these washout problems. Based on our specific experience we do not have Randy's setup ... but I honestly think that us using this &/or a similar gun...

    Coin box wiring/layout

    I think the combination of cfcw & 2Biz's posts makes for a very good understanding of the rotary switch wiring. With the help of GinSan Industries & Dixmor we put together our remanufactured 12 BUTTON coin boxes which also gives a wee bit more customer feedback via the tiny LEDs that are next...
