Alma, IB & Eric, I hope we get this sorted out :confused: so we get a better handle on educator & educator parts ordering ... we had to go the linked below educator when we went to the Warsaw MicroDrums a quite a few years ago. I am not sure how the educato needs of the MicroDrum compare with...

Just to add to my previous posts that hopefully have been understandable, we have a total of 8 hoppers in our 2 Standard Changemakers. Color coding sometimes helps. We dyed 4 cloth bank bags green & 4 red & also lettered the 8 bags to coincide with the specific A,B,C & D large hoppers ... so...

Earl, I have given some of my better customers strict orders after they over & over again keep on insisting on getting 100% dollar coins from us ... forcing us to special order more than otherwise needed. Here goes ... when they go into whatever bank, they are assigned to do the following...

Earl, It is just my opinion, but I don't think it hurt any to have Laundromats assisting in that successful turn of events process. In our state, a highly skilled legislator on the tax committee ... to his credit ... even got the sales tax taken off of video games effective July 1st, 2012. It...

I concur with both Eric & 2Biz's approach. I can especially relate to Eric ... since we were audited awhile back by an extremely aggressive :confused: state sales tax auditor on the applicable specific sales tax items etc. It is still better than the sales tax being on all the gross receipts...

Fellow Operators who rely on their surveillance cameras, Here is a demo of an extension to the SketchUp software. Just in case some of you have played with the SketchUp 3D Modeling Software. Quote: "Axis Camera Extension is a free tool for SketchUp that provides 3D CAD camera models with...

Reds, A quite few years ago we bought a bunch of Zap door openers from Airlift in Minneapolis. If it is only ice & not any other problems with your overhead doors, the 24 VDC Zap operators could potentially work out. We have them set up so a small air cylinder with linkage engages the belt...

Sparkey, Have you completely eliminated the possibility of something making the city water pressure less other than the actual large city main itself that branches out to your business & the other businesses on the same city street? Back in 1987 with the smaller tanks on our brand new car wash...

I see they seem to have 5 different versions & it appears they require a quote. If you don't mind me asking ... what kind of dollars are we considering?

When we put in our new HydroSpray-Mosmatic booms one of the accessory items that we debated on ... was the boom positioning magnet. This evening I was at the car wash alone & so it made sense for me to be the one changing a hi pressure hose that sprung a leak in our truck bay. I was pleasantly...

Eric, They were the style that used magnetic ballasts & T12 fluorescent tubes. The enclosures were pretty far gone ... I do not believe it would make sense ... considering shipping cost etc. Thanks though ... you never know sometimes used stuff can buy an operator time before he is ready for...

sjb, Cmawash is saying something that one should consider. In 3 of our bays we replaced a bunch of 4' 2 bulb (water resistant len covers) fixtures with the KR G&G LED strips. G&G Jason Baright was good to work with. It was around $4K cost. Advantages: more directional, 100% waterproof, zero...

Addressing the Testing Ability Question JimT, When you call Brush, they may refer you to their sister company http://www.q-card.com/about.asp for the ability to diagnose more specifically the specific hardware. Thanks to Randy's link, I just learned of that there is a whole industry...

Bill, I believe the following is a link to Mike's obituary. Correct me if I am wrong. http://nidayfunerals.com/obits/?p=7230 My brother who was born about 6 months before Mike Vukelich also served in Vietnam. One my first cousins (Nebraska-Iowa area) ... who is also a dear friend ...

Hoser06, Thanks ... I was wondering when someone from Canada would chime in. It is very important that we pay attention so we learn from each other's countries. Some Americans in leadership positions seem to think because we just happen to currently have the most military power & just happen...

2Biz, LOL ... Nice Pic! Good point on where to put the snow ... especially ... in places where the below freezing lasts much longer such as in our area ... that means way less natural melting ... between snowfalls. I am really surprised there have not been more comments on the dilemma of...

Thanks Bill for the information. What I saw in Mike Vukelich based both on the Forum & having a great visit with him in person at his car wash when I was in Houston about a year ago ... was that he was a man of deeply held values & was not afraid to share those values. May that great benign...

Enzo & others, Even in our relatively low crime area ... we have had our ups with downs ... not just with theft but with vandalism. Without going into too much detail ... we have used a "24 hr/7 days" two way intercom setup. The key is the ability to respond quickly so it is better than just...

JGinther, We had the paddle actually break off on a McDonnell Miller flow switch. It was very bad scenario because the broken lower part pf the paddle had to be found within the piping ... in who knows where spot. It might have been because the extra flow velocity that a mechanical engineer...

Cantbreak80, Hopefully, no mindless arguments will occur against your valid observation:)! With overhead doors on both sides & heaters needed in the climate in our area ... coins frozen solid in thick ice is not a problem for us ... even if we had vaults. Oops ... lots of overhead door & heat...
