    Counting $$$

    Thanks Earl, for the link. To respond ... if I may ... Anybody with an electronic tracking - database tracking background specializing in coin ... knows that it is much more straightforward & less costly to verify coin counts than the bit too much "dependency created" on credit cards etc...

    Bay rotary switch

    Slash007 & others, I wonder if medium duty Loctite would prevent the loosening? That worked really good for our coin slides in our Laundromat to prevent that specific screw from loosening up. Also some set screws have better gripping power at their base. We have found that in most sizes, set...

    Bay rotary switch

    Based on 2 of the last 3 posts I am kind of glad we chose to go with vandal resistant SS momentary push buttons with one of the GinSan distribution boards. To be on the cautious side ... it has been less than 2 years since the beginning of our transition from the no longer available Specialty...

    KR Lighted Vac Claw

    Soapy, Did the new ones with the metal screws work out somewhat better than some of the more recent posts about them? Is there a way to replace the batteries if they lasted long enough for the batteries to go dead? mike

    Water in Cat Pump 623 Oil

    This is a long shot & unlikely ... but be sure & check the vent on the large red fill cap nut & make sure that it is not partially plugged. When we first starting using Cat pumps back in the 70s, the local distributor-installer for them left the tape on over the vent hole & it caused tiny bits...

    Floor heat question

    Good idea. We even used a cable to prevent the local newspaper's vending machine from potentially getting tipped onto a small child.

    So Lets think about this…

    :) Another good story is the one that JJJ in the SSCWN laid out with all the serious pictorial evidence of some very mischievous birds.:) So there was an explanation!!! There is a need for more Sherlock Holmes sometimes! :mad:

    FloJet Question

    Edie011, On our setup we use a multiplexer from IDX. Go to the IDX website or call them if my explanation does not get you far enough along in understanding what their specific multiplexer does. What the reliable IDX multiplexer does for our low pressure options is ... when any two (air &...

    Cryptopay swipers keep shorting out.

    Diamond, What I was referring to was more as to the "entering of a pin" requirement of the new EMV standard. As far as the exact impact on the exact future hardware needed for the more moisture resistant needs of our coin box credit card acceptance ... it just seems like something to consider...

    Cryptopay swipers keep shorting out.

    I wonder if in colder climates like where we are that have a more intense moisture in the air issue in our bays during the winter than with car washes with no overhead doors ... whether the Cryptopays will stand up in the long term. Any news on how or if they are going to address the likelihood...

    Wichita video shows car wash theft

    Thanks Ghetto for the link. They seem to be less than 1/3rd of the cost of metal grates. If the below supporting iron channels are within the chart's specifications ... it could very well work out. We sometimes get heavy skidsteers & even heavier loads in our 13' height bay ... I wonder if...

    biometric time clock

    Randy, The ankle approach would be 100%:) in case an employee would catch a ride with someone & left the vehicle on site. Recently a bunch of us coming out of church on a Sunday morning & a friend was going after his car so as to pick up his wife at the corner of the block at a crosswalk...

    Wichita video shows car wash theft

    Any chance that you have a link to those specific fiberglass grates that can be driven over by possibly a much heavier vehicle than the average car etc.?

    Wichita video shows car wash theft

    Diana, That is where a really good license plate camera recording could pay for itself just for one incident. Those grates are very expensive & are usually custom made up. We had to replace an approximate 2' square section recently & it was almost a $100. We checked into fiberglass grating &...

    Different Winter - Summer SS Rates

    2Biz, It would take some "finesse" at the control level but it seems like for some of us ... a way of charging more for prime time makes sense. For some of us in tougher climates, there is a rush of business during the "prime daylight hours" during the milder days of winter. People who only...

    Counting $$$

    Eric & others, It is true that the bill counts from the Standard Audits are really accurate. When the data simply goes over the serial port to the database & no margin of error in terms of a typo or not neat enough handwriting ... I believe there is a gain & really the least techie in the...
