Get a clamp-on amperage meter. You'll need one that reads up to at least 400 amps. I carry one that reads to 600, Klein, was $30 at Home Depot.

I could make even more in Houston, but I don't like it there.

They can't backflow into a garden hose spigot if you have the proper anti-siphon protection on it.

I could make a very long list of things that banks used to do for free that they now either don't do at all or charge money to do. Why is it even legal for them to charge $535 for a bag of 2000 quarters or 500 dollar coins? My fiancée's credit union is the only place in town that takes mixed...

My bank (Wells Fargo) requires them sorted and strapped, and they verify everything with their own counter. They don't even have a sorter anymore. I do night drops so I don't have to stand in line and wait for them to count and verify. I was really glad to have night drops set up before COVID...

Actually I'm looking for an industrial space to rent so I can get back to building stuff.

It's probably not a measurable part of the increase here either. It might be a residual effect from the COVID shutdowns last year. About two weeks after the shelter-at-home orders came through, my income went way up from the year before. FWIW I do see a lot more people coming in with...

It's the opposite here. New car sales are down obviously because there are no new cars on the lots, but used car sales are crazy. The value of used cars has gone up 50% in the last six months. I was trying to buy a used Ford Transit Connect, but ones 2-4 years old with 50,000 miles are...

I used to run an old wash that had four inches of concrete on the roof with black waterproofing tar on top of that. It would still be 145° inside the room at 10:00 at night.

July, August, and September for me this year were higher than last year's same months, which were also really good. October seems down from last year so far, but it's still been really good - October last year was most likely a record high for the wash, but last three months were all better...

The stuff I build myself.

It may not be a thing anymore, but they'd pour salt water into the coin slot and it would run down onto the controller and buttons and short them out so the machine would just vend something every time a button is pressed.

You might consider switching to something besides Slugbuster II if it's not too late. Slugbuster II will take a dollar coin and give only a quarter credit, and it can only take a quarter and one other coin. If you have any plan to accept and/or vend dollar coins, don't use Slugbuster II. The...

That's what happened with one of mine. The other was salted and emptied of product and never worked right again.

Then swap the coin acceptor and try again. I'm not familiar with Mark 7 doors, but GinSan doors have a circuit board that only serves to operate the pushbuttons, and there is a display timer on the board that is only a slave with another timer in the pumpstand that actually operates the bay.

Google.

I had a soda machine at a wash some 20 years ago, netted about $50 a month. Would have been easily twice that if I had owned the machine instead of doing it under contract with Coca-Cola, but the machine was destroyed twice and replaced at no cost to me.

LAI also has a housing that lets you cover the plug lock with a heavy puck lock. Layers of protection is always good. You could add a lock bar but it's going to be very difficult with the brick extended out so far. You might be better off welding something inside the box with a tab that comes...

It wasn't a question, it was pointing out that it was in OP's original post. You might try once in a while reading the entire thread.
