Earl, Dogwasher & others, I had several advertisers pull something similar. This might be better as a new thread addressing phone solicitations in general ---- "targeted mailings" being just one of them with potential misleading offers or stuff. The bill can keep coming --- I write on bill...

sprocket, Too much time passing can be a factor ----- I think Bill P's approach is the best. It seems like in order to cash that check she has an account at a bank where it went into & before the $50 was released to her as cash below the amount she has at the bank. Your bank does a dispute...

Rotary Screw both quiet & all blue sky??? Soapy & others, I am assuming that the screw air compressor that you are referring to is also called a rotary air compressor. Has anyone on the forum been successful using a rotary compressor in a self service or even in an IBA or tunnel setting or...

white collar or blue collar? Red, As a figure of speech --- you dodged a bullet!!! When I was a lot younger, my dad used to warn me when I was not paying enough attention to our facility that " One of these days you will go down there & the whole building & everything will be gone." I had a...

Rapidseller, You can buy a non contact 24 VAC tester at Menards in your area I am pretty sure. If not go to an electrical supply wholesaler or get one off the Internet. Also at Menards you can get a contact voltage tester (multimeter) which is another option. Test to see at what point in the...

The repair kit for the SW0260 has instructions included with it & with necessary dowels to tap properly. I said we hammer the notches --- actually we lightly file a notch with a triangular file. A 3rd repair is not worth it but 2 seems to be worth it. A tip is to let them soak in vinegar for...

Try one repair & keep a record if it lasts as long as new rather than guessing. 2Biz, When you get that swivel which is also the one we use order at least one $4.95 repair kit & try to repair it at least once when needed. That way the forum users of that swivel will have another supporter at...

Randy & others, We have been rebuilding these brass SW0260s for as long as I remember --- over 15 years now. It seems to be worth it for us. We hammer a notch on each one representing a previous repair & after couple of times of rebuild ---- then at that point it is not worth it for us...

Is this wishful thinking or actually feasible??? cfcw, I wonder if there is any drawback to doing that. It seems like the TDS before the membrane would keep getting higher & higher which would eventually cause a problem. Also it seems that flushing is needed which in our case means more...

Waxman & others, I am sure that many of you noticed this very heavy situation where "tips" actually turned out to be different than a "free will" offering. It was just sent out this afternoon by the Professional Car Washing Publication...

Earl, I agree that makes sense to have the dedicated account considering some earlier posts on this forum --- of mixups happening. I never did hear if every operator was taken care properly & the mixups were resolved & in a timely straightforward non demoralizing way. One vendor said that for...

Portski, Are you on a corner lot? When they put new pipes in --- our city insisted on testing an 6-10 block stretch of pipe which meant several months of no access in front of our facility. It was an extremely tough situation. We did stay open by putting up huge signs & rerouting the cars...

Soapy, ATM is definitely significantly different than a CC to token machine. If I had tokens I would require cash & possibly give out bonus tokens for cash at my now repaired glass front Mega Vendor (once again attractive & pretty). Mep, Wow, I would be scarred too if that $8.50 happened...

:eek:Could this be bit scary for country bumkins like some of us ---- & it appears to be a done deal! Here we thought that CC acceptance was going to be a way of avoiding becoming nonstop bean counters so we could focus on more worthwhile blood, sweat & tears! :)On the other hand as long as...

I know lots of you are in pretty deep in & on any & all Credit Card Acceptance & for a significant amount of time also--- so what am going to propose may be repulsive to you! It seems like an ATM for CC acceptance is the most practical as much as possible. It seems like an ATM giving out five...

Waxman & others, It would be nice to see the exact cause brought to light. It brings back memories of a horrific fire where air ignited caused by a woman using nail polish remover while smoking at a rental unit that I happened to be involved in its restoration as part owner. MJ

ToFarGone20 & others, Staying ahead of the potential maintenance issues is definitely the key. For example in our climate the doors can get heavy with ice ---- make sure you wash the ice off before it affects the person opening it. Make sure the deicer is working --- especially under & close...

Mr. Clean & others, Be prepared for a higher level of door maintenance if you want those operators to work consistently. In other words ---- if the customers scrape the rail turning too sharply or catch the bottom panels with a high profile vehicle it can mean the door will not go up & down...

Because it is usually a new customer --- the above is the best approach. That does not mean that we can't have some "fun" by telling them the machine is a "literacy machine" with just a tiny bit of a smirk ---- especially if the arrow & sign wording was as good as possible. MJ

Cost of plane fares could be an issue from North Dakota even though Chicago is closer.
