    Electroswitch spade connector size

    Are they 8 or 10 position? You can use a wider one on the 8. I like these for the 10: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/571-52927 They're a little harder to use because they snap onto the screw, but they don't push themselves off when you tighten it. You can get them with straight spades...

    Dilling & Harris SS stand questions

    I've never seen a system set up like that. Seems like it would work as long as the spot free rinse pressure is high enough that it will stop the flow of air. I used to build equipment that used a common air solenoid for tire cleaner and presoak - it worked well but it was really difficult to...

    Why would our Air compressor keep tripping breaker

    Could be any of a number of things. Might be a bad air leak, the check valve in the tank could be bad, the pressure switch could be bad, the pump or motor could be failing.

    Chip reader, Near Field, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay

    All mine have been for at least the last ten years. I don't know if the chip readers could work for us because if I'm not mistaken the card has to remain in the reader during the transaction. And as much trouble as I have with chip readers working when I make purchases, I can't imagine how it...

    WashWorld Razor E-Chain poly-tubing

    N11 tubing is rated almost twice that pressure and is actually cheaper on this site: https://www.hoseandfittingsupply.com/Nylon-Tubing-p/n11.htm I stay away from any colors, especially red, and also clear. Even indirect sunlight breaks it down quickly and it gets brittle. Black N11 won't...

    When you click "Reply," just type your message under the text that comes up that's surrounded by the [ quote ] and [ /quote ] tags so you don't end up with one post that's just a quote and another that's a message not addressed to anyone.

    Recourse

    I'll still lend money, I just don't expect to get it back, so I won't lend what I can't afford to lose.

    Better way to lock JC oval vacs with the large doors?

    I'm going to take some pieces of 1 1/2" stainless angle I have and cut some pieces for hasps. I'll need to cut a slot in the door for the tab to come through, then I'll put a disk padlock on the outside. I'll try to get one cut, drilled, and mounted in the next couple days so I can take...

    Have you tried to save these to post? Taking screenshots varies between phones, and once you've scrolled through and done that it's just pictures in a file you can post.

    Change Laurel mechaincal drop shelf to to accept tokens instead of quarters?

    Because customers don't want leftover tokens, especially around here. They don't even know what dollar coins are. This guy has the right idea, he says it's been very successful.

    Change Laurel mechaincal drop shelf to to accept tokens instead of quarters?

    https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-1449-mechanisms-984-token-25-mech.aspx No, just mixed in the .984" tokens. The ones I ran out of were some old stock I bought, don't know where they came from but they have a © symbol. It was taking me two months to go through each hundred I put in the...

    Change Laurel mechaincal drop shelf to to accept tokens instead of quarters?

    There is a Coin Mech insert that will fit in a Laurel vendor that takes both .984" diameter tokens and quarters. That's what I have in mine until I eventually replace the vendors with electronic ones. It works for me because I dispense tokens mixed in with the quarters. The vendor works fine...

    Credit Card usage increase

    I've noticed more stores lately asking customers to use credit/debit to pay, some stating that they don't have change to give out at all. Home Depot has only self-checkout open and none of them take cash - I assume you have to go to the customer service desk to pay with cash. I normally try to...

    Which Cryptopay swiper for vacuum?

    It depends on how you want it configured. You probably aren't going to go count-up, so you don't need the swiper with the button to cancel the time, and count-up doesn't work right with combo vacs that have different times for functions. On combo units you can have it set so they can swipe...

    Good Tire / Engine cleaner from Kleen-Rite

    That's good - I've seen the stuff used at a number of washes but it doesn't do anything. They may be diluting it too much.

    Adding an Air line for my large compressor and charging for it

    Most of the air machines here are $1.50 and are more often than not marked out of order.

    WashWorld Razor E-Chain poly-tubing

    Are there any specs on the tubing? Maybe it's N11 nylon or air brake tubing.
