    Just need to check myself on wiring 24vac

    The 24V "common" side of the bays' transformers will need to be tied together at some point to run a single common to the triple foam panel. If it's not already, you can tie them at the transformer or terminal strip and run only one common to the Air Logic system. Before you tie them together...

    Dixmor Led3, Led7

    Yes, the only difference is the black wire that loops to two terminals for the LED3 is now the CC and AUX inputs.

    THEFT WARNING

    I use Media Player Classic HC. It doesn't require an installation, just put it in the same folder as the video. VLC needs to be installed.

    Coins in short supply....

    There is no such thing anymore. It's all half-truths to outright lies. They want to create public outrage just to get viewers.

    My “new” meter boxes

    I had been using STAGraphics, but they no longer have the material I like. They do excellent print work but they can't seem to cut things properly. I had to quit using individual function circles because they could never get the holes they fit into round. At least they're very affordable and...

    Who says Self Serves are dying?

    IMO those customers don't overlap much. I had borrowed a friend's car which was filthy and I didn't have time to give it a real cleaning, so I went through a brand new EE near me. It did a lousy job. Since I was in a hurry that day I didn't go around to complain or ask for a re-wash, but I...

    Snatch and Run

    I have everything keyed alike that I can, so there are only five keys on my ring. Sure better than the 18 I needed when I first got it. No one's getting those keys without prying them out of my dead hands.

    Cleaning used meter boxes (mortar and some other film)

    Muriatic acid won't hurt stainless as long as you don't let it dry, but if you do it will turn it black. Toilet bowl cleaner works well, Sno Bol is cheap and works well. I've cleaned mortar off stainless by scraping the bulk off with a razor and cleaning with Klean Wall, and it looks like new...

    Snatch and Run

    How well does S.A. police respond to calls? I'd hide in the ER with a shotgun and call the police if he shows up. I've found a few key words that helps get the police there in a hurry - once I called and said I was outside handling the money and a guy was hiding behind the fence at the rear of...

    Who says Self Serves are dying?

    A lot of self-serve only washes here have been torn down, so the ones that are left have an opportunity to make a good income. Mine is doing really well.

    Wiring up cryptopay

    It's just voltage, it doesn't really matter where you tie in. I usually tie in right along with the coin acceptor because you will eventually have to replace something and unwire/wire in again there. The Dixmor harnesses come pre-wired for everything. It looks like they cut the unused wires...

    Weird phenomenon

    If you want the police to do something, you'd have to catch them in the act, get the police out, and have them issue a criminal trespass warrant. Here they will do a blanket warrant for my property so I can call the cops and they'll go issue a warrant and remove them from the property without...

    Seaking Air Distribution Manifold Block PN339 for a newer Belanger Vector

    http://www.ascws.com/product/8510/valve-and-mnfld-asy-120v-and-60hz.htm It's just solenoids on a fancy block setup. You should be able to recreate that with normally open, normally closed and 3-way valves on a tree for a few hundred bucks.

    And lawnmower repair, and upholstery shop? Where did all that stuff come from?

    Weird phenomenon

    The only thing I would suggest is putting up a sign not to do it. Cite whatever you need to, but at least that way if someone slips and falls and gets hurt they can't sue you because you have a sign telling them they shouldn't have been in there. It's another instance of protecting people from...

    Cat pump

    Regulator is set too high or is bad. If it's a Paraplate and you can see rust weeping from the holes in the body, it's been bad for months.

    WINDTRAX vs AIR LOGIC Triple Foam system

    They're mostly as good as the components they use, and both use fairly decent stuff. I like the simpler design of the Windtrax system which only has one pump - I've seen it done both ways and the color change is only 2-3 seconds when you mix the colors between the tanks and the pumps. IDGAF...
