I just bought a 3 foot asembly and controller for each. They last years unless something gets wet which happened rarely. Still you may want to order a couple of spares. For the little savings I did not want to ess with cutting the longer length.

I can have ice an inch thick build up around the coin boxes walls and on the vaults. The heaters keep the coinboxes ice free and useable. Do you have doors on the bays? How do you keep the boxes from icing up?

Depending on vintage some Coleman Units have colored tubes. I painted some with a light coat of paint but now use a colred transparent plastic material I just get transparent color notebook indexes at te office supply store and cut it to roll isnide the tueb. I also make some small holes in it...

As stated, the shows can provide valuable info. Some of the best stuff i go in recent years was at roundtable or informal sessions with other operators. "consultants" and mfgr reps are great but I'd rather hear about what works from succesful operators like Auto bell, Jax, Benny's Hoffman etc...

MAke sure the tunnel is really bright. Good lights. White glassboard walls. etc.

FWIW I mounted stand alone fragrance nd tire inflator machines I had to the side of the Coleman Combos. Fragrance on Shampoo and Vac and Tire air on the Fragrance and Vac.

Simple change to flashing rope light. From Noveltylights.com No mre bubblers for me!

No pad issues with the Viper. About as maintenca free as car wash equip can get. Costs more per application but less in agravation.

I have read posts about lugging quarters to and from the bank and can only conclude that different locals experience different things. I never bring quarters to the bank. I have to bring more a couple of times a month. Since I installed bay bill acceptors my bill receipts run about 1/3 in the...

I stand corrected. Still would like to carry less than 5lbs in paper vs more than 25lbs in coins for $1600

Some of my newer doors llok like they have a place for the acceptor already marked. The others look like there is room. The red and green lights may have to be moved but that is simple. Otherwise you just need to make holes for mounting bolts and bill insertion. How to secure the door is...

i don't have much issue with icing in the vault. It's thawing the accumulation on the outside that is a PITA. I now use 2 torches, one in each hand.

i see . 4000 quarters tray capacity a minute with presumeably same speed for dollar coins vs 1600 bills a minute. I'd much rather carry and load the 1600 bills. The coins would way about 50lbs vs less than 5 for the bills.

There is a clear vertical hose that runs from the top to the bottom of the tank inside the door. As long as the shampoo has a slight color you can see the level. There are push lock fittings at the top and bottom of the hose. You can disconnect it at the top and put that end in a bucket to...

Let me know how the bill acceptor upgrade goes, Been thinking of doing it. What extra security are you adding to the door? As far as the hose goes, they seem to break in the middle from the flexing and bending after about 2 years, I have added an extra cover in this area but don't like what...

I have a form. PM me with your e-mail and I will send. Important points. #1. I call it an "Alleged Incident report". I don't want anyone to think we regularly encounter damage claims. # 2. It clearly states "Completion of this report is not an admission of liability by the facility or...

I think this is the correct way to do it.

“Us and Them” by Mr. Roman in the 5/13 issue of Auto Laundry News points out the declining membership in the ICA and offers reasons. I agree with a lot of what is written, but I am not sure I get all of it. He writes; “ After writing about this I received e-mail from operators. Most comments...

Mr. Walsh, I don't have the equipment to experiment but I have seen both coin counters and bill counters at work. I doubt there is much difference in speed vis a vis counting 500 bills or 500 coins. Although there may be some time savings in that they band the bills right away and the coins go...
