    Cleaning Aluminum Equipment

    OK Guys, My installer says try "Awesome" from Dollar Tree. There are several items by this brand name. It is in a semi clear bottle and yellowish color. Spray it on, let it sit a minute, use an SOS pad (lengthwise along the leg / beam) and the aluminum polished up like new.

    "Metered time is way off" complaint

    Never said it was "right", just not deceptive. If they are not smart enough to be aware of and understand this concept do you really want to be on the same road they are driving on?

    "Metered time is way off" complaint

    No, the reason goes back 80 plus years. Why do all gas prices have nine tenths of a cent? Answer: The extra "tenths" is a very old tradition that's never gone away. In 1935, a Reno Nevada newspaper wrote about "selling third grade gasoline at eight and nine-tenths cents a gallon." In those...

    "Metered time is way off" complaint

    Haven't had one yet with the LED 7s. Have had them over the years with gas pumps. The best is when numb nuts sees the price of $3.99 and gets 10 gallons and claims I overcharged because it came to $39.99 instead of $39.90. Of course the receipt and sign list the price as $3.99 &9 /10...

    Sonny's noisy mitter experience.

    On the Whip across I replaced the outside baskets that slap the sides with the micr clean. No improvement. MAy try the firow or two on Sonny's FTB and see. More likely I will start when bumber touches which is where the initial slap occurs.

    Advice on replacing conveyor chain

    If I understand this the third roller that is not supposed to come up comes up slightly and jams? Ths sounds to me like the lift out is not dropping like it should. I do not have a Sonny's unit so I am not sure if you have the lift outs simply drop with the weight of the roller when air is...
