This procedure applies to all AMS Visi-Combo vending machines put into service after October, 2005. We are all trying to save energy costs anyway we can, so here is another way to do so in the vending machine. It is often overlooked as one of the choices that an operator can make in the...

Well, we did some more testing of the large ArmorAll TO GO packs in our ShurVend Half-Pint 18 selection vendor this week and the TO GO packs will vend just like they do in the larger vendor. Sooooo, any one that wants these packs in their vendor can do so. Contact us and we will tell you how...

We posted about an error on the toll free phone number area code that was in recent ShurVend Ad in the SSCWN. Of course these things are always somebody else's fault, right??? Weeeeellllllllll, we looked closely at the the brochure we sent to JJ for the Ad and, guess what? After countless...

Bubbles, I have been waiting for Jim to get the interface done to make the Etowah credit card system work in the ShurVend vendor for a loooooooooonnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggg time now, but it hasn't been done. Bang on Jim for that!!! Uncle Sam :(

We have just been informed that from now through December 31, 2008 that the USA Technologies wireless e-Port credit card system will be on sale for $395 each from ShurVend. We get a price break so we pass it on to you. The system on sale is capable of reading a magnetic strip card or using the...

We did some further test vending and placement of these new ArmorAll TO GO packs in the ShurVend full-sized vendor and can now supply the proper helix sizes, dividers, and written instructions to our customers if they want to vend these packs. We have not tested the smaller 18-selection...

I.B. Don't know who proof read the ad, but it is just "awkward" for us. JJ, I know you're not perfect and neither am I; I was just being facetious. Hopefully those that want to call on the ad will see this post. Uncle Sam:D

I was told today by a reader of the SSCWN that the toll free number was printed wrong. Sure 'nuf it was. The area code is "866" not "886". And here I thought JJ was perfect!! Uncle Sam :(

A customer called today about having trouble vending a new ArmorAll TO-GO package of Auto Glass Wipes. These are a large package that is 7-inches wide, 8-inches high, and 2.5-inches thick containing 25 wipes in a resealable pouch. It is also sold in 25-wipe packs of Detailing Wipes and...

We finally received our shipment of the new Coinco "Vantage" bill validators; the VX63B25 accepts $1 & $5 and the VX63B45 accepts $1-$20. The geometry of these validators is very similar to the Mars, has 4-way bill acceptance, and claims a high resistance to water shutting it down. The price...

Chad, Bill said it all about my wife and my attempt at educating operators. Uncle Sam

The small, 18-selection vendors that are installed into the equipment room wall or into an enclosed kiosk (with front access) are the ones whose installation needs to planned very carefully. The geometry of the coin slot, bill validator slot, and selection buttons in these vendors is fixed and...

We are receiving calls from operators planning a new wash or rehabbing an older one asking about meeting the ADA regulations for vending machine installations. Operators need to understand and be educated about the ADA requirements so you can talk intelligently to City/County planning personnel...

Pictures of Damage

When we go through difficult economic times, everyone looks for equipment at a ?bargain price? for sprucing up the wash to get an edge on the competition. That ?bargain price? usually means that some of the quality (not obvious at first glance) gets downgraded with plastic parts and/or thinner...

"Spam Folders" are becoming a real problem in communicating information about our products with potential customers. Just yesterday I received a phone call from an operator that wanted information about our vendors. I got an email address so I could get the information to them quickly. I...

Ken: Glad you are feeling well!! I had a PVA here in Calif just over a year ago. After 2 Afibs during the week after surgery, I have never had an "episode" since. I went back 90 days after my surgery for a checkup and was pronounced "cured". You don't hear doctors use the "cured" term very...

There have many discussions on this forum about the "ways" that all Association Shows are run and the remedies to fix them. I received an email survey last week sent to all show exhibitors (ICA listing) for a response by October 10. The results should be very interesting and may determine how...

Baywatch, There are newer changers that can be used in your Vendmaster if you have the normal vendor operating system. They will take both tokens and real money and can be retrofit into the vendor in the same place your existing one is. We can also turn off the nickels and dimes so you won't...

I noticed that some companies are offering what is known as an Outsider on their websites and at the recent WCA show for use in the car wash environment. This model is manufactured as a vendor to be ready for outside installation and more secure than their other models. We have sold these...
