We found out that the coin changer will take tokens, but the only problem is you can't give the token a value. So we can't use the changer for tokens. We can use the validator but not the changer. Uncle Sam

We have just been advised by our manufacturer that each vendor should be plugged into a dedicated power source just for the vendor. The electronics in the machine are very sensitive to transients created by different motors starting up and stopping. We suggest that you also add a surge...

Soapy, I love ya, man, but somehow saying that the WCA's declining attendance is less percentage wise than other shows does not give me great comfort. As an exhibitor we need the numbers to increase to justify showing. In these difficult economic times, I want to be pleasantly surprised at...

SPECS: The ShurVend Half-Pint FL or RL requires a hole that is 32 ?-inches wide by 46 ?-inches high. The FL and RL “footprint” into your equipment room is 28-inches (if you have an 8-inch block wall) because the vendor trays are a full size 24-inches long. In addition the rear-load RL...

We asked for input from Forum members and studied both a Vend-Master & Vend-It unit in-house before we designed and built our ShurVend Half-Pint vendor to incorporate the Forum member inputs and overcome the flaws that have been posted on the Forum. We have utilized established technology to...

WCA Show post ShurVend will be at the WCA Show in Las Vegas on September 22-24, 2008 at the Bally?s Convention Center in Booth #1229 &1231. We will be showing the latest versions of our Half-Pint small vendor with the Wickets RF system installed. We will also have our full size Hi-Security...

Believe me we don?t like to hear about any of our customers getting ?clobbered?, having to absorb the losses, pay extra money to protect their vendor, do the repairs, and have the downtime with no vending sales. So we are rethinking our marketing to emphasize complete security packages for all...

Recently a long time customer?s unsecured vendor got clobbered after experiencing very little vandalism/theft for a number of years. We have always been cautious in selling any of our vendors to operators for installation at an unattended site open 24/7/365 without recommending very strongly a...

We have had some complaints from operators trying to install our Hi-Security vendor/cage at their wash and gaining access to the power cord to plug into their power source. The vendors now come with a big GFI safety device that has been mandated to be installed inline with the power cord near...

MEP, They just eliminate facilities for you or your employees convenience. No rhyme or reason to that kind of thinking. Some investors that I know eliminate it on the plans and then "bootleg" it in after final inspection. One hell of a way to operate!! Uncle Sam

I will continue to plan on visiting as many customers as I can when my ?fool around vices?, business, or family functions take my travels close to customer operations. I will be down in the San Diego area very soon (doing the Grandpa thing) and visiting some of my customers to see and hear what...

We all have ?vices? and one of mine is a passion for Dixieland Jazz music played by many bands from all over the U.S., Canada, England, Europe, Australia, and Japan. Many Dixieland Jazz clubs produce Dixieland Jazz Festivals, which my wife and I have followed for 30 years, where music is...

We hear about some of the requirements that city?s have imposed on car wash projects: one was the installation of an enclosed handicapped restroom into the equipment room even though the equipment room is not open to the public. The operator had wanted to install one of our small backloaders...

We have heard from many different operators/builders that getting City Hall to OK plans for building new or rehabbing a car wash gets very time consuming. The city?s bureaucrats never have enough funds to do what they want, so they try to impose fees or ?kill? a car wash project because car...

Everybody is well aware of the gasoline price increases and the commodity price increases. I made some supplier calls yesterday to get a handle on what my future costs are going to be for the next 2 months or so. You won't be surprised at what I was told. The vending machine prices were...

USA Technology, the makers and processors of the e-Port credit card systems, have not be able to provide readers and processing for our Canadian friends in past years. I am now informed that USA Technology is negotiating with a Canadian cellular provider and should have e-Port service in Canada...

Sequoia, Good for you. Sometimes it takes a little doing but you got it done with our help. Uncle Sam

We now can offer the Pyramid brand of money handling equipment in our vendor. The bill validator comes in 2 models: $1-$5 and $1-$20 acceptance. These can be flash upgraded with the new bill firmware when bill changes are made. There is also a coin changer model CG5 which is a 5-tube changer...

We want to continue to have a positive outlook in these difficult times, so we are offering a new financing program to help operators add a vending profit center to their wash. We are going to use the latest technology to make the payments so there are minimum fees paid to the postal service...

MEP001, Thanks for voting for quality in products that are marketed to the car wash operators. It sure hurts in the short term but hopefully we can win in the long term. Uncle Sam
