    CAT CP 2120 Vibration

    I agree with Randy. Pull the head and remove the seals. It’s probably already washed out. Don’t just throw a set of seals in it, hoping for the best. If you want to waste $75 I’ll send you my PayPal address. :)

    Unlimited for Self Serves

    Wow! My dad's first wash was built in 1969. We were 25¢ for 5 minutes.

    Drying quarters

    Can't you just rig up an incandescent light bulb in there? The power supply already has a place to plug it in.

    Labor rates

    I recently retired and now use an express myself. I pay $17.95 per month for my first vehicle and $8.95 for the second one. $26.90 keeps my vehicles washed all month. There is also another express just 1/4 mile away. I think they look at any major intersection as the potential for 5 express...

    Labor rates

    A Facebook post a few days ago on Talkcarwash. Someone was parting out their express wash because someone built a new one directly across the street.

    Labor rates

    I wouldn't touch this model with a ten foot pole. There seems to be very little ethics involved and the business model appears to be to just build right on top of a wash that looks to be successful. Not to mention the cut throat pricing and all the free stuff. The canaries will stop coming out...

    It’s official!

    Before monkeying around with chemicals, be sure the water is soft.

    Credit card processing for IBA

    It may have changed, but when they first came out I installed the Dixmor display on all of my ACW 4-5s. IIRC, I had to clip off some kind of doohickey on the board and solder on a jumper wire. A jumper wire for sure. I could be thinking of something else on the clipping off part, but I don't...

    Credit card processing for IBA

    I wouldn't let that stop me. Send your controllers to X-Cel Electronics in Las Vegas. Dan is very reasonable on pricing and has fixed boards that anyone else would have replaced, costing hundreds of dollars more. I always made sure that mine were clearly labeled that they had been modified for...

    Doesn't the Cryptopay kit include a face plate?

    Our clueless president

    Trump was a booger eating moron regarding Covid, constantly contradicting and undermining the people that actually knew what they were talking about. I don't know how Biden figures in. This is a humanity issue, not a political one, so I'm not going to bicker about it. I voted for Trump twice...

    D&S makes truck washing equipment, probably Belanger too.

    Credit card Issues

    When I had that issue on my WashGear system, the stop button was shorted out, canceling the sale just after it was authorized. Customer tried multiple times, and got the pre-authorization hold every time. He was not happy...

    theft device used on Hamilton changers

    I’ve never seen a factory Hamilton with Mars. All of mine were Etowah conversions.

    theft device used on Hamilton changers

    I’m with you, Randy. I wonder what the hell he’s talking about too. It reminds me of the guy in Las Vegas that could trick the game plan hoppers with the light wand he invented.

    Short Bay friction wash options

    Greg, I don't know if you remember, but you were at one of my washes with me and we commented on how easy it was to talk over my 4 blower Peco dryers, mounted outside the building. I had Mark VII 2 blower onboards in the adjacent bays, which are a lot noisier. Maybe an echoing effect or...

    scan coin 303 or 313

    Would you care to elaborate as to why? CWG, you have to sort the larger coin first and reject the quarters. I used the 303/313s for decades and counted oodles of quarters.

    scan coin 303 or 313

    I've owned both. The 313 is a 303 with a large hopper on top. Everything under the hopper is exactly the same. If you move it from one wash to another, get the 303. If it is going to live in one place, the 313 is nicer.
