    The Pyramid Money Handling Option for ShurVend

    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

    Vendor Should be on a Separate Circuit

    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...

    WCA Show at Bally's in Las Vegas, September 22-24, 2008

    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...

    Vending Blog #10--Hi-Security Vendor Packages For Peace of Mind

    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...

    Vending Blog #10--Hi-Security Vendor Packages For Peace of Mind

    Recently a long time customer?s unsecured vendor got clobbered after experiencing very little vandalism/theft for a number of years.

    New Power Cord Access Hole Designed into Cage

    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...

    Vending Blog #8--City Hall Becomes THE Problem, Not Part of the Solution

    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

    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...

    Vending Blog #8--City Hall Becomes THE Problem, Not Part of the Solution

    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...

    Vending Blog #8--City Hall Becomes THE Problem, Not Part of the Solution

    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...

    Trickle Down Price Increases; More like a Torrent!

    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...
