    Cryptopay upgrade for Hamilton ACW 4/5

    I don’t remember for sure, but if “Top of the line” and “Whole 9 yards” are in there, they are probably custom. It’s just so hard to program, I didn’t feel the juice was worth the squeeze.

    Bumping to top, since it didn't display when it was originally posted.

    Vegas!!! Hopefully a few of you will remember me.

    I'm planning to go, for no other reason than to visit. Enjoying my new role as Pop-Pop.

    Is there a way to block certain credit cards on Cryptopay?

    I would set the maximum to a random amount, like $14.83 or something. It won’t stand out so much and they may think they actually used it that much.

    Proper Gauge wire for 3 motor vacs

    Can it do that using #12 wire?

    Proper Gauge wire for 3 motor vacs

    Jim Gosnell told me several years ago that he devised something for this scenario. IIRC, two of the motors start and get up to speed, shut off momentarily as the third starts, then restarts the others while they are coasting, keeping the amp draw at less than 20A. I'm thinking all of this...

    Credit Card System - In-bay or on bill changer

    Go with the LED-6 Dixmor. It is a direct replacement for the TimeMaster. The LED-7 is shaped differently and would require modification to make it fit. Also, don't consider the CC to token changer. I installed them at three washes and was never satisfied with the amount of use they got.

    Post here when you sell.

    That’s correct. Just camouflage your number like MEP showed. Also, it prevents frequent bumping of ads back to the top of the list.

    Express Tunnel

    I know that they use it for marketing, and think it is a big deal, but in all reality I don’t think anyone gives two squirts about how they cooked it. I know I don’t.

    Express Tunnel

    Burger King doesn’t buy burgers. I agree that virtually no one cares what journey their burger takes getting there. If BK had a marketing department, they probably wouldn’t be using that creepy monster as their mascot.

    Peeling Paint in the Bays

    There are several ways you can go, regarding painting wash bays. The problem is that none of them work. We had the best results with latex epoxy on unpainted brick. Painting over existing crappy paint…you’re just chasing your tail.

    Is this swivel broken?

    OMG, that was painful to see what he was working with. I'm glad someone else mentioned it, because I'm too nice...

    Quarters rolling through directly to the reject slot.

    I believe you would need the Slugbuster III. Unless they've made some changes, the Slugbuster II can't distinguish dollars from quarters.

    Quarters rolling through directly to the reject slot.

    Yep, what Randy said. My experience was if they worked after reprogramming, they usually didn't stay working and I was back on the merry-go-round a couple weeks later. Don't waste a huge amount of time on them. I think you would be pleased after switching to either of the brands he mentioned.

    JBS vs. Blendco

    If you're touchless, you'll never get anything clean with water that hard.

    What is your water hardness?

    Changing over to tokens?

    I switched to dollar coins when my price was $1.50. It wasn't a huge deal, but some were irritated at the extra 50¢ if they didn't have quarters. I explained that they would get $2 worth of time with 2 dollar coins. Most were ok, but some wanted me to break one down to quarters. I soon learned...
