Oven cleaner?

In the mid 90s to early 00s many were built in marginal locations and were doomed to failure. So, in a sense, many are dying and perpetuates the impression that SS as a whole is dying. I see that same thing happening with express washes. I wonder how many of their carcasses will dot the...

I had a friend that put a furnace in the equipment room and ducted it out to the bays. He told me that he paid about $1200 for stainless ductwork. I said “Couldn’t you have used 8-10” PVC pipe?”. On his next project, he did just that. I don’t think he ever regretted it for a second.

I’ve twice been a victim of accessing the harness through the hole. Neither attempt was successful, because I already knew about it from being on the forum. I had the wires firmly secured inside. On one attempt they had such a good hold on the wires they actually pulled one it two. That’s why I...

The crooks knock the light out and fish the harness out the hole to jackpot the hopper. Whether they succeed or not is irrelevant because they still mangle the harness. The light does not need to be there for the customer. They are as likely to pay attention to it as they do an instruction sign...

Put the “Out of service” light inside the equipment room. You are the only one that really needs to see it. There is a way for crooks to use it to their advantage. No need to give them that avenue.

I’ve done the “nail” thing and gotten them out as well.

It’s a programming setting in the controller. Or, you could just take one of the wires off.

Water hardness???

I saw an 18 year old thread revived a few days ago. Not on this forum though.

I agree...

Scary, isn't it? One of the suppliers listed the numbers that they carried. At one time or another, I had had over half of those numbers. I could buy one of each lock and have keys to many car washes, maybe even yours.

In my experience, it's pretty much standard procedure to not be able to get a key made if it is not assigned to you, regardless of the fact that you already have a key and/or the tag. J.E. Adams not releasing it to you seems like a dick move though. I started buying all my locks from Ra-Lock...

The best way to get HP soap to clean is to run it through a foam brush. Seriously though, HP soap is just show and I doubt the soap itself does much cleaning. Find something that smells the way you want and mix it so it makes lots of foam.

Waxman, when you price your used cars, do you set your price by what you paid for it, or what it's worth?

This is the guy near Dyna-Jet that does heads. His can fix anything but a broken heart or the crack of dawn.

Earl, Chip sold me a couple of three column electronics. If you had been around in the olden days of the forum, you would appreciate how epic of an accomplishment that was.

Most of the top players have good stuff. How close is the distributor? They can make or break you. Narrow it down to the ones you would be willing to pay drive time from.

Keep in mind that it requires 24V, not 120V.

I would think that the main reason that he isn't getting much help, is because it is virtually never done. As a grizzled old vet, I wouldn't even entertain the thought of doing it. Him being a rookie...that scares me and I ain't scared of nuthin...
