    Spot Free Help

    Thats the same one, but the newer ones dont hold up very well?? I have gone through a few of these lately. I take them apart and make sure the diaphragm is properly seated and I also now add some rtv sealer to keep everything in place, they are a "pita" to change. On the bypass setup on a...

    What are used Coleman vacs worth?

    I did 2 Coleman wash cleanouts and have refurbed 20 Coleman oval vacs. I would say I put between $$500-$1000 into each depending on the needs. Coleman makes a nice vac. with the large chamber and all the bags in the motors seem to last a lot longer then the old monorails and Adams vacs I had. As...

    Need replacement solenoid for JC Shampoo Vac

    You wont get it apart by turning the stem. After you take the coil off you will see 2 small holes in the ring around the stem, if you can a screwdriver or long ceter punch and hammer them in a counter clockwise direction that ring unscrews. Kleenrite has a rebuild kit for that. Its not simple...

    Change in quarters tokens or both?

    I have my 2221 set up as follows. Only dispense tokens dollar bills only on one side, also on that side has a cryptopay swiper, swipe is a $5 swipe for 6 tokens. Other side is 5's, 10's and 20's. Much easier for sorting and people use more larger bills for the bonus coin.

    Is this an oil separator?

    you can pour oil dry into the pit allow it time to absorb oil then it sinks to the bottom then you can clean out the pit. Also if it is not alot of oil, break up styrofoam into smallish pieces and throw it in there for a few hours then scoop them out, the oil is attracted to the styrofoam.

    Replace o-ring in Little Giant Shampoo motor?

    Every one I ever did, I left the pump head Or Volute #1 on the vac and just used the new motor and remaining pump parts. On the Coleman vacs every time I touch any of the hoses I spend hours trying to keep them from leaking.

    eGenuity Paystation?

    I have a new Unitec Portal Ti. I like the machine, but I would highly recommend "NOT BUYING UNITEC" their customer support is totally worthless. If your machine goes down you have to go online and make an appointment for them to call you back. If you are very lucky you might get a call back same...

Under 10 seconds, 30% maybe 20 seconds, 10% use the complete 45 second cycle. and the rest just dont pay attention! Also with standalone dryers I can start loading...

    Credit card to token conversion for Hamilton changer

    I have american changers and and put cryptopay swipers on them. I just put a relay in to send the pulses to the changer. I set it up as each swipe is $5 or 6 $1 value tokens. One location doesnt get much use, newer location is getting much more use as time goes and they learn about the bonus token.
