Does anyone have an idea what type of equipment this is? Someone went out of there way to remove any equipment information.
Was hoping to get that info in order to find a manual online

I don't think it's Mark VII simply because there are no mystery black box controllers that only the engineers knew what they did. Although the bays were modular like that.

Whoever made it I bet a manual is not available.

It looks easy enough for a decent tech to figure out what it going on.

It's got a stainless pump stand so that's good. I'd be tempted to rip most of that stuff out and install new low pressure systems from air logic or etowah valley, or a DIY system using low pressure manifolds.
 
I have to agree with Greg, it’s not a Mark VII system or a Monorail. I’ve seen it before, years ago. I think it was from one of those long obscure equipment manufactures that went out of business years ago. I can almost guarantee you that there isn’t any kind of manual for it now. It shouldn’t be to hard to figure out, it looks pretty straight forward.
I would get rid of the electric Flo-Jet pump and groom up the hoses and wiring.

Magic Wand made similar looking equipment. It could have been them. Try contacting Istobal as Istobal absorbed them.
From what I heard, the CEO of Magic Wand works there as well so you should be able to obtain them. They gave me the whole "we dont have them" runaround then when I asked to make sure they magically had them.
I'm not 100% sure on this though, I'm just speculating though, so keep that in mind.

Istobal does not have any manuals on this particular equipment, as the pictured equipment was never made by Magic Wand. CEO of Magic Wand does not work for Istobal and to my knowledge never has. There is probably a hand full of former Magic Wand employees that still work for Istobal.
 
After a closer look based on frame makeup and components used Try Windtrax in KC . That is very similar to what they used to build 20 years ago.

I'm just assuming he did at one point as he appeared on the employee directory.

I still have Windtrax self service units in use, and they are different than those. Age of oldest is from 1990. I don't think they changed them that much, although you may be correct. Fondly remember Marvin, the owner, and Rick, the guy who designed their wash.
 
If you look at the Decal "MASTER CONTROLS" in Black and Yellow along with the Zero pressure regular , that is why I would say Windtrax. However, it could be AOK.
