Does any one know of a coin token or card operated air vendor that does not have its own compressor. I see no need in having yet another compressor running when I have a massive compressor running the automatics. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You can buy them without a compressor. JE Adams sells them. You could also look for a used unit with a bad compressor or an old fragrance machine to refurbish. I have two of the latter, but I plan on making them air machines.

SW Indiana melon fields.
Another operator here (chaz), used an existing vacuum that was mounted near a wall on his building. He piped air to the vac, hung a hose there, and put a switch on the vac to toggle between air and vac. This used the existing vac controls, etc. instead of building/buying a whole new machine, plus getting vacuum price for air. I had the perfect spot for this setup, with a vac on the end wall of my building, but sold my washes before I got around to doing it. Who am I kidding? I was never going to do it.

That sounds like a lot of work for something that's not going to make a whole lot of money. I bought my air machine used for 40 bucks and Paid my electrician to wire it and mount it on the wall. Done.

I like the vacuum idea planning a vac station that is trailer accessible
