I’m probably gonna start standardising everything with the industry standard parts, as my Vacuum uses a mechanical coin acceptor that accepts tokens only that are a specific size and shape while the Wash uses a locally made and manufactured coin mechanism with a built-in timer and the shampoo...

Hey guys, I have a large swath of MicroCoin QL acceptors that I picked up a couple days ago From Car washes that went fully cashless and I recently also had picked up 1 (one) VAL361 single channel credit accumulator board, I currently don’t have a timer to test it on but I do have a 24 V AC...

This is one for the Aussies, anybody remember the manufacturer Colmar international? I’m trying to find some more information on them and the different upholstery cleaners they sold, I’ve seen three different examples, the X2 XStream(original), X2 .1 (updated version),and Ultra steam & Clean...

And oh wow, that is a really neat upgrade , it looks clean , it’s simple, and it works, it’ll probably be something that I will probably end up doing

oh no, that doesn’t have two timers, it just has the one I was using the other timer as a size reference that way you guys can get a rough sense of scale of the size of it

Yeah, that ginsan timer definitely belongs in a museum, and hopefully it it’s just that one particular component has even though the timer in the Vacuum is probably coming up 20 years old. If I could just replace the components that need to be replaced because the battery still works fine that...

nope, that’s actually AC as I did try the contactor directly to the transformer and it works completely fine, I’ll probably have to test the timer over the coming days out of the Vacuum just using a small 24 V transformer, and plus looking at the back of it I think I might’ve already found the...

Oh, I’m actually from Canberra And yes, The voltage is 24 V What looks to be a “18 V terminal” is more likely the 400 V terminal from The transformer primary side as it’s a dual voltage transformer Dan, that Vacuum is Italian made by the Ceccato company in the early 2000s The blue and grey...

Hey guys, it seems like my Vacuum timer died today As The Motor contactor is buzzing (it’s an 24v ac contactor so something going wrong with The timer itself) what would cause the contactor to behave like this? Could not attachVideo here as website says it’s too large

Do you think it might be Sherman?

I’ll try giving them a call, although it’ll probably have to be an expensive one as I am located in Australia

Hey guys, I’ve got an old piece of equipment that I want to put a new coin slide on, I have tried an ESD coin slide, but due to the metal cutouts on the inside of the coin box, it doesn’t physically fit, it used to use a single comet token slide but That was long gone, I’m hoping that someone...

Forgot to add this photo, which also shows the tongue that holds the central bolt in place when inserting it

Hey guys, I’m gonna be picking up a laundry extractor for personal use, does anybody have any tips and tricks on how to repair and maintain them? yes, you can say that they are a deathtrap here, criticisms and comments are welcome This is actually my second extractor, the first one that I...
