Count me in. 5999 Misty Lane Rye, CO 81069

I have a complete working ACW 4, that I'll make you a great deal on. No credit card or key board though. Extra new face plate and some decals. Email me if you have an interest.

Surgical Tubing Look for a surgical supply store. They will have silicone surgical tubing available. Make sure that you match up the diameter exactly, including wall thickness and inside diameter. Once you find a proper match you can get a larger quantity. It has a long shelf life. $.50 per ft...

Foam Protector While I don't own a Ryko I do have a machine with an inverted L and foam protector. You might try a visit to Lowes or Home Depot and buy two pre-slit and sticky tape ready pipe insulators of appropriate diameter, and place each one over the respective tube and align them so that...

Time Master Failure I have had a number of Time Master timers over the years, and I have to agree with Randy that a better replacement is the Dixmore. However before you trash your Time Master it might be worth a little effort to resurrect it. Remove it from the container box and scrub the...

For Randy The Sig's a little too heavy for my small frame. I prefer the Colt pocket 9. All stainless, semi auto. Last model made before they closed up shop. It's perfect when you have a CC permit.

I use an old opener to hoist my extension ladder to the ceiling for storage. I have hooks at one end of the equipment room that I hook the end ladder rung on, and a chain and pulley that the opener draws up and down to lift the other end of the ladder up to the ceiling. This allows me to store a...

Hopper short and long change I too have had this problem and found this issue. If its a 1005 changer you may find that the hopper is gradually changing position on its base and the coins are coming out properly but not making it to the coin tray on the outside. Frequently they will land on the...

Repair or replacement for foam brush holders I used to have those type holders until the deterioration became too much. Here in CO the sun plays a strong role. I tried using old conveyor belt that I fabricated to fit the holder and pop riveted in. It worked fine and lasted quite awhile. I...

correct tubing for peristaltic pump I believe that you will actually need silicone rubber tubing and not natural rubber or plastic. The tubing diameter is also critical since the pinch rollers are designed for a specific, "squish" distance. My best source locally in Colorado was a medical...

Aside from the durability question mentioned in the prior posts, (the issue is perhaps arguable), the main benefit as I see it to film type push buttons or mechanical is that you don't cycle through all of the other products by rotating through them as in a rotary switch. This saves on motor...

I heat the water as it is getting drawn into the soap booster pump. The injectors for the respective soap are then opened and soap is introduced to the hot water stream and then applied to the car through the manifold. The pump never touches the soap mixture. I use an on demand heater that has...

You get what you pay for. It shouldn't take too long to see where this is going. Buzzie has already discovered that the items compared to HPH are of a weaker alkalinity. Next step is to use the same titration kit to compare all contenders. Then compare for same alkalinity on the car and viola...

Those fins are actually pretty stout unless heavily corroded. Try a stiff nylon bristle brush in a small area I think you will find that you can proceed with vigor. You might try contacting Huron Valley Sales. They are big RayPak dealers and might even have the ability to email you with an...

Miserable job This is a horrendous job. Probably ranks right up there with cleaning vacuums. Fortunately this one doesn't need to be done that often. I have cleaned standard type boilers, Weben Jarco with a long handled tire scrubbing brush with nylon bristles and in conjunction used high...
