If I remember correctly, I got the goldline buttons directly from Hamilton. The center of the button is blue and the ring that surrounds it is chrome.

A few years ago, I replaced my ACW4 buttons after a robbery attempt. At the suggestion of this Forum, I used the Hamilton buttons for their goldline models. They appear more sturdy then the originals.

I bought 4 and installed 2. First failure at 2.5 years and the second at almost 3. I won't be buying any more.

I've been using these(5) since I opened. I think I've had to replace only one once. https://www.amazon.com/Baomain-Cable-Float-Switch-Controller/dp/B01JRYRYQC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1538685921&sr=8-3&keywords=float+switch+for+water+tank

Last grinder pump I had to replace was $2,200 installed. It was a local and definitely not union labor.

Why don't you consult your income tax professional (CPA) before you pick a tax status for YOUR new business.

I finally got my USA Technology retrofit up and running with a lot of help especially from Randy Nix. Total cost was about $500 which is a far cry from the $6,500 Hamilton wanted.

I've got 2 Hamilton RNS changers dispensing $1 tokens which I would like to retrofit to take credit cards. I spoke to Hamilton and their only solution is to replace one of the RNS's with a $4,300 credit card to token machine which would require a $1,800 connector to their DAN system. I also...

A group of local owners teamed up to buy in bulk to get favorable pricing when Jim owned the company...now I just deal directly.

I've been with JBS since 1999.

I had my bill acceptor destroyed on my glass front vendor a few years ago. The coin acceptor was not touched and worked fine with quarters, nickels, dimes and $1 tokens. Since the vendor is only a few feet from the changers, I was in no hurry to replace the broken validator. I didn't even...

Is there a check valve in the water supply line to the pump? I've had a broken one of these try to starve my pump. Also try plugging the soap/wax port on the side of the pump and see if the problem goes away. It will narrow down where to look.

I have got to replace 2 of my 3 ten hp blower motors. I'm thinking of replacing the center motor with a 15 hp. The 10's never did a great job and am looking to do better since I have to make a change. Anyone have any advice as to weather adding the 15 would do any good?
