I had this one time and my tech fixed it by adjusting the speed of the machine (vf drive). It never made sense to me....but it fixed it.

I bought one from ebay and got a great deal. Softgloss with 37k washes.....$12000

Well after 11 mostly enjoyable and profitable years I sold my wash on Friday. We opened it as a retirement plan for my dad and it was perfect. After he got sick it was more than I could keep up with. Now it's going to serve the same purpose for the new owners and I have no doubt that they will...

I guess it's more of a Mars error. I'll try to get somebody there.

My Vendmaster is giving me an error "accept gate error". It has a MEI series 4000 changer in it. The booklet that I have does not tell you what to do for this error. It will take bills but not coins. Anybody know what I should do? Unplugging doesn't work.Thanks

You can depreciate goodwill just over a longer period of time. 15 years. That recapture doesn't work for me. The name would be the same as goodwill I would think.

If I sell my wash with a specific charge for the name and goodwill they will both be taxed as a long term capital gain won't they?

I did it last night. I just used 4 of those straps that you use to put on the new softgloss pieces. Knock on wood looks great today. We had had lines for days now. It's been fun!

Hey Dirt do you still have those pictures? I have one I need to do today and I didn't save it! Thanks

Diamond have you looked at the replacement pieces from Astromatic or Sonny's that you just screw on? Fills in the worn places, mostly on the bottom for a few hundred bucks.

If you have a successful wash in a small town word will get around really quickly, at least it did here. I tried to even keep it quiet that I would consider selling mine but a small town is a small town. I've been contacted by a number of eligible buyers and have one in the loan process now. I'd...

I added a new auto a few months ago and installed Wyndstar doors. After 10 years of air doors I have to say that I love these things. We had a few snafus with over-cycling at first that were a pain in the butt but my installer, along with Wyndstar tech support figured out the problem and...

I'm going to close on Monday and Tuesday since I had some freezing at 18 degrees. I'm thinking of removing to tips to help the weep flow. Does that make sense?

I did what I thought was the exact same thing about 5 times and finally got the hang of it. I never did find the fine tuning screws but I did get the doors right after a fair amount of tinkering. I think your problem has to be in the cams.

I've been jacking around with the cams on mine today too. Mine were going too far down and not up far enough. The more I fixed it the worse it got. If you figure it out tell us what you did. Wish I could help.
