Da nerve of some people! On occasion I have to run off a detailer trying to set up shop at one of my locations. One time there was a guy that insisted he was spending money on water in my bay so I couldn't stop him. I had to threaten to call the law and have him physically removed. There are...

RIP BUD Nolan

Prayers to you Bud. Nolan

My two cents on providing video..... I don't provide video to anybody but law enforcement officers, which I have done on many occasions. The reason I wouldn't supply it to an insurance company is because they are always trying to figure out a way to NOT pay a claim. I've seen it happen to people...

Instant fix..... get rid of the trash cans. FACT: A large percentage of the trash that gets put in the cans comes from people that never spent a quarter at your business. FACT: Another percentage of people think that if they wash their car at your place every now and then, that gives them the...

I had an intermittent issue like this on one side of my American Changer some years back. It was the push-in connections on the door board at the top left corner. (your middle photo) Take a tiny jewelers screwdriver and work them out and back in until the insulation on the wire is not...

I always have had these dirt thieves and dumpster divers on video but never called the law on them because they were so pathetic. Most are homeless drug addicts. I think to myself of how pathetic it was for them to get themselves down to that level of survival on drugs. Some have cars and are...

Ahh, I see, says the blind man. Not weird any more. I tested it this morning and its working fine. I forgot to get a spare coupon that I have stashed at another location. Gonna make sure its set up harness enable. Also get a battery for that UPS. Thanks Bud

Hey Greg, Thanks, I'm gonna check that. It should be okay because as received from Etowah, they plug the harness in and run a bead of silicone on both sides of the connector to keep it plugged in. I found it weird, but maybe they've had the same issues as you.

Thanks Bud, We in fact had some bad weather yesterday that caused some blink outages in that area, now that you mentioned it. Also, I think I have a spare UPS that just needs a new battery.

Thanks Randy, I was hoping you would see this. I have blank coupons from one that I put in an American changer. I can re-program it. The one I got from Etowah for the Hamilton machine was pre-programmed by them. Can you tell me which pulse width?(gaming short-gaming long-vending short-vending...

I quit wasting money on padlocks because they kept cutting mine. I made the mistake of putting the super duty locks on once, when they couldn't cut them they destroyed the latch and door to get in. Now I just put a ty-rap instead of a lock and let them have it. Some actually close the door after...

I recently did a CPI Talos retrofit on my Hamilton ER60 changer. Has been working flawlessly. Today I found that someone had put a Kleenex tissue in the bill slot to let me know something was wrong. The validator had a normal flashing light indicating nothing was wrong. The Hamilton controller...

Hey Kim, Thanks for the reply. I never really gave the floss sticks alot of thought until I read it here.

Thanks for the reply Dan. That's probably the case. I find bent paperclips and floss sticks around my vacuums all the time. All my vacuum coinmech's have a cover to keep that from happening. I suppose between the internet and PawPaws passing it down through sons and grandsons and great...
