I've got an old Laserdri free standing dryer and the motor that oscillates the nozzles has gone out. Any ideas on what I can replace it with?

Some folks have mentioned the belt breaking on the WW Profile top brush. I had a belt break a year or so back. Thankfully it was before the brush was over the car, so no damage to the vehicle. My belt broke at the bottom where it attaches to the motor/top brush shaft. I made a safety strap to...

I converted two goldlines to cryptopay about 2 years ago. On our old machine we still use the keypad if a customer has a problem. Our newer machine can be triggered remotely. Only issue I've had was one of the goldlines was not registering all of the pulses from the swiper. The problem was a...

This guy comes through my Profile once or twice a week. Makes me nervous.

On the slugbusters, I was having frequent jams caused by various coins. My acceptors were 16 years old and I suspected that the plastic coins chutes were quite worn. Over a period of a couple weeks I sent them all in to be refurbished and have not had a jam since. Cost was minimal and I had...

I have installed the PV6H240SS-331 on one swiper. It's been in the bay for a couple of months without an issue.

I have had a similar issue with Cryptopay on a Goldline. I have witnessed it showing a 25 cent credit and charging the card the full amount of the wash. I double checked the wiring and talked to Cryptopay. I did not get anything definitive from Cryptopay, but they did a software update and...

When we added a Profile, we had about 16 feet of split face block that became part of the new bay. I thought about floating the wall with a mortar scratch coat, but decided to try the easy way. All together I think I had to grind off 5 or 6 high spots to either mount brackets for the machine...

In other threads some folks had mentioned that it would be nice to have buttons with red lights for swipers used in count up. The Mouser # for the red buttons is 612-PV6H240SS-311. I ordered a few, but have not installed them yet.

I've experienced the same issue with a Mark VII setup. We finally determined that the o-rings/rubber seals on one of the unloaders were allowing weep water to flow backwards through the pump and back into the tank. If you pull the "stem" out of the unloader it should be easy to see if the...

MEP, do you know the part # for the OEM kit that you mentioned in this thread? I called Hamilton a while back and asked them about a kit like this. They referred me to my equipment provider and distributor, Mark VII. I wasn't happy with the price. I would like to stick with Hamilton on this...

If one of the diaphrams has a hole in it you should get a leak out of the weep hole that is on the back side of the diaphram. The diaphrams in mine are laminated with a chemical resistant material on the wet side. I suppose it is possible for the lamination to come apart and affect the...

I recently replaced an Oberdorfer pump for the presoak on my Mark VII to the tune of $600. I would like to rebuild the old one and keep for a spare. Does anyone have a good idea on where to buy a kit? According to my distributor Mark VII doesn't offer a rebuild kit and the pump is made for...

If the autocashier and entrance to the automatic are going to be on the north side of the bay and if I am looking at things right, won't it be a little akward or difficult to get pulled into the bay if you turn in off of 23rd? It is best if the customers are turning left as they pull to the...

I would check the plugs/ pin connectors that run in and out of the lighting control box. I have had a few problems with these on my machine. On one occasion one of the connectors came loose on it's own. On another occasion I broke some of the wires inside of the plug when applying dielectric...

I'm 3 min 12 sec for $1 and 5,6,7,8 for the auto. If I recall correctly from previous posts my wash is in the same part of the country as Ghetto Wash. I've been debating increasing the self serve to 2 min 48 sec for $1, but can't decide if I want to wait until I get in bay credit card...

At the wash we have a Hamilton DAN for the credit card processing and the DVR is from Rugged CCTV. At the house I have a laptop with an air card. We live off of the beaten path so I didn't install a phone line at the house when we built. I like MEP's idea, but don't like the idea of leaving the...

To maintain my PCI compliance I am not allowed to have any holes in the firewall of my router. One option is that I only allow outside access to my network by specific IP addresses but this doesn't help since IPhones apparently have dynamic IP addresses. The only options I have come up with is...

I had a similar issue a year or so ago. Mine turned out to be the pump itself. For whatever reason it would pump at 190 or 200 psi for a day or two then at 60 or 70 psi. This gradually got worse to where the pressure never got over 60 psi. After replacing the membrane and checking the...

I followed Randy's advice on this and the validator hasn't missed a beat in over four months. I'm probably jinxing myself by saying that, but thought that I would pass it along for others that might have the same issues. There was no visible problems with the plug, but a little contact cleaner...
