    Rusting Medeco plug lock housings

    That look a lot older than a year old. I don't think Medeco lock housing on my coin vault heads look that bad. It looks like the plating process failed at some point. I some years ago that were made brass and then plated.

    Looking at buying local car wash

    Ok here’s my take on the car wash. $80K isn’t a lot of money. If you truly want to get into the car wash business buy it. This is what I would do. Clean to place up and I mean spit shine everything, new decals, new signs, new face plate on the ACW, new buttons on the ACW, Cryptopay Tap on the...

    Newbie wanting to buy and mix my own soap. Please help.

    We use JBS PC-100 Fonic wash, it has a fresh and clean scent but once it's mixed you can't really smell it, it's a pure white foam product. I've asked my customers if it mattered if the soap was colored or had a scent to it and almost everyone said they didn't care.

    A little help needed…

    Turn off the air to your presoak system and then turn each one at a time and look for bubbles coming back into your presoak tank. I'll bet you have a bad check valve out in the bay where the air meets up with the presoak junction. Or go out in the bay with a ladder and disconnect the air where...

    Hamilton DRS Change Machine Help

    How old is this Hopper? How did you clear the coin jam? If it's dispensing more coins than it should you've got a problem with the Payout switch or with the brake on the back of the motor.

    HAMILTON BILL ACCEPTOR NEEDS SERVICE

    What model Hamilton validator will Hamilton not fix for you? If it's a HVX or a STA your out of luck, parts are no longer available. My suggestion would be to go to a Mars validator if your not using Token notes.

    Vibrating and no pressure wash.

    Unbolt the pump, remove it and inspect the love joy connector, it's what ties the motor to the pump shaft if it breaks the motor will just run like your motor is doing. It looks like this https://www.kleen-ritecorp.com/p-8629-lovejoy-l095-1-1-8-24mm-flex-coupling-1-1-8in-x-24mm.aspx
