    Carolina Pride Mercury Payment System Timers - FREE

    Weve recently switched our timers from Mercury Payment System to Dixmoor 6 LED along with CryptoPay Tap Plus units. I have about 10 timers that I hate to throw out if someone is still using that system and would like them. You only have to pay for the shipping.

    About a year ago I posted a complaint about the ShallCo 10 position / 2 stack rotary switches. They were only lasting about 6 months, and were seizing up. ShallCo was very good about replacing them under their 1yr warranty, but I asked what other operators were using. Most commented that...
