    Ryko Problem

    I'm on the road with a Ryko tech, and I read him your post. He said to check the bay switch. Make sure input 24 or 25 is not staying on. 24 is the bay switch, and 25 is the backup air switch. Good luck!

    Wow. A 5 million $ wash goes belly up.

    Boogie, you sound a little grumpy this morning. Most wash sales people will tell you that the worst time to be in your customer's face is on a Monday morning (or the morning after a holiday). Most good sales people that I know use the first day of the week as an office day to take care of the...

    Sonny vs. MacNeil mini tunnel

    I've always been impressed with the RS-701 wraps and the way the double fold can be programmed with your computer. I've also been impressed with how well the MacNeil equipment ages under heavy volume.
