jim coleman parts

[waright]

any advice on where to buy aftermarket or oem parts for wash wizard automatics. Jim Coleman Co. has priced themselves out of reality. Photo eyes costing a few hundred each eye is crazy. Most proprietary parts can be replaced effectively by common aftermarket parts. For those of you who have done some research and have found some better alternatives, I'm asking for your help. I did find Buzzie8's thread about the tie rod ends, and do appreciate the good info found there. Thanks!

Send an email to rlittle7767@yahoo.com He claims to have all the sensors available at reasonable prices. Just a thought...Coleman could give away their equipment and still make a killing on parts and service...kind of like Polaroid.

www.mouser.com has a lot of the commonly-used photo eyes and prox sensors we all use. I paid $60 for a prox switch from Mouser for which D&S wanted $200.
