Hi I’ve got an American changer ac2221. I’m trying to get it back to life. The hopper boxes are filthy and so is the orange plastic chain. Is that chain something that should be replaced periodically to get the changer to work right or it doesn’t matter?

I’ve got 3 Ryko vacuums and 1 JE Adam’s I think. These need everything - vandalized and weathered - motors shot, no coin gear, no timers. One of the units is severely dented. $300 for 4 or best offer. I might have an extra dome. Thanks!

Does anyone have a stuffer tool they could lend or rent me?

Then I’m really stumped…there’s some I’ve seen where they are black plastic kind of with a broad flange that I figured might be more forgiving. But aside from that it doesn’t make sense

Did you find the ones with plastic spacers were easier to align? Or didn’t matter…?

At about 1:10 is when he’s taking apart the valve body. Not much care. Horizontally done - replicating the in service position. Total head scratcher here. Either I have defective / wrong seals & spacers from the plant, or they should be plastic upper spacers. Or Im dealing with ridiculously...

Thank you so much! I watched this service video which shows the 9000 series Fleck. It’s really good about detailing how the system works. What kills me is that the guy just pulls it apart and puts it together really fast with not much care. And he does it horizontally. what I wonder is...

Sorry meant to say they were installed in correct order.

Regrettably yes because then I’d have a simple if I did it wrong. No it’s in the correct order - I’ve taken it apart and reassembled enough that I could do it blindfolded. the question here is whether anyone has encountered “new” seals/spacers that came out of spec. That’s the only thing I...

Yes the pistons move - the thing leaks to drain during standby mode. The gears and wheel are in good shape.

Thanks for all the replies. Yes, all seals and spacers are new. Pistons are new. I’ve assembled it vertically on the bench. I was very careful to turn and center each piece as I assembled - done this multiple times. the guy in the service video was way less careful. That’s why I’m...

Hi all - I’ve got a water softener (fleck 9500) that keeps leaking to the drain. I’ve replaced pistons, seals, spacers. I’ve had it apart and put back together 3 times. Still leaks to drain. Yes the spacers and seals are in right order. I replaced the valve body casting. Still leaks to...

Does anyone have a spare channel that goes between the coin vault and the ground? It’s a stainless steel half round panel that covers the conduit and horn. See attached photo.

Let’s go guys - let’s find a way to get these people!

What kind of camera system do you use to pick up license plates in low light conditions? What locations do you mount the cameras (up high, eye level, license plate level?) keep getting midnight dumpers but camera location and quality p
