I recently had a acw4 hopper damaged beyond replacement and was wondering if anyone knew anywhere that might have used or rebuilt ones for sale? Otherwise I guess I have to buy a new one.

I currently have mars 2612 validators in all of my self serve bays. Unfortunately I need to get a few more as some of them are beyond repair.

Putting in a new pump tomorrow on my laser wash and have a oil question. I usually use 30w nd for my self serve pumps but when I looked on the gp pump oils specs it said to use gp 8090 oil. From what I can tell this is not the same as 30 w nd. Can anybody explain to me what oil I should be using...

I have a older dilling harris self-serve system from like 89'. My circuit breaker for one bay continued to to trip almost daily. So after some problem solving I determined it was my motor starter. I went to Grainger and bought a replacement and now every time I go to a high pressure function at...

I recently talked to the guys over at Cryto Pay about their new credit card systems. It seem like a really good option. Unfortunately for me they do not offer anything yet to replace the hamilton acw4 credit card system. That got me thinking if I could somehow make it work for my hamilton...

Just installed my new etowah valley self serve bay vaults. Needless to say they are pretty great. All the little things Jim adds to the vault really give it a nice touch and you can tell he builds them with an operator in mind. Things are just so accessible to fix. But on to the problem. I...

Getting ready to paint my vacuum islands again. They never seem to hold up to well with people always beating their mats on them. I was looking into options other then paint, but I haven't been able to find one. Tried the idea of putting an epoxy finish like I have in my garage but they say it...

Just got back from the Florida Keys and can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong with this transformer hook up. It's for my RO pump and every time I replace the fuse it blows. I know its something stupid that I am missing and help would be appreciated. I guess I am still stuck on vacation...

Been using the Watt's pressure regulators for my low pressure functions recently and haven't been to thrilled about their life span. The knobs seem to freeze and I have to replace them usually within a year in order to adjust the air or product pressure. Anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks to the local sheriffs department finally caught this guy who was robbing some of my washes. Turns out the guy started with me and moved on to break into 7 locations that are known at this time a total of at least 20 times. Luckily the Sheriff department put it on the news and a deputy...

Was robbed the other night. The guy ripped my rowe changer out of my equipment room wall. I was looking to see what everyone's reviews are on changers. I'm looking for the best manufacturer and model. Been fairly happy with the rowes but I have to buy a kit to convert them to Mars validator. I...

I hooked up a brand new ginasan 403 120 volt timer to my vacuum. The vacuum starts fine and I have all the setting correct and it will not turn off in the 2 minutes I set it to. Could it be a sorted common? I am kinda lost her and ideas as to why it doesn't turn off...

I was looking for an suggestions you guys might have for retrofiting my self-serve doors. I was broken into last night and the thief got off with a few hundred dollars which was my fault for not pulling the bills daily. I know he will be back sooner or later since he got a decent amount of...

I am having a problem converting my vac timers from a ginsan to a paraplate timer. I have power when I test the wires and yet the light won't light up on the coin acceptor and it doesnt accept coins. I am pretty sure I am not hooking up the wires right. I could not figure out how to upload a...
