Not again!

It is official: this 5 way intersection in Wylam is way to confusing for people.  Another Stop sign was murdered.  Also, someone forgot their stereo (or they prefer a giant hole in there dash instead).

Purchased a used MEI off ebay.com and it actually worked!

I purchased a MEI Mars AE 2631 D7 off ebay.com and received a D5 but everything worked fine.

I called Mars to ask them the difference between model number D7 and D5.  The tech was very helpful and actually knew off the top of his head what the answer was.  The D7 part denotes the bill stacker count at 700 bills, D5 500 bills.  So games-people-play-and-more (the ebay seller) just did not give me the correct bill stacker but it was a really good deal at $160.

Vending machine makeover

I purchased a piece of Optix Acrylic Sheet .220 18 x 24 to replace my yellowing other piece, which cost around $22.  You have to unscrew about 15 screws on my Dilling & Harris Max-Vend II vending machine to remove the old sheet.  I used my Craftsman table saw that I fixed the other day to cut the sheet.  I purchased a little too thick of a piece so .220 will fit but smaller would have been more like the original sheet.  Also the measurements are 16 5/16 x .   Now it looks great.

Craftsman table saw – Again

I am starting to hate my Craftsman table saw (model number 137.218240).  I needed to use it to cut some stuff and it would not start again.  It was the switch again.

The first picture is the actual switch and the metal piece that completes the circuit.  The second picture is what pushes the switch, I love all the saw dust.
