What is a….. *ORIGINAL* Replacement Sensor for Dixmor Weep Mizer (TI0100) $40.00

IMAG0121IMAG0126IMAG0129IMAG0130IMAG0132IMAG0142IMAG0158CaptureIMAG0145

  • 67WR20  Trimmer Resistors – Through Hole 3/8″ Squ 20 10%  DOC 3/8” Square Multiturn Cermet Trimming Potentiometer
  • LM234H (I believe?)  DOC TI LINK Temperature Sensor with Analog Current Source Output in TO-92    Update:  20151001  I am revising this to LM134H
  • Resistor…. 271 Ohms 2%  The last color is not really that important.  But the 3rd band might be Red?  I would need to check again.  🙂  Update:  20151001 I believe it is red, brown, brown.

Now I love Dixmor…. better then all other Car Wash companies combined. But their “Original” Sensor seems flawed?  I just happened to find 3-4 broken sensors today and I have been meaning to check them out.  Lets check out the pictures below.

So my hypothesis is…. In the “Original” design the temp sensor is exposed to the elements (The cap portion).  Moisture has to rust and corrode this part (mine has rust on it) and pretty much all the solder joints of the board (mine are all corroded it seems).  Even though the rest of the sensor is encapsulated with epoxy or something annoying?  I believe…. that the temperature sensor should be encapsulated also…. then maybe the sensor would be a better design?  As designed I believe this is terrible to be honest…. It “seems” like I am purchasing one every other year.  But I know that has to be an exaggeration!  LOL 🙂  Update:  20151001  I do have 2 washes and I am in the south.

Direct LOL…. Mark VII :)

“Direct drives run smoother and quieter than belts and pulleys while eliminating the maintenance headache of having to regularly adjust them.”

This is funny….  this is implying less maintenance.

But belt driven systems last longer in a high usage application.  The belt system produces less vibration and heat because the direct systems run at a higher rpm.

Also…. are you really suppose to adjust your belts and pulleys “regularly”…. like within the last 10-20 years of the equipment’s life?  LOL 🙂  I honestly do not know!  🙂  Plus what does “regularly adjust them” mean?  every 20-30 years?  Again I do not know?  Thanks let me know cwguy!  🙂

One last thought…. doesn’t the sound come from the hp pump not the motor?  Or is it the belt making all the noise?  Plus I would think a motor running at higher rpms would be louder?  But I do not know!

GinSan Gin San Timer Vacuum Vending Meter Box GS-8 Car Wash

P4184283P4184287P4184289P4184290P4184284P4184286P4184285

I have a collect of pictures…. of equipment.  The link is located at the top of the page.  It is called “Product Id Page“…. not sure why?  🙂

24v AC Accumulating Timer  http://www.ginsan.com/techspecsA/07%20tab%207/tg-278.pdf

GS-7, GS-8, GS-75, GS-85, GS87 and GS-255 are all the same except the GS-87 and GS-255 can accept tokens.  Or Ginsan has the worse Technical Sheet ever?  Could go either way.  🙂

The GS-8, GS-85, GS-87 and GS-255 have re-settable 4 digit coin counters.

The GS-8, GS-85, GS-87 and GS-255 also have a “Eveready” Not “Duracell” battery so if the power goes off while a customer is putting money in.  Which happens ALL the time!  🙂

Car Wash Equipment – Hamilton Autec Auto Cashier

acw03acw04acw03acw04acw05

This unit is just to demonstrate what an Autec unit looks like.  A unit that “pops its breaker if” you plug in the coin hopper…. basically means the coin hopper is probably screwed?  LOL  🙂  So between the broken coin hopper and the “unsure” (broken) cash acceptor…. what is left?  The controller and box?  🙂

Car Wash Equipment – Hamilton ACW-5 Auto Cashier

acw01acw02acw01acw04

While I honestly believe an ACW 5 with a credit card computer is worth $3000.  This is stupid…. but since the acw has a new faceplate someone will purchase it.  People are stupid and want nice looking over priced items.  🙂  I will never understand cheap car wash owner…. ever.  Plus this unit is missing a $1500-2000 Hamilton computer.  Shiny pretty pos for sure!

VETO PRO PAC CT-XL Large Cargo Tote

Well my Bucket Boss GateMouth Jr. Tool Bag started to rip and more importantly….  I was loading it with to many tool.  (Maybe this was the reason for the ripping?  🙂 )  So I started looking for a replacement bag.  I was looking at a Klein Tools canvas bag…. But I didn’t like the “moisture-resistant” wording used.  So I am going to use this as my tool bag temporarily.

The VETO PRO PAC CT-XL Large Cargo Tote

05060407080901031002

But I am also planing on purchasing the Veto Pro Pac Tech XL or the Veto Pro Pac TECH-LC Tool Bag? For my actual “tool bag”…. Then use this beach bag for large crap.  I could not decide which tech bag…. That is why I only have the cargo bag now.  Tell me what you use!  It is a lot of trouble trying to purchase a bag!  Now I know how Women feel!  JUST KIDDING!  LOL!  I have no clue what their issues are?  🙂  Maybe if all Women had to purchase this bag they would never have to get another one?  🙂

BTW I never really cared for the bucketboss tool bag…..  when you loaded it with some tools you really could never zip it unless you were very determined.  So the bag always stayed open…. which allow crap to fall out.

I also support China like our US government and Veto…. but apparently Veto bags use to be made in the USA?

VETO PRO PAC CT-XL Large Cargo Tote – Full of crap

010203

This is what I had in my Bucket Boss GateMouth Jr. Tool Bag…..  also showing the wear damage.  I also tried zipping the bag with nothing in it and I think the hinges are the problem maybe?

04050607

This is my VETO PRO PAC CT-XL Large Cargo Tote loaded up….  note I left the tag on.  I also leave my tags on all my hats, shirts and pants!  Yes of course I do not wash my clothing!  I have to keep the stickers and tags looking fly!  (When I use to wear baseball hats….  I thought I washed them?  Fitted hats start to stink…. I thought?  🙂 )

Also let me know what tool bag you use before I purchase another China bag.

So 2 fragrances and 2 shampoos.

15726983232_edac10346e_k

Must purchase all three Fragramatics vacuums…. It’s a lot.  🙂  If I remember correctly one pops it’s fuse?  Sold as is….. No testing or I would just rehab them and sell them for more?  🙂  $1,750 or best offer if the offer is $10 less. 🙂 Yes they need stickers…. My eyes work with glasses! 🙂

If you are actually interested.  🙂  Here is a LINK to more PICTURES

UPDATE 20150601:  These are actually sold…. this was a super deal guys!  Only one guy wanted them also?  🙂   (Besides some cheap scrap price guy who also wanted free shipping?  You know shipping is really cheap if you pick it up at their terminal?  Less then $200 for this.)  If I did not have over 15 vacs to sell…. I would have purchased these for parts and been super happy.  Each person is obviously different…. what happens when something happens to your vacs?  Retail?  You can not make an insurance claim!  Yes these also needed work….  Everyone needs work!  LOL  🙂
