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.
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.
I have never had a problem with my MEI coin acceptor, but it is terrible trying to clear the jam from the bottom chute. Of course I probably was not doing it right but that is another post. (The coin catcher was not full but I wish that was the problem.)
I finished filling the hole, but it still looks terrible with all the cracks around it. I really am not sure if I can fix this problem. Any suggestions?
I pressure washed again today and almost finished. I also decided to fill in this hole with some QPR where a meteoroid hit my lot. I guess I need more bags of QPR.
I had a small RO water leak today, fun!
After talking to Tom Kozlik from Rowe International he recommended Bsca’s Changer Service & Sales. They seem very knowledgeable and Jeff is a great guy. But Jeff seems to be having a problems with the Rowe tech.
I have a Rowe C-10RL that I want to install a Coinco in. The Coinco is a MAG50 24 volt and my Rowe CCC should support any MDB it is a 45085902. If anyone has gotten this to work please let me know?
Rowe sent me the incorrect wire harnesses. These are the harnesses that I am suppose to plug into the Coinco. (45108203, 45108204) Not really sure what bill acceptor these are really for?
Someone stole my foam brush and my security system was so slow that I quit looking.
Someone called me and said he lost $0.75 in the vacuum. Then, after I asked which vacuum, he said he lost $2.00 (this always seems to happen when you are nice). When I get to the vacuum it looks like the last person used a screwdriver and tried to fix the jam. Do you call the customer back and ask him why he screwed up the sensortron coin acceptor? Or do you just call and act like nothing happened? Or do you just not call back?
I definately am not a professional tool reviewer but I know after I used this tool my forearm was unbelievably sore. I had trouble lifting things and I now hate this ViperGrip 8 inch 2 in 1 self-adjusting and locking pliers (IDL Tools International 9050, Lowes). But I love my Knipex wrenches: they seem to be great quality and never slip.
I really liked the idea of having pliers that lock and are normal but…. I used the tool for about 30 minutes straight and at the beginning it was working fine. Then after awhile of using them as non-locking pliers, they started slipping. (Second picture) The problem I think they have is the teeth are so small (unlike a viper) and have a tendency of slipping. (Third picture) The next problem was the larger teeth for the object you are gripping on to. These seemed to grip fine then slip and get brass flakes all over the place. The third problem is the pain in my forearm. I guess the pressure I used to make sure it would not slip was a real work out. I can’t wait till tomorrow because my forearm is going to be really sore. I also can’t wait to get my money back on this item.
