I had a high pressure hose leak in the bay.  I guess it made someone mad and they broke the high pressure gun.  I just swapped the gun out with a Cat gun, a flex wand and a really long hose.

The coin acceptor had a coin jam.  I am always amazed how a mechanical coin acceptor can last 100 years and an IDX only can last 1 year.

The first arrow is the last product indicator and the second picture is how the customer pulls out the product they purchased.  The last picture is the same as the first.

The first picture is the last product indicator in place.  The second and third picture is how the product dispenser is setup.  Also, the problem with the coin jam was crap on 2 quarters.

I think the problem occured because someone tried to open the meter boxes again.  The bike rope slid under the coin acceptors making them jam; also cracking off the coin funnel.  The fix?

I crossed the bike rope so it could not slide under the coin acceptors.  You know, the opposite of what the Ghostbushers would do (don’t cross the streams).  I need to fix the meter door locks because I guess the gap is to tempting?

I forgot to replace the barb with a push lock.

I repaired meter box 3 today.  The bar was bent pretty good also the lock, the bar was also almost pulled out of the brick.

Leak.

Meter box 1, they killed my Sensortron and stole the quarter.

Meter box 2, just a stolen quarter.  Meter box 3, they bent the rod thing but did not get in.

They almost got the vendor off the wall.  Good thing they did not they would have hit the jackpot $6.00.

Bike lock on the meter doors?  Yes that is what I used.  Maybe I will try something different later?
