Is it a “feature” when they run forever when a bill is stuck?
International Carwash Association Trade Show 2010
Fragramatics sells the largest vacuum in the WORLD! Just what you need… a vacuum with everything on it. Talk about everything being in a huge knot every time someone uses anything. Just seems like a bad idea. Couple that with the unit probably being hard to work on for repairs like the older models. But I think they look the best in the business though, which is good except for the ugly flower. Well I thought it was fine until Greg pointed it out to me now I hate the flower.
Just a large air compressor… that’s all.
This was an interesting product. A basic J.E. Adams vacuum with a credit card reader, bill acceptor and coin acceptor.

Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer?
While at the ICA show I saw this really expensive Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer machine with receipt printer and bill acceptor? It is always a bad sign to have a problem at a trade show.
Installing Rowe Kit #27040201 High Security Bill Acceptor Inlet – Step 2
Step 2 is to install the plate and bolt it in. Note the tape on the center picture it is so the bolts do not fallout when you put the nut on.
Installing Rowe Kit #27040201 High Security Bill Acceptor Inlet
I am actually installing a High Security bill acceptor on a BC-1400 not a BC-200 this time.
Their are 6 bolts that need to be removed and that is all that I did today. It was a lot harder than I would have thought.

C-2000 Hamilton changer controller – Update
Randy got my changers working before the weekend! The only problem is that it is supposed to rain everyday.
Actually, both of my Cycle Inhibit Adapter harnesses were broken. I just plugged in the new ones in and everything worked perfectly. The only thing I hate about the harness is the small terminal that does not fit the bill acceptor. The reason they do this is so you will put the harness in wrong and blow the bill acceptor (which I have done).
First problem with my MEI Mars bill acceptor? Update
I recieved my fixed MEI Mars acceptor today from Randy Nix at Eagle Car Wash. I will see f it works tomorrow.
New $5 bill upgrade
I guess I waited as long as I could to upgrade my MEI bill acceptors. I got the Mars 115 volt programmer from Randy Nix at Eagle Car Wash and it was easy to do.
The MEI directions were incorrect and I had to flip all the switches to off and turn on 8 (not 6). The flasher wire harness can only be installed one way correctly (note pins picture 2-3).
When the light turns green the programmer flashed the bill acceptor.
MEI credit card bill system – in use
IRS note: Now the 10 Pepsi drinks I purchased from this Pepsi machine are all a tax deduction. At only $3 a piece that is a large deduction. They were actually a good deal because inside the ICA show they cost $3.25.
This is really an update of the previous post on the MEI credit card bill system. The second picture shows the antena locating for the vending machine. I really like this bill acceptor and if you watch the exciting video the first time I swipe my card it was not read (which was the only time that happened with my research) the credit card is in very poor condition.

Rowe BA-50 bill acceptor problem
Looks like the bad design of the BA-50 caused me to crimp the wires when I was trying to clean it. Why would a wire harness be next to the mounting rail for the stacker? OR Maybe I should be more careful?
