I ordered a couple LAI locks to check them out and ended up ordering the wrong kind. I ordered the B622F 600 series high security cam locks that can fit the cylinder locks that I also ordered. But with the high security locks you can not remove the key when the lock is unlocked, it has to be in the locked position to remove the key. This feature is really crappy because the Fragramatics vacuum has 3 locks on the door so I would need 3 keys to open the door, not cool. So I am going to have to purchase some 500 series cam locks, but the 500 series can turn right and left where the high security can only do one or the other, which is good. Wow what a pain.
So the problem is the high pressure wax function does not work in one of the bays. First I decided there was crap in the hp wax solenoid. So I slowly starved the pump of water to pull the crap out of the solenoid. That did not work so I removed the solenoid to clean it, which did not work. So I decided the problem was with the needle valve which I just removed all of them, that did not help. Then I pulled out my voltmeter and checked to see if I was getting voltage from the switch to the equipment room which I was not (I am getting somewhere!). So now I need to figure out how to check a rotary switch. I need to give Greg a call!
Did you know that Dosatron has a blog? Well I did not know either but they do. They also have a link to my site from theirs so a thanks goes out to the Dosatron people! Check out their site below.
Nothing very exciting today just normal stuff. Checked and dumped the garbage, checked the vending, changer, self serve functions and the automatic.
Today I used my Dad’s auger that I have been storing in my basement (over a year) for the first time. My Dad has even called to check on his auger to see if it was okay but didn’t want to pick it up. It did the job and cleaned out the drain!
I called Hamilton support today (1-800-837-5561) and they dialed into my modem and checked out my credit card computer. They said that the unit was turned off for a very long time and it was reset a lot of times. So apparently they can not really check anything by dialing into the system. (I knew that much!) They did say to send the unit in to them and they think it will cost anywhere between $200 and $500 to fix.
So walking into the show I realized that there were metal detectors? Really? For Bette Midler? Was there an assassination atempt I missed in the news? But after the metal detector, there was “empty your pockets” and you have to “check your camera”! What! Check your camera? I did not even want to take a picture until then. So I took a picture.
The last picture shows the checked camera line.
I need $139.99 so I can purchase a Gears of War Lancer from Amazan.com. Who doesn’t want a motorized chainsaw sounding toy gun? I know times are tough but I’m not beyond begging.
