I received my Van Lock replacements today! I decided to go with LAI because I really like how everything can be keyed alike. Even though it is not really true in my case and I need 2 keys.
Fragramatics vacuum / Van Lock key problem
My Van Lock key for my Fragramatics vacuum self destructed today. Looks like the screw in the key was loose and when I turned the key the top piece fell off? This has never happened before and is really great because I do not have an extra key. So I will be ordering new locks and breaking into my own equipment!
Fragramatics motor replacement
Attempted break-in
I had an attempted break-in on my Fragramatics vacuum yesterday. The guy only broke 1 lock but what a hassle to fix.
Vacuum brushes
I swapped out some vacuum brushes and everything started to work fine again.
Hunter’s Creek Auto Wash / aka Car Wash
My GPS said “Gatorland Carwash” at 14513 Gatorland Drive, Orlando, FL. but the name does not really matter.
First picture is the front view and the second picture it from the entry road next to a Flex-Serve.
Front view: I like the glass block and the road sign.
Vending: I like the “Suggestions” box and it is interesting that they replaced the Dilling & Harris Vend-Master product door. They replaced the plastic with metal.
Back view: First picture show painted arrows on the ground which is a good idea. I just doubt it would help.
Bay: Some interesting notes are the crappy foam brushes and the garbage can in every bay. I love the large timer conversion.
Automatic: PDQ Laser 4000 had an interesting purge setup in the automatic. Not really sure what or why it was purging though.
Vacuums: They has some weird vandalism problems? I actually had someone steal my gun off my Fragramatics fragrance vacuum before. They unscrewed the gun and took it.

I hate working on these Fragramatics vacuums. The vacuums have 6 special screws to unlock the top and everything is just so crammed in there. One of the vacuum motors was not working so I had to remove the motor to check the brushes. The brushes were fine but a fuse was blown. I will check the fuse first next time. Even though 2 out of the 3 motors worked, you can still tell there is a problem.
Can a fuse be swapped with a breaker?

I had a Fragramatics vacuum blow its fuse (FNM-30), which is a time delay. I know that the Coleman vacuums use a breaker (not sure what kind) and not a fuse. So my question would be: could I just swap them out? I do realize that the breaker will not fit in the fuse holder (I did have that shape discovery toy as a child).
Fragramatics vacuum fillup
Topped off the fragrance containers today.
FragraMatics vacuum problem
Someone tried to steal something? Maybe if something important was in there, there would be a lock on it. The dumpster guys dumped my lock and I had to steal it from this vacuum. That was fast.
