How do I increase the fee for a coin-op washer?

Question

I have a coin-operated washer and dryer in the three family I recently purchased. I want to increase the fee for using each one from $1.25 to $1.50. There are 8 available slots, but some are plugged. How do I remove the plugs and reset the price?

Answer 1

Without causing possible damage to the coin hardware, have you yet determined the INNER hardware of the BOX? It might matter?

  I have to assume you might adjust the slots, or have to purchase a new SLIDER, but certainly in the box, some hardware mechanisms would have to be re-set as well, that connect with whatever software, timers, meters, accept that the cost at present is $1.25

  Do you know the manufacturer? Have you contacted them?

  Finally, and with no offense meant at all, will 25 cents additional profit benefit you, or aid in the water and electric bills? I realize it's your right, but have the users been allowed any input?
