Well never say never, though cannot believe the insurance company allows it.

Help Support :
Every laundromat I have ever been to has Bock extractors! Now I agree, WHO said they don't?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?
Think it was me, since it has been ages since have seen one. Our local hand laundry told me that the insurance and risk was such no one wanted to bother.

That's a fairly new model of the Bock. Yes, they are still sold, and have more safety lid switches on them to prevent accidents. A new Bock costs about $10K, so this store is an absolute steal.
It has Steve Toggle's name all over it...

Do laundromats charge to use the extractors, or do they just offer them at no charge, as it will save them on energy in the long run. I didn't see a coin-op in that picture, but it could have been out of view. I've never seen an extractor at any of the laundromats around here
IIRC most laundromats make their money on dryers, so any thing that cuts down on drying time eats into profits. Keeping that in mind one would assume use of the extractor is not free. Along the same lines, newer coin op washers offer "max extract" (usually for an extra fee)feature which extends the final spin a bit longer to extract more moisture for shorter drying times.
Spelling:
What the heck is "backage"? *LOL*
Looks like a very clean mat, wonder why the owner is selling up? Still, someone is going to get a bargain, as Pete said, the Bock goes for $10,000 or more itself. More likely than not a refurb machine outfit will take the lot, but if one wanted to own/start up a mat, it is all there for a resonable price.
Bet the landlord is chucking the laundromat out and owner wants to get the equipment out before landlord claims it. Most commercial leases in NY have a clause anything bolted to the walls, floors or ceiling becomes the landlords property.

Remember one from a laudramat in Florida when I was a preteen-We used that laundry when whe came back from trips and another time when her washer broke-loved using that Bock spinner they had-the sound-the thrill--And it was less time in the dryer.The theory behind the Bocks is that the Dryer could be used by more customers in a given time-thus MORE money for the laundramat operator.And oh yea--What is "Backage" could it have been "Package"??And rememmber when one women either misloaded the Bock or put too much in it-she was running around the laundramat screaming about her shredded clothes-As kids we thought it was funny.
no Cleanteam, it ain't you.....
Quotation marks and some other symbols in the *Subject Drift* box simply disappear.
We tendd to use stars here instead of single and double quotes, in general.
YOU MIND IS STILL INTACT. BREATHE!

OMG, PH If I had a laundromat, I'd have a really hard time going to my *real* job.

Laundromat owners make their money from the washers. Dryers are more and more less profitable because of gas prices. Dryer income is typically 1/3 of total income.
You bet they charge for the extractor. Typically .50 for a 3 min spin.
The only manufacturer that offers a "max extract" option is Wascomat on their Emerald (computer controlled) line. It's hit or miss whether the owner charges for using that option or not. And since Wasco's pull about 90 G's in spin, the option really doesn't do much.
Steve, I've been doing it for 6 years now. You have to remember that it is a profit center, not a playground...

Actually, some Dexter machines carry the max extract feature now, but the machine acutally spins faster, not necessarily longer.
Right. These are the new Dexter machines that they are calling "Express". They spin out at 200 Gs. Wascomat has a 140 G washer line, and I think Maytag/Primus just introduced a 140G line. All these washers are hardmount without any suspension
