I received a call from Victoria at Trinity Renewal Systems a couple weeks ago..

Victoria was John Guerkink's office manager for the last 5 years or so........



She wanted to let me know that John has recently retired and that a group of loyal TRS owners have bought the company and are looking for venues to advertise in.

It took some assuring on her part to convince me that dick head was no longer involved and after a few conversations, including one with the major share holder, @Branden Joynt , and I'm feeling very comfortable to get involved helping to promote their products.

I'll do an interview with Branden and Victoria soon to talk about the new direction of the company and it's offerings.
Attendees of Mikey's Fest Vegas, Greenville SC and hopfully Phoenix, will be able to take their machines for a test ride AND we'll have a Spider up for auction real soon.




When it comes to OP machines you have a few options.

Orbot/Hruby who make a very nice machine but customer service for the owner operator is horrible. Unless you buy direct from Rick Gelinas, who stocks all the common parts that fail You stand a great chance of being ignored unless you're buying trainloads full of machines. The Vibe promotion we did a while back was pretty embarrassing when it came to follow up and fixing problems. I consider Jeff and Tom Hruby friends and I've talked to them over and over about the need for Owner Op support but.... See Rick if you want one.

EDIC has a nice unit looking but no one has seen it or is talking about it.

Orbitec still makes units I think but if you think the Hrubys are bad at customer service, Clark makes them look like Amazon. Crude, rough handling units.

Mytee... well.....Damon Williams will take care of you if and when it fails, thats for sure.

and TRS.. The only all American made machine of the lot and very attentive customer service from Victoria and crew, take a look...

    I like this..



  • Also you can have only your company name or no name on your machines. All too often we hear of customers writing down the name of the machine so they can buy one themselves and do their own cleaning.

    So we offer “incognito” machines with no markings or only your company markings.




Victoria tells me that you can switch from 3/8ths to 9/16th orbit in about 30 seconds with a washer swap. You OP nerds know what that means...

I bought a Trinity Freedom about 4 years ago. It's like cleaning carpet with a jackhammer. It's a POS. In my opinion. I paid $2495 for it. It sold for as high as $3495. If they want to buy it back from me I will stop bad mouthing them. I've been trying to sell it for 3 1/2 years, but no takers.

the "hatchet" was for guerkink. He is no longer involved.


but do the new owners know the damage done from his hyperbolas nonsense and utter bullchitness that's spewed from his piehole for the last 20 years?

I wish the new folks well, cause "I" know OP cleans much better than the dirt slurry smearing scrub 'n run sCampooers ..
but even without G's baggage, seems it would be a tough row to hoe selling monster shake 'n shine machines for $5000 to $9000

Nine THOU$AND for an OP machine???
PUH-LEEEZE....

No it wasn't my first. I had a Orbot SprayBorg before I bought that Freedom. I use the SprayBorg for commercial. I also have a Whittaker Trio that I sometimes use for commercial. I wanted the Freedom for residential and apartments but it shakes the walls, floors, and is unusable for most residential. I'm mostly a TM guy for residential but I wanted to add VLM for some jobs. Especially for jobs my TM can't reach or apartments that were not bad. I thought I could give my TM a break by using a OP instead of my TM all the time, but all I did was waste
$2495 on the Freedom that is too violent for most residential.

Yes I replaced the Freedom with a Challenger for VLM residential jobs. The Freedom just collects dust in my basement.

Yes Wheels Up.

When doing VLM on residential I always prespray, then CRB, and extract with a Challenger OP with cotton or microfiber bonnets.

I've got an Orbot Vibe, Cimex, and Korblenz 175. I never touch the 175 anymore. I can't imagine why I would need anything else.

I do need some new pads for my Cimex. I need encap pads and scrubbing pads for greasy food eating places. Anyone got a link for me?
