Abandoned Ryko Voyager APC: Closed Gas Station in Bartow, FL

This beautiful gem is located at a closed unnamed gas station in Bartow. I came across this place during my trip to Sebring. Anyways, this thing looks in pretty good shape, other than the filament. My guess is that it had been closed for a long time, and I can expect it to be closed for another 10 years or until someone leases the property and replaces it. The system still features the original Ryko DTMF pay station, onboard dryers, wall mounted CMD display, and traditional velvet touch filament (purple), which has fallen off the brushes and has COMPLETELY been worn out. I was gonna try to get a shot of the serial plate to see when it was manufactured, unfortunately it looks as if the plate was ripped off. There are currently no plans for this system because there’s currently no one leasing the property, so it’s looks as if the system will remain in its current condition.

I like old ryko machines, it's a shame this one has been abandoned.

They re-open the gas station can you revisit it

[@FloridasExpressCarWashes]

The system was removed as part of a recent renovation to this location.

@@FloridasExpressCarWashes that’s so sad did a new machine replace it?

[@CECFanOffical]

Wow what a find, one question why did you not grab the filament on the floor?

[@FloridasExpressCarWashes]

I actually did grab some filament after I shot the video.

Nice and lovely purple filament brushes.

This is exactly like the one that use to be in Jacksonville before it got replaced with a Select A Wash. Except mine didn’t have the pointy things on the dryer nozzles.

[@FloridasExpressCarWashes]

Didn’t Florida Car Wash film that one?

[@zacharybishop6595]

Yeah.

That poor machine looks so sad, best of luck with finding the owner.

[@FloridasExpressCarWashes]

I apologize for the late reply, but I was actually able to find the original owner, but he never returned my phone calls. I’ve pretty much given up on trying to purchase the machine.
