Ooo
€650 for a dash-mounted meter? There must be big windows in the installers.

Coulda spent €550 on a mirror Albreeen meter, but personal choice always wins. Regardless of the size of yer man fuinneog.

I'm not a great fan of the mirror meter I bought but part of my thinking is that there's not a whole lot of visible room on dashboards in modern cars with their big screens and what not so the mirror is probably more versatile going forward. I could operate the Hale with no need to look at the buttons which certainly isn't the case with the mirror one and it's position naturally takes your eyes off the road so I have to get into the habit of getting it running with all the extras before moving... not ideal by any means.
I got used to my mirror meter surprisingly quickly which was very unexpected from me as a major 'Non-Change' type of person.
My only regret being putting the printer on the dash rather than in the glove box as almost no pax want printed receipts any more, even fer street CC work.

It's better on the dash, Ken. I have mine in the small drivers side glove box into which it just about fits - it is referred to as "drivers side glovebox" in the manual but unless the driver has tiny extremities it's never going to work as a glove box. Anyway, I digress... the problem with it resting on it's side (when the glove box is closed) is that the roll rolls out of the roller with the cover open. Hence you need to leave a receipt on the printer and stick a business card on top of said receipt to keep the roll in place if you're inclined to open the cover when the printer's not in use. I think I'll reinstall my switch!
If it doesn't have a roof sign and door stickers it's not a taxi.

South Dublin Autos / PSV.IE wanted €550 for a Hale Microtax 6 dashboard meter and that was with trade in and without a printer... and that expires in 2045... No use to a youngfella like Panel!

Oh... and without the card holding the roll in place and the cover open the cover will partially close i.e. instead of the printer saying "No Paper" it'll try to print without actually printing, Ken. The print head goes through the motions but the paper doesn't feed so it just soils the roll with a black line. That couldn't be good for the printer, particularly bearing in mind the fact that it's the cheapest piece of shit on the market.
