It is tempting, although it does not have the sliding 5 position brass adjustment. I wonder how the 4oz / gallon setting works on this one....

I confirmed with the seller, it does not have the 5 position adjustment.
This is the model number of the one on E-bay:
75QGF - Quart Foam Gun w/standard 4 oz. per gal. single ratio dial

Does anyone have the Non - Adjustable unit? Does it still work Ok? I like the idea of being able to adjust the foam ratio....
Your thoughts?

I just received mine and, while it does work OK, the unit came with newspaper packing that`s dated 1985!!!!!!!!
Who knows, maybe the quality was better back then. :nixweiss
This is my first foam gun so I don`t have anything else to base my opinion. The unit works fine and seems solidlly built.

I bought one for my father-in-law (without realizing the non-adjustability) and after reading your post, I confirmed on the documentation that came with my gun (adjustable version) that 4oz/gal ratio is the middle setting.
I`ll just train him to use a little greater concentration of soap than I normally use, since I leave my gun on the next hole larger than the middle ratio.

even without the adjustability, it still works well. Just start with a high concentration of soap in the reservoir, and dilute that part was you need. Most of the time you don`t need to go to the higher concentrations because you waste too much soap

I used it the other day. It works well, as I used the same amount of concentration as I would to do a normal wash (irrespective that it has only one setting). The unit is solidly built and the mechanisms work well.
The question I have is what amount/how do you guys determine how much soap to put in? ounces? If we need more, due to the one setting, how much more? I try to put always on the less side so not to remove any wax when washing. Thanks.
