Title: SC6602 only reads tito tickets upside down?
Post by: yerigh on September 21, 2022, 07:21:56 PM
I have an IGT G23 with the SC6602 validator. I recently installed the tito@home and everything works great except one thing.
My validator will only read the tickets when they are upside down. Is my validator assembly installed upside down? I purchased the machine from a pretty reputable dealer and cant see any other way it would mount.
I have never seen the inside of a G23 other than my own so I dont know if it is indeed installed right side up.
Pictures are attached and I would love to see the guts of your machines.

Yes a 6602 will only accept tickets upside down.  G23 has a upstacker made for a 6612U.  At least it works.

Would someone please upload a picture of a G23 with the door open?

Yours is fine...looks exactly like every G23 I've ever seen.
The validator itself needs to be flashed to read inserted tickets or bills "four ways".
Meaning right-side up or upside down in either direction.
"Flashed" means you have to buy the software program and cable to do it or...
Send the validator to someone that is able to change the settings of the head in the options.
Most reputable slot dealers hire good techs, are able to do this.

***EDIT***
Please excuse me for what I've explained to you above is wrong.
I understand now that the setting ONLY applies to bills - NOT tickets.
I learn something new everyday!

The 6602 doesn't need flashed.  It has 4 way acceptance to take bills- NOT TICKETS.  Tickets must be inserted upside down.  6612U is an upstacker, you insert tickets right side up.

So is the 6612U just a head unit or do I need to get a whole new assembly?

Just the head should be all you need.

I didn't know the setting didn't apply for the tickets.
Good to know!
