Title: Upstacker or down stacker ?
Post by: Mr.Slots on September 29, 2022, 02:26:54 PM: Always wondered this whenever im browsing for MEI replacement units. What is the difference between upstacker and downstacker ? Are MEI's the only ones that have these variations? My understanding is that 6612 is the only upstacker (whatever that means ). Shared knowledge goes a long way !

Any info gets me one step closer to exiting noob status. lol :duh: :rotfl:

Here’s an eBay link with a photo of a “u” tag

Post by: Hertz14 on October 03, 2022, 08:09:52 AM: I noticed that too- I used a 6602 in the machine I’m selling, just have to put the ticket in upside down. Maybe I’ll take 50 off or get one from spin as they have a couple. I was just curious as I didn’t know what it stood for.

6612U stacks the bills upwards instead of downwards. The cashbox is above the head. The head is upside down:

Will any head fit this set up ? And would I just have to insert the bill/voucher upside down ?

Post by: sixcardmark on November 02, 2022, 07:38:07 PM: A head from an s2000 or game king will work, need correct duck bezel. Only vouchers need to be inserted upside down, not the bills.
