Title: ODYSSEY UPGRADE TO A WBA NEW $100
Post by: mrzee2000 on March 19, 2018, 12:14:39 PM

I looking to see how much interest there is from Odyssey owners to replace the Mars BV to a WBA that will accept the New $100. I am reproducing the correct bezel and mounting plate for the WBA. The installation will require some modifications to some existing brackets and wiring. If interested let me know!

 Odyssey owners here is the new bezel kit for the WBA bill validator. The kit as pictured includes Bezel, base plate to mount Bezel to WBA, mounting screws, 2 sets of jumpers for P33, P34 which eliminate the need for a cherry switch for the cash can and the WBA wire harness. The kit cost is $85 + shipping.
You will need to purchase a WBA 13ss ID-003 V3.80-32i or WBA12ss flashed unit complete with transporter, cash can and housing.
You will need to modify two brackets that are attached to the side of the machine that the WBA housing attaches too plus you need the LED board for the bezel off the Mars along with the 3 prong connector and wire. You will also need to modify the door on the monitor so the BV will clear.
I will be updating more pictures on the modifications needed.

That WBA kit is for IGT S+. It has a power supply for S+ which is not needed.  Get a WBA13 transport, head, cash can and housing. MR Z  has the rest that you need.  Vendors on NLG  have the WBA  assembly in stock..

After it’s installed does a safe clear need to be done and what happens after that?

Once you do a full clear and proceed through your set-up, when you arrive at the configuration page (RED) second tab is money, first item is denomination and second is bill acceptor   click on the mars button it will change to the key board screen do a all clear and type in JCM and push the accept button, DO NOT enable the bill acceptor icon when the config page come back on, than proceed through the rest of your set-up.
Once you complete the set-up and out of MMS to the game page icons. You must turn off the power and boot back up. Once the odyssey back up and running your bill acceptor light should be green.
If you need any help don't hesitate to ask.

Sorry to say I had to increase the cost of the kits due to increase purchase cost of the WBA wire harness not ease to find.

Just wanted to say that I recently converted my first two machines to JCM using Mike's kits and help.  Both conversions went flawlessly and I'm glad I can now use modern currency in these marvelous machines.  I'll be converting a lot more in the near future.


Thanks to Mike for making this all possible!
