I found this mystery part under the cashbox in a DBV validator does anybody recognize it and no what it goes to ?
-
Wow I am stumped.
Never seen one of those.
Was it a dime machine?
It kinda looks like a cheating device
-
Looks like a contact from inside the switch for the DBV door
-
I'm guessing it is sitting on a dime for size comparison and not attached. Looks like part of a wire splice to me.
-
yes it's only sitting on a dime for reference of size.
I got this S plus machine up and running except for the bill validator it Cycles up and powers on like it should normally do but doesn't pull any bills in and the red lights are visible looking inside, its a DBV 145 023 VS3.20
I pulled it all out and gone through it nothing stuck in there. I think it's time to get a set chip for it.
Any helpful suggestions?
-
If that little part came out of your bill validator as brokenticker suggested then that may be why it isn't working.
Might be time to shop for a DBV-200 head, it would install right where the old DBV-145 is and give you some additional features the DBV-145 does not have, like 4-way bill insertion and compatibility with many newer style bills.
-
If the machine was cleared you may just need to go into programming and activate bill validation
-
And that does look like a contact piece out of a microswitch
-
do you have to have a set chip to activate the bill validator ?
-
Yes and to set the coin denom.
-
Have you checked your settings to see if it is on? Should be 9-1 for on and 9-0 for off.
-
Couldn't find any info for how to see 9-1,9-0 my sp is 731 and in the self test it takes a bill in so I will order a set chip to enable it. Thanks all for the help.
-
Push test button 2 times, you should see a 2 or a 5 in window. turn jackpot key until you get to 9-? should be 9-1 if on. If not you will need set chip.
-
thanks that was easy enough I ordered a set chip so I should be good now
just want to thank any and all that helped its much appreciated
-
It's good to have a set chip for the future. Was it on 9-1 or 9-0? I am thinking you have a DBV 145 or 200. The newest bill for it is the first edition large head 20. One dollar bills are best to test with. They have never changed.
-
it was 9-0 and yes its a DBV 145 this machine will now be for sale I just like every thing to function when I sell it cause thats what I do, make things work.
