The machine is just saving you time.  Its going to take all your money anyways, why not just do it from the start.....   :banghead:                               

What denomination is the machine.
If you set it to $100 denomination you will need to feed it 5 x $20 for 1 credit ?
Ie you may have thought you set it for $1.00

It’s set for .25.

Plays fine with coins.  Thinking it may be dipswitches on BV.

Came without a BV, and I put one on from my parts bin.

I did an BV input test.

The machine accepts the $1, and registers it as 14 -1.

What would make the machine not add the credit during normal play?

Try your other MPU

I tried both mpu’s both pay and play in coins.  BV takes bills on both, but no credits.

Tried a different BV head, same result.

Appreciate the help, exactly the kind of thread I was looking for.

My grey wire does appear to be in the right spot,  and with two mpu’s tried, probably both boards  don’t have a bad U34 chip.

Seems like it’d have to be bad backplane, wiring, or dipswitch?   Any other possibilities?

Got a DBV 200 & double checking the grey wire mentioned in that link, the machine finally takes cash.

The grey wire definitely needed to be moved.   Thanks so much for the link Sunrise Side!
