Post a photo of your machine with the door open so we can see the validator. Some validators can be updated to accept most of the new currency, but some cannot.

Greetings from England, UK

First of all , nice classic machine if its the one i am thinking it is, I am from the UK so i am unsure if the USA changed to polymer notes but i know that the older note validators i used could not be updated, such as the earlier model of NV10, which they then released the later NV10 USB, coin mechs had been a little easier.
All this could be totally irrelevant due to my experiences being with more modern machines/tech which it it is the case then still get to say nice machine and create my first post here

You can use any photo editing software to reduce the dimensions of your image which will reduce the file size.

Is there a switch / test switch anywhere inside the cabinet ? , might be hidden pretty well somewhere ,

Also any loose connectors , look inside them and see if any signs of ever being pushed into another, any little scratches , its not uncommon for their to be extra free connectors and usually they're present in case of future upgrades or extra's available at the time

Dizzlec · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2021, 01:31:37 PM »

i checked all the wires there solid the only thing is there a red and orange wire that was round and zip tied up by itsself i tried it all over and connected it to the hopper wire the orange wire at bottom of hopper and nothing and there is a test switch the normal white on above the main board im lost on bill validator being all lit and not even trying to grab a bill at all ill cleaned it and checked wiring wont do anything but light up

bishmyster · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2021, 01:44:44 PM »

I may be wrong on how one of this age would work , but i assume it has a sensor that detects the note being inserted which would cause any rollers to spin, if correct then it could be that needing a good clean.
When the machine is powered on does the note mech make any noise ?

Dizzlec · « **Reply #15 on:** April 18, 2021, 01:51:49 PM »

yes as soon as its powered on makes noises for about 4seconds sounds like rollers moving im going to see if i can upload a video of it now thank you bish for your help

Dizzlec · « **Reply #16 on:** April 18, 2021, 02:01:54 PM »

im sorry i tried uploadinga video i nedd another way postimage worked but only for pics i need a way to post video up

The board in question is for a player tracking interface that was used when the machine was part of the casino's network. They are worthless for home use, you can remove it, or leave it there, it's not doing anything anyway. The orange wire is usually attached to a screw that pokes inside the coin bowl on the hopper. It is used to let the system know if the hopper is full. There should be a screw that has the head outside the bowl and the rest is inside the coin bowl. That orange wire is supposed to be attached to that screw. When the coin level gets high enough so it touches the screw, it indicates a hopper full condition. If the connector is loose and it shorts with the cabinet, your machine will think the hopper is full, and any coin that is supposed to go into the hopper will get directed to the drop door where the casino had a bag that used to collect these coins.
