WMS 550 BV Help
« on: September 09, 2018, 04:31:35 PM »
 A friend of mine bought a WMS 550 but is missing the BV.  What BV is recommended as a replacement and most compatible?


Thanks
Fusco

Is there any kind of bv cage in there now or there's just nothing in there.  I would go with a WBA validator (12 or 13). On the 550's you will either need the wms rs-232 converter or the one that goes on the side from JCM.  You could also get an MEI 6607 validator, it is probably easier than to find either of the two rs-232 adapters needed with the wba's.

Thanks Rick! I’ll find out if the skeleton cage is there or not. My guess is Yes, but I’ll find out for sure. I believe  he was trying to put in a WBA 12/13 and it powered up, but would not accept bills. Dipstick positions were off and all the other common errors were addressed. I think he would need the converter. How difficult are they to locate?

The WMS one I have not seen for the longest time.  It is usually a pcb mounted on the rear behind the bill cage area.  Most WMS550 units I have seen had the board there, unless it had a Mars validator.  The JCM one is getting harder to find, buy you can find one from time to time.  This is what the JCM one looks like.  The once from JCM mounts on the side of the validator opposite to the side with the switches.
