Total newbie question..


I have a barcrest blink king crazy machine that i have recently purchased. I am trying to find out how to put a note acceptor onto this machine. Like i said total newbie question, but then again we all have to start somewhere. I am trying to learn as i go along but sometimes you need a steer in the right direction.. Any help would be more than welcomed. Il list what i know about machine below.

P.s its had a note acceptor in the past because there is a sticker saying so on the inside.

Thanl you in advance - Tom

Hi Tom,
A note acceptor can be fitted on the left hand of the payout tray, and inserted notes get fed down into a metal vault. The MPU5 can be fitted with a vast selection of note acceptors such as Luminars and JCMs, but by far and away the best, are the innovative technology acceptors in terms of acceptance, security and appearance. Of theirs, you could go for either the NV4 or the even better NV10.
Many Barcrest machines come pre-fitted with a vault and chute these days. You should be able to see the vault easy enough, by looking behind the bottom door ~ it will be on the left hand side as you look at the machine.
When you decide what note acceptor to get, bear in mind that you will also need the loom for that particular acceptor. This obviously fits the note acceptor, and this fitting differs by manufaturer and also model. It then connects directly to the MPU5.
Older Barcrest machines will only ever give change for notes, but with one of this age, I't should give credits for notes, which is by far the best, for many reasons.
If buying a secondhand note acceptor, off fleabay for example, please bear in mind that despite the "new" £20 note having been in circulation for many years now, many old acceptors like the NV4 will not have been upgraded to take the "new" note.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to send me a pm

Thank you for the reply this has really helped me, I had seen the chute and vault it was just the correct note acceptor but thank you for all the information this was very interesting. i shall get looking for the acceptor and will post how i got on. thank you again. - Tom
