Note acceptor for a Barcrest Star Wars "a new hope" machine
Note acceptor for a Barcrest Star Wars "a new hope" machine
Hi guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew if the following note acceptor "NV8 Note Validator manufactured by Innovative Technology" fits and works in my Star Wars A New Hope machine? I've seen it in ebay but don't want to buy it on a whim! (unlike my new machine!!)
If this one is no good then any advice on which one I should get would be most welcome.
Also do I need a wiring loom or is the machine wired and ready for one?
Fitting instructions wouldn't go a miss either!
And maybe someone to fit it.
(the last one was a joke, I can fit myself!!)
Thanks in advance.

doubtfull,
u need to drop the note acceptor plate and check what wiring is there. it is postioned hust right and below of the payout tray
this is done by opening the top door, then look down on the right hand side, you should see two wingnuts, take em off and look for the note acceptor loom, this will tell you if its wired for a nv8, 10 or a jcm note acceptor.
in addition to the note accepter you would need the correct fittings (bezel, plate), how you would fit it depends on which note accepter in can use.
you would need to reset the note acceptor and enter the bnv key in test mode.
there is a further complication with this machine type, there was a security issue years ago on these cabinets. people were drilling holes in jcm note accepters, gaining access to the c-c talk wiring and fraudiently emptying the machine in seconds.
the fix for this consisted of an eeprom change and a wiring upgrade.
you could have difficulties getting a note accepter (even the correct one) to work depending on whether either of the modifications has been done...

Thanks Buzzer for your comments. The machine I brought came with a front plate already fitted, just no mechanism behind. The security issue is not a problem as the machine is in my own house and doesn't appear to have been drilled etc. I will have a look for the loom. How would I know by the look of the loom to which note acceptor I need? Sorry for all the questions and maybe it will be a dead end but worth a try!
you have the correct faceplate for the note acceptor your trying to fit, if you follow the wire loom from the hopper cable you should find it.
see the wing nut on picture 3, take it off and the one next to it, then the faceplate will open, hopefully youll find the wire loom in there somewhere.
can u take a picture of the mpu5 again but zoom out so that all the connecters are visable..

your missing the loom.....
theres a cable you need that connects the note accepter the connector in pic 2.
the security update looks like it has been doen, so thats good,
i'll try to track down an image of the cable you need ,
where were u thinking of buying the note acceptor, possibilty of getting a loom with it?

On the label inside my machine it says NV8/NV10 under the note acceptor heading.
and on the same website I found this

the loom is no use m8 wont fit your machine, either of the note accepters will fit but the second one has the bracket, so a better option.
worth mentioning also, these acceptrs are only programmed for cetain notes. IE scottish, english or both
u need to make sure the n/a is programmed for the notes u need..
i will try and find the loom u need, keeping looking though..
