I have Mars acceptors throughout my 3-bay SS, except for one Coinco MAG50-BAB. It is in an American AC1005 housing, and was last tuned at the factory for 2008 currency.
The MAG50 finally died recently-- a bill got stuck, and even after removing the bill and working on it extensively it still won't start up properly and gives me seven LED blinks-- code for a stuck bill although the bill and any remnants are long gone. It might be repairable but I want to consider options to replace as well.
Will a newer model Coinco validator "plug in" and use the old electronics from my former unit? Or would I need to change all of that? And if I wanted to switch it over to a Mars acceptor then does that mean changing out everything inside the housing?
I'd appreciate any help-- I called Coinco but have not gotten a response from them yet.
