I recently bought a laundry mat and it came with an old school soda machine. It is nothing like the ones i have in my other location and I am trying to figure out which bill acceptor I can purchase that will work with this machine. There is virtually no information on the machine. I have attached some pictures. The connector is a 3x4 setup. If anyone can recommend which validator I should purchase that would be great. Thank you.

Thank you. I have order a new one.

Good afternoon. I am back on this same machine. So, if I turn the thermostat off the fan stops and I can hear the compressor turning off but something is still running in the background. I am not sure what that is. I turned the machine on to the lowest setting and left it. Could it be something else? THanks.

Great. Thank you.

Great Thank you. How hard is it to replace?

Good evening. I only own a single Dixie Narco 501e machine and I am a novice with it. The other day I came into my location and nearly all of my soda cans were frozen. When I opened the machine at least the first 3 rows of each selection was frozen solid. The machine was on and did not turn off. When I unplugged the machine and turned it back on the machine condensor started again. I am guessing but I suspect the thermostat is shot. Has anyone had this problem before? If my guess is correct anyone know where I can get a new thermostat? Thanks for your advice and help.

Thank you. Clearly I am learning. I will order a MARS MDB Harness. I really do appreciate all of your feedback.

Good evening everyone. I so. I bought the following : MARS MEI VN2502 U5 bill validator 24volt MDB, will take $1, $2 & New $5.00 But I am really new to the vending machine world. I clearly did not buy the one that works with my setup. Attached are the pictures from the old and new one. Can someone help me understand do I need different connectors or should I return the changer and buy a new one. Sorry for being so lame on this. First two photos are of the new bill changer I bought. Second two are the old one. Thanks again.

Thank you everyone. I am off to go find one.

Thank you everyone for your response. This is helpful. I will go and look for pricing for a Mars VN 25 series units. As this is the first vending machine i have how do I know if it is MDB? Someone said that it must be because the front connector is empty. Is that right? Thanks again.

Good evening. I have a Dixie Narco 501e soda machine. The bill collector will no longer accept bills. The current bill collector is a Coinco BA30B. Is it even worth attempting to repair it? Or just I just buy either a new one. If so, can I buy anyone or should I purchase another Coinco. Thanks everyone for your help.
