What are your favorite coin-mech and validator brands?

MEI for me in both cases, however I think this post should have included Apex note acceptors!. The new Apex note acceptors I find are very good and I am increasing my purchases of these particular acceptors which are very keenly priced.

 

I would agree with you if MEI made a bill acceptor for NZ currency.. I do prefer the MEI CF7000 but haven't got any with the "new" 6 tube configuration on them yet.

 

I might have to take your advise & try the Apex!

then I imagine they  wouldn't be offering a great deal, what do they charge?.

That's odd. I feel like I have had less luck with 4-tube changers than 3-tube changers in terms of MDB... but the classic style MEI 4-tube changer is so convenient for large accounts with its pull-out tubes.

Chris I do well with mars v and Coinco 3 tube as well. But I'm definitely moving to mars coin mechs because of the feedback here from the pros. I'm a small operation, I'm not thrilled about sorting $1's and 5's if that's the case for the newer validators. My customers know they have to bring or borrow $1's for my machines, lol..

$414 that's very high, I pay more than $100 less that that!. Shoot me a message with your number/email and I maybe able to help you if you want to buy some.
