G-man422 Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I have been reading in the ful-line section about different bill validators (coinco, maka, etc) my question is who is the best? I was wondering if you guys could give you top 2 or 3 favorite validators and why. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDERSONVENDING Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I use coinco and mars.The majority being coinco.At present I have 1 Mars VFM1 in an account I just bought that will be upgraded to either coinco or Mars 2000 series.Both of those have a high acceptance rate.

AAAPlus Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I personally like Conlux the best. They do not seem to jam or malfunction as much as some of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spdydre Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Mars & Coinco And no it is not hard to replace them are there any write-ups? Just wondering because I have a guy charging $45 to install mine and I would rather save my money and do it myself ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Vending Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Most of them have 4 nuts holding them on and 1 or 2 plugs in for wires 15 minute job at the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poplady1 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 As a precaution whenever you are working with mechs or validators, always turn off the power to the door or to the entire machine. Once you get everything hooked up turn the power back on. I know I have had to replace so many mechs that were just fried when our tech's forgot to turn off the power. I always favored Mars and Coinco. But we tried to have the same types in as many machines as possible so our techs could just go to the truck and grab one to replace quickly. Then we shipped that one off to be refurbished that same day so we would have it back in our supply. Blue Moose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snack dude Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I think its what you get use to. I prefer Coinco because thats what we have the most of. I think the coincos are easier to clean, maintain and troubleshoot. Mars are good I have several of them. The only way Id have a conlux validator or coin mech is if you gave it to me. If we buy a used machine with a conlux on it we will run it untill it messes up (and it will) and then put a Coinco in it. We are like poplady we keep a couple around to change out with bad ones. I have on occasion taken two bad ones and made a good one. Then your only sending one in to be repaired instead of two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 #1 coinco #2 Mars As Poplady said, turn off the power first, four nuts (ought to be 11/32) and unplug/plug the connectors, turn on power and your done. If you are replacing MDB stuff it's universal connectors between the brands so no problems there. If it predates MDB technology you will need to pay attention to the connectors and possibly get a new harness if changing brands (switching a coinco for a mars for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
