jimwarneke Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 My wife and I recently jumped into this biz by buying a small existing route from a couple that was retiring. Although I am new to the business, I have worked in as a Field Technician on electronics before and I have manuals for most of the machines we inherited. However, I am starting to understand that each machine is the same, and different. Bill validators and coin mechs are not unique to a particular model or manufacturer; and some even have after-market controllers? What I am looking for is a 'generic' tutorial that speaks of the basics in the industry. Is there a good book on the subject? Help?! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
