AngryChris Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I have a GS2 that won't dispense nickels. It has the programming that is unlike the national 148. I saw that the machine read "exact change only". It wouldn't dispense nickels. After installing a different mech, the error message went away but the problem still persists. The display flickers when I try to do it through programming but no clicks or anything come out. I think it's a board issue but checking for advice first.

AZVendor Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If you're certain that the issue isn't in the mech and those mechs work in other machines then it's the logic board in the machine that isn't sending a strong enough pulse to the mech. Let me know if you want an exchange board sent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I wish someone would come up with a solution for replacing those GS1 and GS2 boards to Inone aftermarkets. The motor harness is not the same as Crane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 The only real difference that I have seen between a Glasco GS and a National 147 is that the GS has a differently wired keypad that is specific to the GS model. I wasn't aware that the shelf harnesses were different as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 A few years ago, VE said they had ucbs for them. You just need to specify whether it's a GS board or 147 board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I asked VE a couple years ago and they said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 27, 2017 Author Share Posted January 27, 2017 I might call and check soon just to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Called and talked to them. It won't work. A lot of the Crane 147 stuff is the same but the board will not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Maybe they meant it will only work if it has an actual 147 board inside. Bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickers Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The GS does not have a slide out panel for the board. There are a few differences even tho the machines share a lot of the same parts. We have a few of those gs1 and 2's it would be nice to upgrade them. It could be adapted or modified pretty easy by the manufacturer but they must not be too in demand as I'm sure they made a lot less of the glasco.

AngryChris Posted January 28, 2017 Author Share Posted January 28, 2017 Yeah. From what I have seen, it's designed more like a National 145 in the sense that the board is fixed there. It's actually a pretty decent machine but doesn't clean up as nice as the Nationals because there's no real way to put a new front on it. I think I'll just get the board repaired and keep it as is. It's double spiral and I rarely get tray errors with the glascos vs. the nationals. I don't know if that's a coincidence or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we had a tray error but once. We just tweaked the contact a little and never experienced it again. I like them and will continue to run them and hope someday Inone or VE will see how little changes to their existing product it would take to make them.
