gumby Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hi, I have an idea about trying to design my own amusement type machine. I would like to install a bill acceptor and am looking to use an Apex 5400 The cabinet I want to use does not have a lot of space inside it, so am not sure if I can fit a bill stacker cassette in there. My question is, has anyone used a bill acceptor without a bill stacker cassette? If so, what was your experience? Do the bills just fall into a random pile? Does it take too much time to take out all the bills and stack them up neatly for depositing/counting/bookkeeping? Is using a bill stacker cassette strongly recommended? Thanks.

orsd Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 You have to buy the stackerless version. A stacker bill Val must be used with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, my question is what was your experience using the stackerless version validator? Do the bills just fall into a random pile?

Or Is using a stacker version validator with bill stacker cassette strongly recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 A lot of amusement machines have stackerless vals, just don't be stupid and drop the bills onto a bunch of cables where they'll get tangled. If you put a shelf or something for the bills to drop onto it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orsd Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 If you can though, a stacker validator is still preferred as there are a lot more of those, and thus they are easier to get used or rebuilt. Also spares are easier to keep around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musser Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I would not even consider a machine without a stacker. And, I would use a MEI or a ICT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
