fhamann Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I have an old AP 6600 snack machine. It currently has a Coinco BA30 validator that is jammed in place with no screws because the previous owner did not have the correct mounting hardware. I would like to upgrade the validator to a Mars VN2511 since the VN2511 can be unloaded on the side without removing the bill box. Where can I get the correct mounting hardware for this? regards, Frank Hamann Orange, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Honestly man.. if that validator works, the EASIEST fix is to take the bill box off and remove the pin that works as a hinge for the lid. Needle nose pliers might work. It's been a while since i have done it but removing the lid allows you to take bills out without removing the entire bill box.

AngryChris Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just make sure the spring part is straight everytime after removing bills or you'll get jams. That piece likes to spring forward crooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 You need a 500 ct billbox as that's the only one the has a side opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountain vender Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So, on a AP 6600, I can use a Coin Co BA30 or Mars VN2511 Vals? The manual is saying an Ardac, kind of outdated manual. Then a TRC 6000 would go with the VN2511 & 9300 L would go with the BA30 Mechs. I'm cleaning up a 6600.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I would use the 2511. BA30's are going the way of the Ardac. ie junkyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 You can use a trc 6000 OR 9300-L, regardless of the validator. You can use a ba30sa or mars 2511/2501 (i forget which mask you need) regardless of the coin mech. As for the manual being outdated... what do you expect from an outdated machine? Lol.

AZVendor Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Use an MEI 2500 validator with the stated coin mechs. You'll need two Mars mounting brackets and a Mars validator harness going to the logic board and power board. Use a VFM mask and 500 bill box.

mountain vender Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thanks! It was in my storage & I stripped it out yrs ago, to carry on my route & put in boxes of 'on hand extra' val & mechs. I didn't leave a note in machine of what I took & now mechanic garage needs a snack. I don't want to put one of my newer machines in the garage.... U guys rock, thanks for helping this little girl out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
