gelaro Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have a snack machine with a CoinCo BA32SA Bill validator. Will any 24 V Bill Validator work as a replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vendo Mike Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 The BA32SA could run either MDB or Serial. Was this using the 6 pin mdb "Y" harness connecting the coin and dbv to the board? Or does it use a 9 pin power connector and 18 pin serial port to connect the DBV directly to the board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelaro Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 I will have to look at it next time I am there. It is an AP LCM2 machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 1 hour ago, gelaro said: I will have to look at it next time I am there. It is an AP LCM2 machine. The LCM can be setup to use MDB or 24v pulse/logic. The coinco BA32SA also does both. So now we really don't know what you need without seeing which connection it's using. A MAG32SA is a direct replacement regardless, but I prefer mars. A 24v mars will work but you need to know whether you need the standard 24v pulse harness or the MDB harness. If you can tell us what coin mech is in it, we'd know what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Probably micro mech since there were few of these run as MDB. I don't think you can get the MDB harness now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Tech Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Why you want to replace the BA32SA? A VANTAGE from Coinco can do the work. https://paycomplete.com/devices/vantage-bill-validator/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gelaro Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I finally got back to this It has a 9 pin connector. I think the coin mech is a coin co but I forgot to check the model. The light is blinking twice and it won't take bills. The coin mech works fine Edited January 29, 2022 by gelaro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngryChris Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 That 9 pin connector means you aren't running MDB. You can also see the red 24v sticker on the bottom of the picture indicating you probably have something like a coinco 9302-L. Your cheapest option is to get a mars 2502 or 2512 with a 24v (not mdb!!) harness. I think the LCM works best with a snack mask but I'm not sure. A coinco mag32SA would also work but I believe the Mars is superior. Another option is to get an inone board to replace yours, and get something nicer like a mars 2702/2712 (get the snack mask) with mdb harness. That will cost you several hundreds of dollars but you'll be almost completely future proof aside from needing a better coin mech if you're getting a lot of big bills.
