Pbuckler Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 My NB-1KB DBV bit the dust today. I can't tell what is wrong with it by looking at it so I am assuming its an electrical problem. I am considering fixing or replacing it. From what I have found online, repairing will cost around $65 if nothing serious is wrong with it. Is this correct? Does anyone have a recommendation on who to send it to if I go the repair route? Or I could replace it. I can't find any info on compatible units on the web. I have found several NB model DBV's on the market but don't know if they will work. Does anyone know what model is compatible with mine? Thanks in advance!

NinnJinn Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I'm sure sooner or later, technivend will be along to help you out so just hang in there. What kind of changer do you have in this machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbuckler Posted January 8, 2011 Author Share Posted January 8, 2011 I figured he would be able to help. I got an email from them about a repair special they were running a week or so ago. But I didn't need their services at that time. The changer is a mars Trc-6000. The machine is a National 145 Snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Hey Guys, When you say bit the dust what are the symptoms? Is it trying to accept but isn't? Is it totally dead? If you disconnect the power and reconnect it does it cycle? I assume you opened up the bottom to be sure there is no small piece of bill stuck in there.... Also, if anyone is stuck on location you can always email me. If possible I will get right back to you. I carry a Blackberry and when I am away from that I have computers all over the place.

Pbuckler Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 It doesn't do anything. It doesn't accept a bill or cycle when powered off then on. I checked for anything stuck. I unplugged then re-connected and not a thing. The only thing it does, and it's really difficult to notice, is emit a soft ticking. I heard it and at first didn't think anything of it. Then I noticed the belts moving about a millimeter with each tick. It does this constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad motor, belt jumped and jammed, or something stuck in the validator could cause this symptom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pbuckler Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 The ticking occurs as the belts advance about a millimeter with each tick. The belts are continuously moving very slowly. Nothing is jammed and the belts are on track. I brought the validator home to look at it. But I don't have a way to power it up. Is it possible to do this at home? I don't have a machine at home but I could easily connect a lead to the harness if I knew which wires are the correct ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll dig up a schematic when I get to the office today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technivend Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 You just need 110v to power it up and test it. I'll dig up a schematic when I get to the office today. On a 110volt Maka. You need to supply hot to pins 1 and 3 and neutral to pin 2. On the unit I have here pin 1 is blue, pin 2 is red, pin 3 is green. But you MUST check out the pin position and color yourself to be sure. This should power up your validator to allow you to run bills through it. It will not tell you if a credit is being set up.
