Pbuckler Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I've been having troubles with my Maka DBV in a National 145 machine. I found a Coinco BA50SA-RLA and before I buy it I'm wondering if it will work in my mahine. I can't find much info about these DBV online. I only know they operate on 110V and use MDB. The National 145 doesn't use MDB so I'm wondering if there is a harness out there I could use. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the problem was the data harness then it should not be too difficult to get a harness that will work. At least that`s my take, I`d suggest waiting for Bill to chime in before making a final decision if you can. He is the best one around here for this kind of stuff.

Technivend Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I've been having troubles with my Maka DBV in a National 145 machine.

It would also need a mounting kit as the mouthpiece and mounting brackets are different. The SA has a serial interface that the 145 does not interface with so don't buy this one. The 145 is a 110v interface. Mission, it is odd that you only had 24v units as they were the less common of the MAKA's. I hate to say it Pete, but it seems as if you are spending a lot of time and effort trying to skirt the inevitable. You need to get your MAKA either repaired or get a rebuilt or known good one.

I currently don't have any Maka's, the only ones I can remember ever having came on some CD6SA USI machines around 10-12 years ago and I replaced those with Coinco's when they finally bit the dust.

amc-vending Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I have the same setup - My tech had to replace the coin mech - (board had a short) and get the maka rebuilt - machine was down for about 3 days. It cost me labor, parts, rebuilding DBV 300.00 to replace it with a better DBV with new wiring harness etc wouldv'e cost around 500+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D&S Vending sells a kit to put a Mars 2000 DBV in the only thing you need is the validator.I have a 472 that has the same setup to convert mine.
