Would love any info or link to a manual/wiring diagram for these bill validators. I know which to wires are the power, what I need to know are which wires are for the coin microswitch and correct dip switch settings for 4 pulses.

Thank you for your time.

About all I could find is your unit is made by:

Coin Bill Validator, Inc

367B Bay Shore Road

Deer Park, N.Y. 11729

No phone number could be located and I think this company is out of business or else got bought out by another company. I think your bill acceptor was manufactured in the mid 1990's. This unit was used on a lot of video poker and video slot machines back then. I suggest you check out the forums at New Life Games and post on their forums:

I think this is the first item I cannot find anything about on the internet. Company out of business. Dr. Google has failed me.
 
Same here. I remember seeing the name Coin Bill Validator on several video poker machines back in the 90's. Nobody has any manuals or information that I could find. I guess the company went tits up. I did see the company did get awarded several patents on their bill acceptors.

I wonder if this is one of the companies that Mars Electronics successfully sued for patent infringement back in the late 90's?
 
Researching Vending machine Currency Validator M-125-5 and found this older msg stream. I have (2) Kodak One-Time-Use camera and film vending machines I purchased in 1996. I have had them in storage for 20 years now. I am working to restore and noted the Currency Validator will accept bills, but then immediately expels them. Looking for any guidance or a manual for assistance.

Bill validators get updated to include newly designed bills, but in your case, the company went out of business long ago.
Yours will probably only work with bills from that era, and reject anything that has changed in design (it just doesn't know what they are).

Unless the unit is broken, a $1 bill should work, as it hasn't changed.

I'd just replace it with a newer bill acceptor.

In its first redesign since 1996, the new-design $100 note features additional security features including a 3-D Security Ribbon and color-shifting Bell in the Inkwell. The new-design $100 note also includes a portrait watermark of Benjamin Franklin that is visible from both sides of the note when held to light.

The new-design $5 note features subtle background colors of light purple and gray. The $5 note includes an embedded security thread that glows blue when illuminated by UV light. Two watermarks are featured in the $5 note, which are visible from both sides of the note when held to light. A vertical pattern of three numeral 5s is situated to the left of the portrait and a large numeral 5 is located in the blank space to the right of the portrait.

Interesting and great insight. I had not considered this as being an issue. I will try the $1 to see if this confirms the problem with the currency device.

I now need a compatible alternative. Any straight swap out for the M-125-5?

Problem #2....the machine was designed to dispense change in the form of Susan B Anthony dollar coins. These coins are no longer minted. I have not been able to locate a local bank that stock any type of dollar coins.
I feel to be truly functional it would be ideal to convert the machine to use a Card reader but not aware of anyone in my Raleigh, NC area that could assist in making this possible.
 
Dollar coins are still being produced, but with different faces. I had an SBA (Susan B Anthony) coin mech in a jukebox, and it took the current $1 coins just fine. YMMV

Dispensing those newer $1 coins, though, should be trivial for the mechanism in there because of the size similarity.
 
Thank you for the follow up....
So, now that I know alternate dollar coins will work and my Currency Validator only accepts $1 bills, I need insight on if there is a "plug and play" replacement for my current validator device, or if anyone has insight to convert my machine to a card reader.

Are there any skilled techs in North Carolina to evaluate my machines electronics and adapt for a card reader? Thx/Len
