I have a megatouch, and the dollar bill acceptor (mars) is older. Is there anyway to upgrade it to accept new 5's without buying a new DBA?
 
Depends on which bill acceptor you have. If its a Mars AE 2411, it can be flashed with new software if the first 3 digits of the serial number are atleast 409. Mars started manufacturing the flash port style the 40th week of 1999. If its before this date stamp, you must change the pcbs.
 
awhilem back i saw some ics that ou could bu to convert some older ones...

however they cant be super old..

get the model then google search that model and the word upgrade..

if theres a kit out there youll find it.
 
Actually, I just read a sticker on the side of the dollar bill compartment that says "New currency ready"!! So I guess I should get a new 5 and test it.
 
I have the new $5 upgrade for the Cash Code Validators, for my job, and I would get fired if I gave them away........LOL

We have the Mars one too, locked up at work, because its too easy to waste the upgrades.

I am joking here and I will not risk my job doing any upgrades under the table.
