Title: JCM-145-sh upgrade
Post by: waltervan on March 03, 2011, 11:52:30 PM
OK I have a VLC 8724 with a JCM 145 that works fine for $1 and old $5, unable to find any old $10, $20, $50, $100 from what I have read here this unit is unable to be updated. What other options do I have is there another DBV that will work for this machine. I am hoping to convert the Coin Mech over to tokens but if not I would like to be able to keep $100 in the hopper. I tried using quarters but the kids keep taking them.
Thanks
Walter

Get a JCM 200 or a WBA.
Before you ask....no and I don't know...lol

Telephone any of the vendors on top of the homepage for one.

Cool I found a few 200s on ebay should I buy the whole thing or will the 200 head work on a 145?

lol  It's NOT that easy....these units are specifically made for different machines.
Let's put it this way....The bill acceptor in your Pepsi machine down the hall
at the office - will not work in a slot machine in Las Vegas.

Motor from a Chevy made for the Volt will not work in a 1988 Chevy Camaro.
Like I said, call the vendors on top.
They don't bite and they know all about DBV's for your particular slot machine.


This is my advice to you....but if you want to waste your money on some Joe Blow on ebay that
doesn't know %$#@ about slot machines except to strip them with a screw driver and a pair of pliers and
charge you too much for shipping - by all means...GO RIGHT AHEAD!!!  :97- :72-

It would probably help if you posted exactly what is printed on your 145 head. That might help to determine which 200 you need.
