Title: Swapping a WBA12 to a WBA13, machine shows comm error
Post by: Amachanic on April 07, 2013, 05:08:37 PM
I have a question... I picked up two WBA13 bill acceptors to replace my WBA12's.. When I installed it and powered up my S2K, the acceptor didn't cycle or light up.. The display then said comm error bill acceptor? Do I need to flip any switches on the WBA13? They look to be all in the off position as are the ones on my WBA12 I removed? Both of them give me the same error message, that's why I think I need so do something for the machine to recognize the WBA13 Bill Acceptor..

Thanks Gary

What chip is in the bill acceptor? If it's an oo3 it's for bally.
IGT takes Id 024. Try swapping from you old acceptor.

You can swap the chips as long as one of them is not flashed

Both of these WBA13's have the same 003 chip software, not 024. I bought these so I didn't have to send the whole WBA12 acceptor in the be re-flashed since they don't have the EPROM chip. I guess I can do them up with the 3.75 software, since I don't have 3.80.
