Welcome to New Life Games partee!

Some people take it apart and give the old black rubber belts a
quick boil in the pot on the stove to soften them up a bit like they were
when they were brand new - uh, .....about 20 years ago!!! lol

If you don't want to take it all apart, see if you can get in there with some
cotton swabs and clean the heck outta them old belts...money is dirty, dirty, dirty!
Mixed with cigarette smoke, stale hot air, and various bodily oils from greasy palms and
who-knows-what- they usually have a thick film of gummish-looking black GUNK on the belts.
Plus the belts are probably WAY past their expected lifetime usage!

Oh! You should said so before !  (oops...you did...my bad...lol)

Okay, check ALL THE WIRES coming outta that puppy!
Something might be somewhat disconnected at a joint especially where they go into the connectors.
Remove the connectors off their pins and shove them back on....
sometimes that gives the pins a new spot to shoot power through.
Oxidization of the pins causes intermittent crazy power outages.
It's also possible the motor is shot too...
Do you have another machine to throw this into ( swapping parts really ) to see if it works?

try an old bill and see what happens

hello karma do you know how t enable the bill validator?

You need the proper SET chip.
But first you need to know what you SP is.
Here's how to find out what you have in your machine>>>>

That link is awesome, Mark -- I don't know why I never knew of it.  It makes explaining to the n00bs how to find their SP and SS chip numbers a LOT easier.  K+ for you.  :3-

It's part of Rick's FAQ files and has been with us for years. Maybe we all ought to start referring more newcomers to the FAQ button so that they can explore all of its contents.

It has to be enabled already or it wouldn't even try to take the bills.  Try specifically a $1 bill and post back what happens...

How exactly do you know the transport motor doesn't turn on?  Are you saying that just because it won't take the bill?
