Thanks in advance . 2 questions. Does anyone know if someone sells nice cover plates for the bill heads on the s2000? I would like stainless steel similar to the front if possible. Also , Is it possible to remove the validator Comm error I get on power up . The machine I have is missing the validator and it comes up with the error and works after door open closure. Thanks! JR

Someone, I think stayoutadabunker, came up with a great idea to cover the BV opening... He fashioned a cover using a stainless steel wall socket plate cover if I remember correctly. It may be posted here somewhere.... I will look around.

As for the BV error, I think you may have to Key Chip the machine and disable the validator? You may be able to first try to search for netplex devices, maybe when it doesn't see it possibly it will disable it??? I have never tried.

Thanks for the help. Ill try the plates. I also need to remove a few buttons and need some stainless steel filler plates for the holes if they are around. thanks! JR

I had found some electrical plates that worked really well and look good.
Get the shiniest ones you can find at some Home Improvement place that
has a large variety of plates such as Lowe's or Home Depot.
Use the two screws that usually come with them to go through a flat bar of
about a length about an inch longer than the bill acceptor opening.
Drill a couple of holes into the flat bar for the screws.
Use a couple of nuts to hold it all in place.
If you fear it slides around too much, use a little square piece of double side
sticky tape like they use for plastic window covering.
Stick the square sticky's on the back of the metal bar and it
will adhere to the backside of the opening.
The bar will not slide around and it will hold your electrical plate in place!  :89-

Another cheap solution is a black piece of lexan or plastic that can be adhered with GooP
to cover the hole. Put a nice cool sticker or something if you want to "dress" up the black.
Maybe a nice game logo perhaps? What game do you have? Or a nice photoshopped IGT logo?
Goop comes off rather easily should you want to add a bill acceptor later on down the road.
It dries like rubber caulking and peels off the chrome door if you want pretty easily.

Thanks for the help! J
