This bill acceptor will accept $1.00 bills but nothing else. Notice dip switch settings inside cover, is there a printout anywhere and can this be upgraded or is it better to just buy a newer acceptor? For home use...and i'm a newb trying to clean up an old machine for the home.

hi Taco ..
i am in a real hurry --for home use on a old machine the bill acceptor will most likely only take 1.00 bills or >>old money<<<
its in my opinion to costly to buy a brand new DBA for the machine since new money comes out so often past few yrs .and the bill acceptor would need to be a flash model to upgrade again and again -- set settings so 1.00 =100 cents catch my drift ..

also i would just set up a cherry switch to the credit button wires -- drill hole through cabinet and put on credits that way ..
by just touching the button several times simulates a bill taken in or a quarter drop etc .   

its cost about 2.00 tops for cherry switch and a colored button

as far as your other post of knocking off credits ?? if you have a new harness ?? there are in 99% of harness made just two grey wires to touch together or put two carriage bolts through cabinet in front or rear and cross them with a quarter .this will knock off your credits ..

make sure edge connector it plugged on tight and clean and gold fingers on both sides of board are clean !!

i will be back in 5 hrs

there are others who can chime in for help also !   R2733   ETC

Thanks again Rocket...will leave it as is then. As for the "knockoff" switch pin 21 to ground just makes the play buttons go out. All connections are fine. A vendor said that there may be a combo player bttn sequence built in the game?

uh...what kind of game?  :103-

Cherry Master 96SE Amuchine,Amcoe. After disassembling the bill acceptor It look like the board says VFM4-N but it's blurry. The credits thing is an ongoing problem.

Page 5 of this document has the dip switch settiings for the VFM4:
