Quoted from fridgejam:Hi, I am hoping somebody can help me out with some info on installing Bill Acceptors into Stern Spike (1&2) games.
I'm based in Australia so I'll need to go with a unit that I can install and program to our local currency easily. I have my eye on this unit because it is not expensive which means (if it works) I can afford to put these into a few of my games - https://www.innovative-technology.com/shop/bank-note-validators/bv20-bill-acceptor-detail
This unit runs off 12v power. I am assuming this plugs into the game somewhere near where the coin mech does. Can anybody tell me where the Bill acceptor should be plugged into, and if (like the coin mech) 12v power is supplied via this input, or I need to tap this from somewhere else?
The games comes with a cable that connects to a plug in the metal box where the service outlet is located. The other end of that cable connects to a dba.
There is also a connection that can be made I believe off CN9 by the coin door (left side) where you can grab 12v.
