Quoted from danczaz:I wont need anything?
Any validator you buy. Be sure the stacker holds 300 bills or less, or it won't fit. Most new validators come with 500 count holders or more.

Quoted from danczaz:Do you have a link to one with a stacker that holds 300 or less
No. Best check with who you buy it from.
MARS ( MEI ) stackers stay about the same. You can always find smaller stackers on Ebay and swap them. Some companies like ICT have changed them, so older smaller stackers won't fit.

Does this even come with a stacker?
Yes it has a stacker on the back. Check with Twisted to see how many bills it holds.

Quoted from Dr-Willy:Here is the cheapest refurb'd mars i have found so far.
https://www.vendingworld.com/mars-vn2511-bill-validator.php
$153 with the harness, and you can upgrade to a large 500 stacker for an extra $25, I would double check to make sure it comes with a 300 stacker if you dont upgrade to the 500 as it does not specify.
Only takes $1's - won't accept larger denomination bills. You might not need $20's, but 5's and 10's are nice.

Quoted from Aniraf:Is there a setting inside of the Spike 2 menu that enables the bill validator?
No. The setting just turns on or off the message on the screen.

Quoted from Aniraf:I am trying to install PayRange devices and they don’t seem to get any power from the 9 pin as it is.
Pin 9 is usually 12 VDC neutral. I don't think you get power there.
You should from pin 5 ( 12 VDC + ) to pin 9.
LTG : )
Quoted from Aniraf:Yeah, but the guy just plugs it into the 9 pin then says “done”. I assume that game has 120 at the door?
You assumed right. It's a World Cup Soccer. Williams was including the 9 pin connector for 120 AC in pinball machines around then.
LTG : )
Quoted from Aniraf:nd pin 6 is what?
For 120 AC.
Pin 4 is the other 120 AC.
Have you searched for bill validator 9 pin pinouts ? There are pdf manuals on line with this.
LTG : )
Quoted from Aniraf:If you wanted 12VDC where do you pull that from?
It should be on the 9 pin connector already. If you have a 12 volt DC bill validator it's plug and play on Stern Spike games.
Quoted from Aniraf:Also wouldn’t you have to repin the connector to work with a different voltage?
No.

Quoted from Aniraf:If you wanted 12VDC where do you pull that from?
The Stern Harness.
Sorry, I didn't have a Stern Harness to check until the picture was posted. It comes with a new 9 pin connector wired for 12 volts.
LTG : )
Quoted from DugFreez:I'm not really getting this either....
Quoted from DugFreez:I had just assumed the +12v DC bill validators plugged straight into the CN9 connection.
I hadn't seen the Stern Harness until you posted the picture. The 12 volts is coming off the new 9 pin connector with that harness.
I'm sorry I made a mistake. I thought wrongly the new Stern harness was for 120AC.
Thank you for helping clear things up.

Quoted from KenLayton:I went to my friends house with camera in hand. I can confirm Elvira's House of Horrors LE, Munsters Pro, and Iron Maiden Pro all come from the factory wired for 120 volts ac bill acceptors and have coin doors with the full sized bill acceptor hole in the door. This allows any upstacker or stackerless bill acceptor to physically mount to the coin door.
There is nothing in connector position pins 5 and 9 (where 12 volt dc power would be).
These machines conform to Mars/MEI wiring standards for 120 volt ac bill acceptors.
Thank you Ken !
