I've got an IJ that I'm looking to install a DBV in. After custom cutting a MARS faceplate I discovered that there wasn't a cutout in the playfield to allow an upstacker!

From what I've managed to find in other posts, IJ only shipped with a Coin Controls door that accepted a Dixie Narco USA-3 (and maybe USA-15) bill validator. That's it. Yes I can get a MARS to fit but unfortunately, the door won't close due to the main issue of there not being a cutout in the playfield.

I'll happily pick up a Dixie Narco if it'll fit without a notch cutout in the playfield. Maybe they're a little shorter than the MARS acceptors? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

Quoted from LTG:

Can you get a thinner stacker ? A 200 capacity one ?

Tried with the small 200 capacity one - no dice.

Quoted from Coyote:

Has to go in the top coin door cutout, and like LTG days, no stacker

Thanks for the responses. If the coin door had an upper cutout this would have been a whole lot easier as I could have at least dropped an old MARS dumper in there. To do this, I'll have to put in a different coin door.

Still curious about the Dixie Narco upstacker, and if it'd actually fit.

Thanks for the info, guys! Ken - I reviewed your great thread on WPC bill validators as there was a ton of great info in there.

I've decided to just take the plunge and grab an Ardac USA3, as the one pictured looks shorter than a MARS stacker. I've already got the 9-to-12 pin connector adapter so with any luck it'll just be plug and play, and fit in place. Plus, the sticker on the inside is labeled with STKR so supposedly this stacker will work. We shall see.... I'll update this thread in a week or so!

SUCCESS! Got an Ardac (Dixie-Narco) USA3 upstacker model. Rebuilt it with new belts and cleaned it up. It fit perfectly into the door, and it closes with about 1/4" clearance underneath the playfield. No coin door mangling required.

I was surprised at how easy the Ardac was to maintain. Yeah, it sounds a little clunkier than the MARS units, but replacing all 4 belts was literally a 10 minute job. Cleaning of the bill path and acceptance lights can even be done while it's still mounted in the coin door.
