What size are those connectors that plug together on the wiring harness between the terminal strip in the coin box to the Etowah Bolt on Bill Accepter? The wires pulled out of the connector on the female end. I am not getting any response from Etowah Valley as to the size, so I am looking elsewhere for the answer. Thanks for your help.

Swampdonkey,

If I read the above right, it seems like you just need the pins for the harness that comes with the MEI or the Coinco. They use identical harnesses. It seems that it is a Tyco 9 pin connector off the top of my head. If you go to an easily found MEI service document ... It says the exact brand & the exact pins for both the female & the male connector. It is probably a 1 day trip to you from Digikey ... like it is to us. Once you know the connector from the MEI document ... Digikey tech support can tell you the best interior pins to use. I think their tech support is 24/7 if I remember right. It is helpful to have some special crimping tools like we have ... but not absolutely necessary if you are careful. MEI & Coinco tech support both tend to very good in my experience.

I bought 6 of the add-on bill acceptor boxes from Etowah & we in house extended the pertinent existing harness wires coming out of the Coinco Vantages with another connecting harness with Molex Jrs to some very compact screwless terminals. I am not sure if Jim did something different for you on the beginning harness from the bill acceptor or not. I hope this helps!

thanks also. Always a chuckle when we talk on the phone trading war stories.
