I started feeling like a carwash owner today.

So my Rowe change machine bill acceptor belts melted the other day. After scouring the internet to find replacements they finally came in. I replaced them all. Probably one of the hardest tasks I’ve ever completed since there was no diagram to go by or old belts to take off. But when I reinstalled the acceptor now I get a reject speed code and a late reject. Anyone know what’s going on?

I hate to tell you this. The best advice I can give is to get rid of the BA-50 validator and get a Mars validator conversion kit. Or better yet get rid of the Rowe changer and get something better. There is a lot more to replacing the belts on the BA-50 validator. We won't service them anymore, does that tell you anything.

Damn man!!!! Where can I find this mars conversion kit you speak of? I’m trying to do cryptopy on everything so I don’t think my changer demands are going to be crazy once I go to CC.

We will have a nice Hamilton RNS with a Mars conversion kit (from Randy) in it for sale in the near future.

Been dealing with Chad over at Wacthor electronics and converted my change machine. I couldn’t be happier with the results and the service those guys provided me with.

Now all you need to do is put on new sticker to brighten it up and make it look new. It'll have to be a custom made decal.

 

[FastLaneCarWash]

I’ve been thinking about just painting it.

As a minimum I’d polish the front of the changer and clean up or have the bezel chromed so it looks like a million bucks. A nice colorful lexan decal would also make it look nice.

Who do you recommend buying the mars conversion kit? Thank you.

It depends on the manufacture and model of your Bill Changer. Is it a American, Rowe or a Hamilton? It might also be time to upgrade your Bill Changer.

We have the rowe bc-200 & bc-1400 machines. Bc-50 inside

we clean them every day and have changed the cables. But, they are still annoying!

You might be better off replacing the bill changers, it might be less expensive.

I've worked with Chad and Larry for over 15 years. They are awesome for service!

I can help you with a replacement MEI when the time comes. You will sleep better knowing the uptime on your changer will be 99% . Http://american-changer.com I'm happy to help!

The Rowe Mars conversion kit is WAY!! overpriced.

Best guys I’ve dealt with so far as for customer service and handling everything prompt. Everyone is scared to make money these days.

I have a BC 1400 that is annoying to say the least.

I also have a Standard Bill Changer BCX1010RL that I'm happy with for the most part.

What is the changer(s) people would want to consider in replacing these problematic Rowe's?

Hamilton, with Mars validators.
