Ha ha cheers for the heads up! I’ve already posted to Mecca but came across this post that seemed very similar to my issue.

Hi apologies to jump on the back of this old post but does anyone still have access to the Barcrest ROMS, in particular the MPU5 Doctors ‘n’ nurses (£25 jackpot horizon cabinet version)?

Thanks

Hi sorry to resurrect a very old post but I can see it was left open ended, did you manage to get the note acceptor to work with your doctors and nurses machine?

I’m currently having issues adding an NV10 USB note acceptor to the same machine - you mentioned you had a manual for doctors n nurses, I could do with having a copy to see if there is anything specific which may help troubleshoot my issue as it only appears to be with this machine…could you provide a link or scan a copy of the manual for me (happy to cover costs of needed)?

Thanks,
Pete

My particular issue and what I’ve tried so far:

When I add the note acceptor, it receives power (makes noise when starting up), but when I try and enter the default BNV key ‘123456’ I receive the message ‘BNV NO RESPONSE’.

I already own a Barcrest MPU5 Space Raiders machine which has helped me compare and test things, I’ve managed to add the same note acceptor to my Space Raiders machine without any issues.

This is what I have tried so far:

:: Reset the BNV key on the actual note acceptor to default 123456.

:: Checked the note acceptor operator mode and it’s set to CCTALK.

:: Compared and traced all wiring from hoppers and note acceptor between both machines - everything matches.

:: Swapped coin hopper from the working machine just in case that made a difference - no change.

:: Note acceptor loom definitely works as tested with Space Raiders machine. 

:: Switched DIP switches on one by one on both program card and main board, powering the machine off and on in between each test.

:: Tried 2 other NV10 USB note acceptors with the same result.

:: Changed to different interfaces and options on the note acceptor using configuration cards and a PC.

:: Connected an old Lumina Note Acceptor (on old notes) and that worked fine (same BNV key process).

:: Put the Space Raiders game card in to the Doctors ‘n’ Nurses machine and was able to add the NV10 USB note acceptor with no issues.

:: Because of the above, this made me think maybe there is an issue with the game card so purchased another doctors and nurses game card - made no difference. It is the same ROM version though son not sure if later versions would make a difference.
