I have a Dixie Narco USA 15 and it takes bills very sluggishly. Sounds like it's battery is dying. Funny thing is it doesn't use batteries, as you know. How hard is it to replace belts or rebuild a bill acceptor?

Dixie-Narco Up Stack Acceptor 15

ondeckdean,
that is one OLD bill acceptor. It runs slugish because it is probably older than you! First buy a validator cleaning card (about $2) and it through 1/2 dozen times, if that doesn't work I would suggest a used or rebuilt Coinco BA-30, about $50 or $75 respectively.
However if you really want spend more money fixing than replacing, I suggest going over to: http://www.coinvalparts.com/
they MIGHT have parts for a validator that old. They are also real helpful about how to take apart and repair validators. When it comes to coin mech or validator issues here we usually recommend just replacing.
Good luck to you.

Coinco BA30?

I have a BA30SA and it doesn't work. Did you mean a BA30B?

BA30SA or BA30B

ondeckdean,
if your BA30SA is in working condition it will work in a single-price (110v) soda machine. Since you are using a USA-15 you soda machine almost has to be single-price. When you change from your USA-15 to another validator you will need a new wiring harness. For the BA30 (SA or B) you will need a BA30 Single-Price Adapter Harness. It should looks like the picture below. They are available from any one of several vending machine suppliers on the web.
