Product Overview
The CPI (formerly MEI) Talos bill validator is a next-generation bill acceptor that is a direct replacement for all other existing MEI 2000 series models. The particular Talos model in this listing comes with a new bezel style (Talos #S mid-entry), that was not used on the outgoing 2000 series models. The only validator opening on a host machine that this new bezel design is likely to fit (as of 2022) would be a standard 3"x4" (approximate measurements) hole. This hole size is common on most MDB interface vending machines made after the year 2000, so this validator is likely to fit your machine. If you are unsure about which Talos model to buy for your machine for any reason, please call us at 970-623-1272, we will figure it out for you!
All bezels and bill boxes from MEI 2000 Series validators will fit any Talos bill validator, and vice versa.
