Description
Genuine Vendo (SandenVendo) main control board, pulled from a working V21-series soda vending machine and bench tested. Powers up with a healthy heartbeat LED. The 12.4 Rev 16 firmware on this board is a newer revision than the standard cashless-upgrade chip (12.1 Rev 35) sold elsewhere — meaning this board is already credit card / MDB cashless ready out of the box. No EPROM upgrade required.

Programming Note (please read before purchase):
The 12.4 controller uses a 4-button programming system. If your machine originally shipped with a 3-button 12.1 firmware, the programming menu navigation will differ from your inner-door label. Function is identical — just the menu sequence is different. The V21 service manual covering the 12.4 programming menu is freely available online.
