The MEI Talos T6 is Crane Payment Innovations' amusement-market validator and one of the most common acceptors in arcades, redemption games, and family entertainment centers across North America. If you are replacing a Talos unit in an amusement cabinet, this is almost always the family you are in.
We stock the T6 line across its full model range — T602, T611, T612, T631, T632, T642, T651, T654, T681, T682, T684, T6S2, T6T1, and T6T2 — and the suffix after the dash is what actually determines fit. Codes such as U5EUS, U5MUS, U3EUS, U7EUS, U10MUS, D5EUS, D5IUS, D7EUS, D7MUS, and D10EUS set the cash box style and interface configuration. Two units with the same model number and different suffixes are not interchangeable, so match the complete part number from the label on your existing validator.
Not sure which Talos you have? The full part number is printed on a label on the side of the head. Send it to us and we will confirm the exact match or the closest current equivalent before you order. Talos units built for vending equipment are on our Talos T7 Series page, and the T8 amusement models are on the Talos T8 Series page.
