I guess the Rowe changers really do not like crappy bills. Actually, I wonder if the 2 people were surprised that it ate these crappy bills? Both changers were jammed with the error message CK TRANSPORT VF.

See my notes Rowe Bill Changers “ BC100, 10, 200, 1200, 1400, 2800 and 3500. Often bad belts and/or no lubrication can effect the return of the bill. Also check stacker alignment.
The wirees should be in a clip on the right hand screw of the mag head. This keeps the wires insdie the rack You can see the metal clip has been pulled up and cannot hold the wires in place.
