kevinz3451,
you can buy new validators that accept $5 bills, but I am not sure about the machines pc boards to work with them. The service manuals should be able to tell you, we have them here on our website: Rowe 548 - http://www.vend-resource.com/book/rowe-food-548-service-manual-parts-cat...
National 430 - http://www.vend-resource.com/book/national-430-shoppertron-set-manual
Hope this helps,

I just acquired a National 430, and the validator accepts 1s and 5s, so I know it can be done. See page 2-24 in the manual -- it could be as simple as setting the option to make it accept 5s.
The Rowe 548 requires adapter cable 60016548 to convert to a VN2501 or AE2601. The Natl 430 usually already has a VFM3 on it so a VN2521 (VN2501 or AE2601 with a "flush mount" bezel) is what is required along with a plate VExchange sells - part# 4305022. If you purchase used VN series validators, make sure they are the later "Flashport" models, otherwise they will not take the newer $5 bills. We at www.coinvalparts.com have most everything you need. Hope this helps.
To all:
See my posts regards converting the 430 to MDB to accept CC
