+The current PIU has a dual head, 3-track magstripe reader.
|
|
|
|
|
+As of this writing, single head 3-track USB magstripe readers sell for around $15.
|
|
|
|
|
+I see some alternatives on Aliexpress and Alibaba that are in the range of $10 in
|
|
|
|
|
+single units and $6 in quantity 5k+.

+Dual head, 3-track magstripe USB readers sell for around $60 on Amazon and Ebay.

|
|
|
|
|
+The possible solutions to this are:
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+* Use the $60 'off-the-shelf' solution
|
|
|
|
|
+* Buy two USB off-the-shelf single head USB readers and make a housing
|
|
|
|
|
+ via 3d printing, say, to put both heads in for 1/3 to 1/6 the cost.
|
|
|
|
|
+* Live with single head magstripe reader
