10/5/24 Update info.
Machine 1 is located outside the west side of the Borax Museum. Machine is broken. Coin slide stuck.
Machine 2 is located outside the Borax Museum facing Town Square. Working fine.
Machine 3 is also located outside the Borax Museum facing Town Square. Machine is broken. Coin slide stuck.
Machine 5 is in the General Store by the door leading outside. Network connection make this machine unreliable. I used my tap card once & nothing happened. Tried again & turned the handle to find out it is out of preloaded pennies. I was charged twice for the pennies. Nice lady at the counter had pre-rolled designs that she gave me & said she would hang an "Out of Order" sign on the machine. RKY |
