01Oct2021 - RAH - Successful mail off! Super friendly staff! ! ALSO management mentioned they got a 3rd machine, but I only sent enough coins for the 2 confirmed machines.
4/3/2023 Changed Machine information. With Token machines, the Camel and Otter were not dispensing. Everything else seemed fine, maybe a little long but not bad. |
