Machine 5 located under the porch of the reptile house is pressing nice.
Machine 6 is located by the exit gate, across from the primate area. Pictures and arrow do not line up with the press. When lining up the arrow with a picture, machine is pressing the image of the next picture clockwise. (On a clock, arrow is pointing to the picture at 3, but pressing the picture at 6).
Machine 7 located outside the gift shop, before entering zoo, is pressing nicely.
