5/24/2026: Machine is still on the other side of the ticket counter. They let me use it even without paying for entry. However the coin entry mechanism is jammed, I didn’t have enough time to try and fix it, but I took the back panel off the machine and I saw one of the springs was dislocated. This machine is still there it just needs to be fixed. So currently it’s out of order.
6/26/26: still out of order
