Quite a lot of servys have them, cambridge ones do....mimms, birch, baldock etc...

Don't EVER whack more than £20 in at a time though, i've seen a bloke whack £120 in, press the note button, and only £20 came out. Not enough notes in the machine, but no preventative mechanism to stop itself taking too many coins for its stock of notes. You don't get the coins back either!! Beware.

Had that happen to me! put £60 worth of coins in and only £20 note came out

Luckily it was in arcade so i managed to get the £40 that i was owed.

Cheers for that Matt - useful info.

When notes available, press '20' and it'll show £20.00 in LED, when no notes I think it says 1PND or similar. So press to check, then load £20 in.

I'd been bunging £100s in plus a few extra (as some always rejected), but now I'll be more careful.

I wonder if there's a reverse bug, put in £20 for coins, say only £10 left, it pays that £10 then chucks out the £20 as well - fat chance - these things are rigged!

We loaded the thing up 3 times to capacity the other night, don't think i'll risk it again after what i've read.
