Re: Metcard equipment. Where does it go?
Thanks guys for the replies.
I'm visaging a dark warehouse with all these old machines thrown in the corner to be forgotten about, like W class trams. That's just my thoughts anyhow.
Who were the company who installed the Myki machines by the way?

Re: My new acquisition.
Nice find indeed! I've got a couple of these myself and found you can take that metal surround on the front off so as not to obscure the destination. I see you have done the same and put the roll in the other way round so the box sits flat.
