My favourite machine name is TIMTronic - ticket issuing machine electronic. It was a bus ticket machine made and sold by Almex control systems. It had 7 segment LED displays and mechanical keys and mechanical (not thermal) printer, and was huge. Bus drivers would push coins into them to short out the machine, thus allowing them to use hand-written emergency tickets which had much weaker auditing.
