A lot of stations no longer have anybody there. I'll bet the one in question is one of those. When the meatball card first happened and tokens died, I couldn't believe that they went with a magstripe reader in the first place. Anyone who's ever worked with tape recorders knows that heads get fouled just with the flakeoff of the media. Add a dirty environment to the equation and they'd better have a RAFT of techs assigned JUST to head cleaning.Magstripe readers NEED to be clean because the magnetic impulses on rush stripes are VERY weak. Anything that lifts the media away from the heads no matter how thin will cause data errors ... :( |
