I don't personally know how to program that machine or diagnose any problems that it may have, but you may want to call Bob Tomelicity over at Magellan. He is a former tech of theirs and we refer all of our clients, that have a Contact Systems machi

Hello Russ, I am from Contact Systems. It is 4:16 EST. Seriously though, I won't try to guess what happened with your attempt to contact us. It certainly is never our intention to avoid potential customers. You can contact me personally if you ne
