MACs were all around philly until they were replaced by bank ATMs. Growing up my parents would only refer to that thing as a MAC machine. I didn't realize how local of a thing it was until I moved to NEPA and only like 3 people knew what I was talking about

My Great Grandma called them Mac Machines! She was from Coatesville, maybe that's why.
