We list only analog booths, but we haven't confirmed the machine details for this one. If you've used it, tell us what it is.
Do I need to book, or can I just walk up to The Smith Midtown?
Just walk up. It's a coin-op booth, not a hire service — no booking, no attendant. If the venue is open, the booth is on.
