I don't know of anything right off. If possible, you might consider putting the CC machine at the highest demand store then when someone pays with a CC at the other store, have the employee call the store with the CC machine and have them run the card manually thru the machine.

Can you not get the bank or service that your CC machine is connected to provide a temp machine?
