mightymouse2275 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Hey all! Well..I have to say that I am pumped! I was surfing Craigslist the other night and came across a post with an "Atari Kiosk" for sale. I checked it out and talked with the guy. It appears to be an IMAGIC store kiosk that he got out of an old K-Mart. It had been sitting for 26 years in his storage locker and he decided to sell some stuff. Suffice to say we struck a deal and it is now home with me along with some games. It needs a good cleaning but it appears to be complete. All stickers are intact and clear. Looking at the S/N it looks to be #2,603? Are there any others here in the forum that own one and what are your thoughts? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I have one, I think Albert has 2 or 3, his are even modded with a custom AA logo. Good find, if you got it for a song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtengaGames Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Cool find but I didn't think Imagic had released enough games to fill that thing up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krslam Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Congratulations! I have one of those, also a craigslist find from a few years ago. Not especially useful, but very cool to have. Have you fired it up yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Nice find! Give it careful cleanup and you have a great piece of video game history to show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trade-N-Games Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Great find! I passed on one over 15 years ago in a pile of junk no knowing what it was. Since then I have added a very nice one to my collection. Welcome to the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightymouse2275 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Thanks everyone! I feel I got it for a good price. The guy even threw in some Atari Wireless Joysticks and the control box! The plan now is to meticulously clean 26 years of dirt out of it, check all wiring and solder points and then fire it up! I'll post more as things progress!

+Nathan Strum Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Nice! Pretty dirty, but looks like the clear plastic cover is in pretty good shape. Nice that you have the lock and key, too. Mine's missing its lock. I picked one up on vacation over 10 years ago (hard to believe it's been that long). The wood had been hacked and still needs repair. It's an interesting piece of history to have, but I don't think I've plugged it in since shortly after I got it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rom Hunter Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I'll post more as things progress! Please do. Curious how it will look like in its new shape. Here's the ad, btw: http://www.atarimania.com/pubs/hi_res/imagic_game_previewer_ad.jpg Edited October 9, 2015 by Rom Hunter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Innit Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I think those Imagic kiosks were in shops here in the UK. A shop in Hastings called Debenhams use to sell Atari stuff and they had a kiosk just like that. Whether it was Imagic or not I don't know, but that looks pretty darn close to what I am remembering. I'd love to get hold of one as its one of my favourite memories from buying games back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildBillTX Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Cool find but I didn't think Imagic had released enough games to fill that thing up. I remember these kiosks at my local K-Mart and TG&Y in the early 80's. They always had a combination of different manufacturers games. I also remember they also had a timer that would only let you play the game for just a few minutes, then the console would reset.

high voltage Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) There were two on ebay DE recently (well, sort of recent), as US version made to work with transformer and a German version. One I got outbid the other went sky high. Edited October 14, 2015 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high voltage Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Well just looking at the picture, it was really a US version too, just 220V and a Euro plug, and a German shop sticker Edited October 14, 2015 by high voltage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
