sirlynxalot Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Cool, nice to see stuff like this get repaired instead of thrown out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Love it, they did an amazing job! It is interesting to note the early versions of the JagCD he posted with January 95 date and what or why exactly it took a full 9-months for it to hit production. I forget when Minter actually completed the VLM (I know it was mentioned in an interview somewhere) but just imagine the Jaguar CD having been manufactured immediately after and being available as early as February or March at latest, before the PS1 instead of 20 days after the PS1 release. What were they even doing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Dangerous Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Really nice work; cool proto/dev Jag CD unit too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isgoed Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Very nice to see these repairlogs. And the Jaguarkiosk is still badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeatari1 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I saw one of these for sale locally about 10 or 12 years ago and I always kick myself for not picking it up. I remember the guy wanted around $250 for it with monitor and controller but no Jag. I passed because I thought he was crazy for asking that much at the time and I had just bought a house. Oh well, hopefully it found a good home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsquireFox Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Didn't expect to find this posted here. I'm glad the Atari faithful approve of the result. I'll be trying to track down a monitor for it now, so you'll see me panhandling in the Wanted forum, haha. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I think I remember reading that the monitor was something that was also used for other products, maybe some kind of Atari ST monitor? If so, at least that might make it a little easier to find than something that was a one off for the kiosk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg2600 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Damn that looks great! I believe there's a C64 monitor that fits in there as well. I honestly forget what we did for the one at Digital Press, which is now at the NVGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlynxalot Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) Old posts in this forum suggest the monitor for the kiosk is an ST monitor with the model number 1435. There are internal Atari emails discussing allowing for swapping out/in the 1224 ST monitor, though people here don't think the 1224 monitor was ever officially provided with the kiosk and that its a lesser quality monitor than the 1435. Of course there must be a number of other monitors or TVs that could fit in the nook and look good, perhaps for less money.

EsquireFox Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I do have the original SC1435 monitor for it, but it came with a shattered tube neck. I may be able to get the monitor going again with a tube swap, but I'm not really sure what tubes could be compatible, nor if there are other problems with the monitor. The SC1435 is the Atari version of the Phillips CM8833 MK II, and there is a Commodore version as well in the 1084S D1, D2, and P1 models. Since the SC1435 is apparently quite rare, I'm hoping to find one of the Commodore monitors. Anyone of them should fit and run well in the kiosk though. If there are any other RGB compatible displays I could use, I'd be open to exploring those options as well. I have a PVM-14M2MDU, but unfortunately, that one is much too long to fit in the kiosk, and my PVM-1390 is too wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddyBuddies Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Looks great! Looks like the very first kiosk I purchased years ago. Lol. Edited January 2, 2021 by BuddyBuddies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awbacon Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Damn that looks clean. I wish I had those skills...electrical repair definitely but when it comes to plastics / paints / wood...man I just cannot do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EsquireFox Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Swinging back in to provide an update on the restoration. I had some help from one of my father's co-workers (with access to industrial supplies and equipment) to fabricate a replacement for the missing diamond sheet metal base: I also managed to track down a working 120V 60Hz Atari SC1435 monitor. With that, the restoration is finally complete: 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlynxalot Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Can the plastic with the jaguar eyes and game cover holders come off to make the kiosk narrower? Or is it all bolted onto the wood and not easily removable? Edited March 23, 2021 by sirlynxalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is screwed into place with three screws on each side. If you remove the plastic shell, you end up with a plain wood cabinet featuring a slab of acrylic covering the monitor, the insides completely exposed, and speakers bolted to the sides. The shell isn't really optional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHATEIT Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I've seen your pics on Facebook on the Video Game Kiosk and Display Collectors page. That thing is absolutely gorgeous and I like many others would love to have a Jag Kiosk. Oh to have known many years ago and bought one to have. Alas the only Kiosk I have is a PS1 Kiosk which will have to do as the Jaguar and Virtual Boy Kiosks (my 2 favorite consoles) are insanely priced and out of reach!

sirlynxalot Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Any idea what the kiosk weighs with all pieces in place? The wood, the metal plate and the monitor ought to add a bunch of weight, but is it under 200 lbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood, the metal plate and the monitor ought to add a bunch of weight, but is it under 200 lbs? I don't have an exact weight measurement, but I can give you an estimate. Comparing it against a Donkey Kong cabinet (225 lbs), the Jaguar kiosk has a thinner body, less depth, and a smaller tube. The sheet metal base, plastic shell, and other internals don't add too much weight. I'd say it ought to be around 150 lbs. That said, the top half is simply attached to the base with a set of four bolts. It's easy to disassemble and can ultimately be moved by a single person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
