Administrators Brad Posted December 3, 2016 Administrators Share Posted December 3, 2016 Picked this up from the Trading Section here a month or so ago and thought I'd share the conversion. Not a lot a detail as most of it is self-explanatory. 1 - Original look. Actually I forgot to take a picture of this one (I bought 2 different ones together) so this is a sample which actually looks better than the one I got. 2 - Inside has the power supply, PC, tiny little speakers, a receipt printer plus extra optical drive and memory card readers. Also the unit was pretty filthy with dust. 3 - Power Supply and tinny right hand speaker. 4 - Rear of device with extra power options 5 - Tore out the printer 6 - This left plenty of room for a sub and a pair of satellites that actually fit in too 7 - Took PC out and stripped everything down for cleaning including taking the door off. 8 - Sprayed the door fascia with navy blue enamel spray paint. The cabinet itself is in really good shape so I left that colour as cream and just cleaned it all and removed stickers etc. 9 - Put everything back together, took out excess wiring, cable tied, strapped down and speakers fitted. The speakers can be brought outside of the cabinet if desired. I had the satellites out and the sub in and it sounds really good. Inside also sounds fine. If I was going to keep this one I'd put higher wattage speakers as when on full they distort however that is REALLY loud so not really an issue just me being fussy. 10 - I re-purposed the original front panel, drilling in a speaker grill then covering the lot with speaker fabric before remounting. It looks really nice imo. 11 - I rebuilt the PC from scratch with a fresh install. I then included a TONNE of touchscreen pub, quiz, slots and other games along with Simple Touch FE. Haven't bothered sorting out the menu system yet. Not sure I will. I then installed imo the best Touchscreen Album Jukebox software around E-Touch Jukebox. Here is the final result. https://www.harmoniseit.com/images/fuji15/12_video_fuji15.mp4 Damn not sure why the sideways look. I pre-rotated and my PC has them the right way. I hate phones.

David_AVD Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Nice work Brad. I have a few of those kiosks lurking around upstairs at work. The screen backlights on mine are knackered though so I've never got around to doing anything more with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Brad Posted December 4, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted December 4, 2016 Yeah I'm not sure if it would be worth it of the touchscreen is kaput unless you picked up a cheapie off ebay or something. They make an excellent easily portable jukebox though! Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxd Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi Brad, What os are you running ? I have the same/similar and was about to upgrade the HDD (bigger one) and was concerned about the driver for the touch screen. cheers Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Brad Posted December 5, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted December 5, 2016 I also upgraded the HDD to a 1TB one. This machine is a little older and was running Win XP. I just did a fresh install of XP on it. Any more and I reckon it might struggle a little. Just don't connect it to the internet would be my recommendation. The current ELO drivers support XP up to Windows 7 from memory and then they have newer ones for 8 and 10. Might actually be an all in one driver if I remember correctly.

Administrators Brad Posted March 11, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just an update. When I bought this I actually bought 2 but the second one was a newer model. I'm keeping this new one and will sell the one above. The new one runs windows 7 and has a 17" monitor. The conversion process was pretty much the same as above so I won't repeat other than show you a final result. I used copper metallic paint for the edging and satin black for the middle. Used speaker cloth for the lower part of the front. I just need to put a decent set of speakers in now and all complete. Again running E-Touch but the latest versions integrate online searching, streaming so wanted a more secure OS. Cheers, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Brad Posted March 11, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted March 11, 2017 WOW ...that looks awesome!! Love the paint job Thanks mate! I originally had the edges as Black and the interior as red. It looked like arse so had a look around and went with this. Pretty happy with the result.

Administrators Brad Posted April 10, 2017 Author Administrators Share Posted April 10, 2017 I just went to the ELO site from memory and grabbed the appropriate driver: http://support.elotouch.com/download/Drivers/DriverDownload/ As for other software, depends on what you're after? Jukebox Software is: http://www.freeboxjukebox.com/ SimpletouchFE homepage appears down at the moment. Use this link: http://www.arcadepunks.com/simpletouch-fe-skins-user-made-skins/ A lot of "interesting" stuff can be found here and sub-links: http://www.arcadepunks.com/download-pc-touchscreen-apps/ I'm not sure what you're googling but there's a shit tonne out there. :unsure Brad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyj965 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 As my kiosk was in the same batch I figured I'd post a couple of pics in this thread rather than start a new one. Obviously Brad (and nearly everyone else) gets things done a lot quicker than me [emoji16] Painted mine with a black body, metallic red trim and metallic charcoal facade. Only just installed e-touch so I'll see how it goes. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwimex Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Hi guys, great work all of you on the conversions. Ive been chasing an old poke machine to do the same but have had no luck finding a suitable candidate....after seeing these photo kiosks im now thinking this maybe the way to go. Been having a look around but cant find any except for one around the $900.00 . seems a bit excessive to me........Are there any kiosks out there for sale at a reasonable price? Cheers In advance Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
