  1. It does. Were you able to get into the top compartment? I noticed the lock still on. Mine didn't have the key to any of the locks so I had to drill one of them out. I want to get new ones, but tracking down the size has been tricky. When I got into the top compartment I found the original screw drivers to the kiosk, which was cool to see.
  2. Cool! I was able to get into the top section and found the bulb was burned out. Bulb is also burned out in the console area too. I'll probably buy a new fixture that is LED instead for the top just for heat and power reasons. Does your Xbox have any kiosk-y markings? Mine was just a used GameStop console from the price sticker that was stuck to it. How is the console hooked up? The reset button connects to a box with an S-VHS out plug and then has an S-video plug coming out of it. Do your lights in the tubes pulse or are they solid? Mine pulse and I wasn't sure if that's normal as other ones I've seen are solid.
  3. It's for the games that he doesn't like any more...
  4. Hello everyone! It has been quite a time for me in the last few years. Life hit me pretty hard leading me to sell my entire collection and I dropped off the map. After some reflection and thought I am slowly dipping my toes back into collecting starting with my favorite system and maybe branching out from there. Yesterday I came across a post on Facebook marketplace that seemed to be a positive omen for my desire to get back into the collecting scene. I reached out to the lady and was able to secure this beauty for what I thought was a great price. Got it sort of working...it has a couple bulbs that are burned out, and it came with a modded console that shuts off after 30 seconds. Not sure why. I still need to drill out the tubular locks and replace them as they didn't have a key. Also need to get some replacement controllers to swap out since the ones on there are trashed. Lady I got it from said her nephew worked at Best Buy back in the day and saved it from being sent back/scrapped, took it to her house, and it's been there ever since. I should also add this thing is probably 7ft tall and weighs like 300lbs. I was by myself with a hand truck and this was on the second floor of this lady's house. I took it one step at a time and scooted my butt down each stair trying not to drop this thing as it went down each step. By far the heaviest gaming item I have owned, and I previously owned the other version of the Xbox kiosk when I lived in AZ. My question is, does anyone have this version and can help me understand the function/setup of the wires in the kiosk/ how to get the reset button to work? Or why the Xbox shuts off so quickly? Thanks in advance.
  5. Aside from my childhood stuff, my mint CIB copy of James Buster Douglas for the SMS. I needed ernest money for our upcoming house purchase at the time so it was a needed sale, but I still miss it.
  6. Honestly it's a tie between Yoshi's Island and Halo 2. Different nostalgic memories/periods in life and I played the heck out of those two.
  7. Been discovering all the 80s songs that have been ripped off by other artists in the 90s and later edm DJs in the 00s. I know sampling has been going on forever, but my naive child-self feels like it has been lied to all these years...lol
  8. I like it! It's the best in it's price range and the sounds are pretty darn good. The td50k is pretty sweet, just too pricey for me
  9. My wife and I wanted a king, but she had some physical issues from the birth of our second kid. We ended up getting two XL twin mattreses with adjustable bases so we can each have our own incline, but still have a king size bed. Spent about a grand on everything during Mattress Firm's labor day sale
  10. Gotta get the flesh crust off some how!
  11. Been playing the drums since I was young. Since having two kids and currently being stuck in a small apartment I sold my 9XS bike and MBR/SR to get a Roland 17kvx. Sad to see the Exertainment stuff go, but the drums will get a lot more use!
  12. Joined NA in Phoenix, moved to MN, then to WI, now in the Houston, TX area where I have joined here!
  13. Gyarados. Since it evolves from Magikarp, it's the ultimate "be careful who you make fun of in high school..." Lol
  14. Hi! Trying to keep up with the NA drama. Haven't really been super active over there, but hope to stay somewhat connected to y'all! Hopefully there will be a good way to save past threads as I certainly posted a lot about Exertainment stuff! I also hope the Secret Santa will happen again...I look forward to that every year!
