^So I found this somewhat near me and I have not seen something like it before...but apparently it's a Saturn store display (Saturn logo on the back to confirm it) that's been converted into a DC one (the official blue DC-kiosks I've seen ofcourse). My question is if anyone know this kiosk/has a pic of how it originally looked (original art apparently still left beneath the DC-vinyl)? Also if there are parts missing here? Also have a general question on what it's worth (not about the money as I love the Saturn...but haggling still never hurts). From this old thread: http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?23384-Sega-Saturn-Kiosk there are pictures of american and japanese ones however not euro. Hopefully I post this in the correct sub-forum not on here often. Have also never restored anything before/have very limited technical knowledge so excuse me in advance if these or coming questions are dumb. Thanks in advance for any help provided.
From looking at the unit it looks like a generic demo kiosk like those that are sometimes used in retro game stores. the shallow design means it was probably not meant to hold a CRT television, which would have definitely been the TV for a Sega Saturn (and Dreamcast!. The design also does not quite fit with any other Sega kiosk I have seen before. I may be wrong (and probably am) but I am doubting that this was an official kiosk.
Thanks for the reply first off. ^This is the back of it so deeper than it looks on the first pic (stand looks to be for CRT of certain size to be fitted straight in at least no question that's what both DC and SAT used) and also with no DC-sticker here the topper is clearly fitted for the SAT. But yeah I can find no info whatsoever on the net for what a PAL kiosk would've looked like (if there was an official one at all?) so figured here's the place to ask. Annoying that I remember playing SAT in stores as a kid but it's not like a 3yo or whatever at the time would care to remember the kiosk instead of the games.
That's really interesting actually. I'm sure some kiosks were converted from Saturn to DC: but I still just don't feel like that particular unit wasn't an official Sega unit... Some stores for years used custom kiosk units (I know that CompUSA held onto their custom Dreamcast cabinet in my town until they closed years after they stopped selling anything to do with the Dreamcast). Perhaps it was a display unit that a certain chain of stores used? It just seems too generic to have been an official sega kiosk.
