    sorry for my camera but all it had on the back was composite and svid.

    the label was black on the back but i could make out the model number:
    Panasonic
    CT-20D11E
    manufactured june 2001
    made in mexico

    they are selling them for $65 each. i could not find any paperwork in them or remotes but i will open a bottom one and check later. these pictures were done in haste.

    Odd item; buy the lot and flog them on ebay? Shipping might be a hassle, though.

    Hmm never seen those before and a quick Google search brings up not much.

    Don't remember seeing any xbox kiosks (at least the ones i've played) having monitors labeled Microsoft but i could be wrong but they are an odd item to have in a salvation army thrift shop.

    They are indeed original XBOX kiosk televisions for this unit: link you'd find in retail outlets. To use them, you'll need a compatible or universal remote since the front panel was disabled for retail use (to keep vistors from messing with them).
