Original Project Thread: https://www.aussiearcade.com/topic/73816-15quot-fuji-kiosk-conversion/
I’ve built a few of these over the years of varying models. This one is an old Fujifilm Photo processing kiosk that you used to see in lots of stores. I bought two in this purchase but they were different models. This write up is on the older model.
I’d built a full size touchsceen jukebox years ago but I got a lot of requests from people to borrow for parties so decided to build one that was more portable. Whilst a good idea I found these units are solid steel and despite their size are VERY heavy!
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.
Power Supply and tinny right hand speaker.
Rear of device with extra power options.
Tore out the printer.
This left plenty of room for a sub and a pair of satellites that actually fit in too.
Took PC out and stripped everything down for cleaning including taking the door off.
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.
- Put everything back together
- took out excess wiring
- cable tied & strapped down
- 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.
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.
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.
The software interface you can see is called E-Touch and I love it. Been using it for many years. Supports, Audio, Video, Karaoke, Online Search and more. Of course since this is a PC you can also just run Spotify or any other software of choice.
Shortly after building this I sold it to fund my next conversion project. This project is a 15″ monitor, my new one is a 17″ monitor.
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.
