Virtual Boy Kiosk Restoration

I picked up a virtual boy kiosk a couple weeks ago. When I bought it nothing was working on it, the advertisements were gone, and the right acrylic that hold the advertisement was half gone. I thought it would be cool to show the restoration process. So here it goes. The first pic is the one that was posted on eBay (that's not me in the reflection

    Sweet, as one of the handful of VB fanatics on NA I'm excited to see this progress

    I'm working on having one of the advertisement holders replaced as well as the advertisements themselves. This is the biggest kiosk restoration I've had to do.

    Next step was to have the console itself repaired while the ad holder is being made.

    So, you were expected to kneel to play this, or is it a counter unit?

    Also good luck on the restore!!!

    Here she is. Fully restored to the best of my ability. The ad on the right is an original print I was fortunate enough to acquire off a member of Planet Virtual Boy. I couldn't be happier with how this turned out!

    Looks killer. You should get that member to scan the advert for the other side!

    Someone from Facebook attempted to scan and print some of his for me and it didn't work out. He went to multiple places and no one was able to do it because of its size.
