No problem, I'm glad you got it working. Personally speaking, my next project for this is to turn it into an arcade unit. I plan on doing that by unmounting the rubber gamepad grip and replacing it with a custom bracket to fit cheap arcade stick (im thinking the mayflash ps2 ps3 universal since its not bad for $40). From there i wanna make an external coin box that mounts to the base on the left side and runs up the side, custom 3d printed of course. The coin mech is going to be custom made by me using extra parts I have lying around. Its going to be simple, cheap, and small. I'll post pictures when I'm done . Its a shame I dont have time right now, I moved it back home to detroit but am living in flint still, so i dont even have access to it currently to make plans.
Im looking forward to see what you come up with. The white arm is easy to remove. Undo the security bolts on the side and there are 4 nuts underneath.
I could send you a commerical coin mech for quarters if you like. I have an extra one.
The white arm as a whole is not that hard to remove, sure but it seems that its going to be difficult to remove the rubber itself. The screws that are in it now are stripped and I haven't even touched them yet! The worst part is they are tight, so it's going to be annoying. Wrost case senario, I cut all the screws, pull it out, then use a vice grip or something to pull the ends out by twisting it.
As for the coin mech, I'm perfectly find making my own, the idea is to make it discrete, a full commercial coin mech is a little bulkier than I'd like it. So, using the extra limit switches for my 3d printer that I have, I'm just going to build my own discrete external coin mech. It's not going to be able to check for fakes and such, but that's not the point since this isn't going to be a commercial machine (As making money off roms is illegal), I want it because I think its a cool idea, I put a picture for how I'm going to use the switch, to show what I'm talking about. It should work in theory, but I guess we will find out in a few weeks when I finish up the semester.
Yep here's a black Wii U, gamepad, and cord. This kiosk might be exclusive to Nintendo world store
Can't be certain they were demo consoles unless we saw the back of them. Wouldn't surprise me if Nintendo had those specifically for the NY Nintendo Store (NYNS). Anyone know if the NYNS had the kiosks before other retailers had them? Would make sense that Nintendo would have used the black consoles to promote the 32GB console bundle, but then cut costs on non-Nintendo store retailers kiosks. Hope others with info will chime in... need piece of Nintendo history.. I personally LOVE the look and size of the NYNS kiosks. Wish I could get my hands on one.
What do you think the cord coming from the gamepad plugs into?
The actual wii u demo console. The demo consoles have more ports than a retail one. I think its safe to assume that these consoles are just black in color and nothing else is differentr other than that.
That's what I was getting at. I do think it's an actual demo console.

For all we know, that could just be a security cable that also powers the gamepad. Point I was trying to make is I bet these are the earliest version of demo consoles if they are indeed demo consoles. Can't verify anything until we get more info or the actual hardware.
Picture of mine after I gave it a good cleaning. I have everything on the chart but the wrench, demo disc, and paper work. The serial number is 4797. I couldn't find the version/model # sticker. It may also be noted that the console is a WIS-001, but is not originally from this unit itself.
This was the kiosk I received from Gamestop in Braintree, MA.
Note on the key: I received a key from another store as my store would not allow me to have it (had to send back to NoA). This key still works on my kiosk.
They key issue confuses me because more than one GS employee (from different locations) told me that they were supposed to keep the key because it would be the same key used in the Switch kiosk. Now that only makes sense if all of the keys were the same. But then again, they certainly might have been lying because they didn't want to give me the key.
Ive heard a couple of folks say that the keys are different but I've seen more than a few reports that all the Wii U kiosk keys are the same key. From a logistics perspective it would be a lot easier and cheaper for Nintendo to use the same key for all the units. Its not terribly difficult for a store manager to keep control of the key.
Until I see positive proof otherwise I will believe that they are all the same key.
Anyone got an extra key they might want to part with?
Perhaps another mystery. I too was told that they were supposed to keep the key for the switch kiosk. But after doing some comparisions between the ones that made it to ebay, I found that there are different keys! Perhaps a reasonable explanation would be that they are indeed regional like what was suggested earlier. But I will agree, that SOME keys are the same, and it baffles me to no extent. I think the best line of action to getting replacement keys out there, would be to scan one using a 3d scanner and release a model file, shit I would print keys for people. But until that happens, I think the people who are left without keys are kinda SOL for now. I suggest just replacing the key with a similar lock like I did, if you would like a link ask and I will post it.
Yeah, like I said it's confusing, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. I replaced my lock a while back. It was cheap and only took a few minutes. I re-used the actual latch and just attached it to the new lock. In fact, I would have skipped the lock all together, but the door wouldn't stay shut without some type of latch, and a replacement lock was the most logical way to incorporate a new latch.
Anyone have pictures of how the inside is setup I'm getting a console, game pad, and controllers
haha... pretty messy. There are the two power blocks for the Wiimote/gamepad, the console power, then the lynx power hub thing on the right with the black power cord for that box in the front (like a laptop charger). The sub is on the bottom with a black powerbar behind it. The power bar has the monitor, console charger, controller chargers, sub power, and th lynx power cord going into it. I'm not 100% certain of the entire setup as I haven't been bothered to remove the back panel of the unit yet. The fan power would be in there somewhere too.
All the stuff cannot be moved. I think they use double sided sticker stuff to keep everything in place. I remove the back panel some day and organize all the wires.
Anyone have pictures of how the inside is setup I'm getting a console, game pad, and controllers
I went for a slightly cleaner approach. I attached everything to the back with double stick tape and hot glue to hold wires in place. There is an extra power strip mounted to the side as I will have multiple consoles and a rpi in the cabinet.

I didn't have the key for mine, so I took apart the latch and reinstalled it with the latch facing backwards (in the unlocked position). Then I put a magnetic latch on it at the bottom. Now the door opens and closes without a key.

Very nice. I like that a lot. This picture motivates me to do the same.

I'm actually really jealous with how clean that is, it's looking like I may have to copy your idea. Its going to be difficult because mine is a friggin mess, especially with all the extra cable and equipment I had to put in to get audio. I also like what you did with the IEC plug socket, I'm going to do that (after I make a new vent in CAD so I don't have to cut the original. Great Job!

I just took a dremmel to that back plate. Once you put in something useful like that no one ever wants to bring it back to "original" especially since on my unit all the original wires were cut out. I just see this thing as another arcade cabinet and its wouldnt be the first one I modify in some way or another and it wont be the last.
When it comes to the plate I didnt have to remove too much metal. Super easy mod.
The IEC plug uses blade connectors in the back and I was worried about shorts so i just wrapped it all in electrical tape.

The main reason for me to just draft up a new one, is that it would probably be easier for me. Especially considering I personally do not own a dremel or cutting tools. Also I can also add some other stuff like a controll box for the lights or something like that or maybe even a freeplay switch because im converting this thing to an arcade cabinet. I don't know, part of me just wants something to draft up to occupy time during my week off in two weeks. Regardless, its a really good idea and Im greatful that you shared it because I think Im going to take your model of organization, and maybe even find a way to put a jamma in this thing with a freed shelf.
Hey guys, Just finally had time to read through this entire thread to catch up, OP dewisp02 and I live relatively nearby and He had recently contacted me and hooked me up with one of the kiosks he had acquired on his journey. Ill post a few pics of where I am with Restoring it soon as well as the Serial # soon.
So far it has all of the necessary cables and lights to attach a Monitor (As like so many others it was missing)
I have a (Sorta Defective) extra set of Wii-mote Controllers from my Wii Kiosk so Im sorta covered there but im Looking into finding an Alternative Aesthetically pleasing method of mounting and powering the Kiosk Game-pad I really liked that Coiled Wired Connection that the Original had and would like to find a way to replicate that as close as possible.
Other than that I just purchased the Bezel Monitor Frame on eBay last week so right now I'm hunting down a cheap alternative TV to the LYNX monitor. Can I bug One of you guys for the Size specifications on that? I assume its a 32" TV? It would be awesome if someone could post the exact dimensions (Especially depth) since so many of these units Monitors were gutted and smashed.
I really appreciate that dewisp02 was so quick to gather the community together to Keep track of the whereabouts of these Demo units.

Oh and... uh supply me with mine
Thanks!
I dont have access to mine at the momment, but I do remember that it is a 32 inch (31.5) tv. I dont remeber the depth of the actual monitor, but I seem to remember that it is somewhere between 2 and 3 inches in depth. If you read a bit back, TDIRunner found a monitor solution that worked out for him using a vizeo tv. It should be about five (maybe more) pages back in this thread because he talked about how he did it. He even posted a link for the tv he used.

Yes I did see that Vizio he had mentioned, I was just curious so I could find a more cost effective that fits my needs as a solution. (less than $200) Definately dont need Smart TV features etc.
I'm finishing cleaning mine up at the moment, and was wondering what you guys used to clean the screen? I don't want to damage it or leave any streaks.

I have a plan on rebuilding the cable with coils and all. I posted pics of a temporary proof of concept over on the Wii U demo console thread.
The bit I'm falling short on is the strain relief bit on the gamepad itself. Its attached with screws and needs to be on the sturdy side. Im not sure what to do there yet. Maybe Cube64 can 3D print us something.

That would be awesome if he could, I saw the Debacle with the Keys way back. It sucks that they are not all made the same. Was it ever confirmed to be a regional or District wide thing?

What do you have in mind. If its just a modification to the gamepad plug I made and uploaded it to thingiverse, consider it done .just give me the measurement in mm of your wire's diameters. If that's what you mean and thats what I think you mean. I do have plans to make custom wiimote plugs on another note. Just reread the post. If you are talking about the gamepad clip, I will need some time, but I would be willing to do it .
Also, I almost got another kiosk yesterday, a gamestop called me and asked if I wanted one in the same condition as mine. Turned it down and my friend got it, will post the kiosk info when i get it

they are not. I compared some online and saw that they were different.

I'm just going off 'n64guy' on youtube as he has 5 or 6 keys or something and said they are all the same.

I dont have access to mine at the momment, but I do remember that it is a 32 inch (31.5) tv. I dont remeber the depth of the actual monitor, but I seem to remember that it is somewhere between 2 and 3 inches in depth. If you read a bit back, TDIRunner found a monitor solution that worked out for him using a vizeo tv. It should be about five (maybe more) pages back in this thread because he talked about how he did it. He even posted a link for the tv he used.
Hey guys, Just finally had time to read through this entire thread to catch up, OP dewisp02 and I live relatively nearby and He had recently contacted me and hooked me up with one of the kiosks he had acquired on his journey. Ill post a few pics of where I am with Restoring it soon as well as the Serial # soon.
So far it has all of the necessary cables and lights to attach a Monitor (As like so many others it was missing)
I have a (Sorta Defective) extra set of Wii-mote Controllers from my Wii Kiosk so Im sorta covered there but im Looking into finding an Alternative Aesthetically pleasing method of mounting and powering the Kiosk Game-pad I really liked that Coiled Wired Connection that the Original had and would like to find a way to replicate that as close as possible.
Other than that I just purchased the Bezel Monitor Frame on eBay last week so right now I'm hunting down a cheap alternative TV to the LYNX monitor. Can I bug One of you guys for the Size specifications on that? I assume its a 32" TV? It would be awesome if someone could post the exact dimensions (Especially depth) since so many of these units Monitors were gutted and smashed.
I really appreciate that dewisp02 was so quick to gather the community together to Keep track of the whereabouts of these Demo units.

Yes I did see that Vizio he had mentioned, I was just curious so I could find a more cost effective that fits my needs as a solution. (less than $200) Definately dont need Smart TV features etc.

I have a plan on rebuilding the cable with coils and all. I posted pics of a temporary proof of concept over on the Wii U demo console thread.
The bit I'm falling short on is the strain relief bit on the gamepad itself. Its attached with screws and needs to be on the sturdy side. Im not sure what to do there yet. Maybe Cube64 can 3D print us something.

That would be awesome if he could, I saw the Debacle with the Keys way back. It sucks that they are not all made the same. Was it ever confirmed to be a regional or District wide thing?
I'm finishing cleaning mine up at the moment, and was wondering what you guys used to clean the screen? I don't want to damage it or leave any streaks.
Windex

What do you have in mind. If its just a modification to the gamepad plug I made and uploaded it to thingiverse, consider it done .just give me the measurement in mm of your wire's diameters. If that's what you mean and thats what I think you mean. I do have plans to make custom wiimote plugs on another note. Just reread the post. If you are talking about the gamepad clip, I will need some time, but I would be willing to do it .
Also, I almost got another kiosk yesterday, a gamestop called me and asked if I wanted one in the same condition as mine. Turned it down and my friend got it, will post the kiosk info when i get it
