Traded even up for a Super Hang-on. Not bad. I did not realize that these things were made out of solid powder coated metal. Damn it is one heavy-duty unit. Now, I just need to find out where to source parts and/or graphics for this thing. Any of you console guys know a good source? Its missing the controller mounting arms, but otherwise it's all there.

Have you ever played it with the arms attached? It is very uncomfortable, unless you are a munchkin. A lot of stores would remove them because the games are unplayable for an adult. I would say get a set of these, and make a nice little power-cloated metal hangar for them. It isn't like you need them bolted to the unit because someone might steal the controllers.

They are wicked confortable and the d-pad is 10x better than the Sony version. Walmart sells them, but you can find them cheaper on ebay. I have 4 of the PS2 ones, and original Xbox one and PC one.
 
Damn I forgot how nice the PS2 ones were made. I definitely would love to have a Saturn and SNES kiosk in the arcade.
 
That's the one I bought for my PS2. Works great, comfy and the regular batteries last a long time. I bought a converter for my PS3, but the PS3 didn't see the Logitech controller. Too bad. Has anyone ever gotten their wireless PS2 controller to work on a PS3? I would love to get mine to work.
 
How hard is it to swap games?
I would love to have one, I don't care for playing any console games standing up though....:D

Logitec makes a PS3 version. Their controller is vastly superior to the standard ones.
 
Very cool, Phet - there were a lot of pretty slick store kiosks and that's one of the better ones, I'd say. Don't know what to tell you about the art though...I assume you mean there below the monitor?
 
Very cool. I need to get one of these sooner or later. It would look nice by my PS1 kiosk.

Good luck finding the graphics and stuff for it. Most stores threw them away. If you find any collectors forums someone might have some. Or check with some retail store managers. Sometimes they hang on to that kind of stuff.
 
Why would someone play a PS2 demo unit when they could play all kinds of cool arcade games and pinball machines?

PS2 signaled the end of the acades. Damn you to hell PS2...
 
I mean everywhere
Oh snap. Okay yeah, I remember those now. Someone is bound to have some that could be scanned, but finding that person probably won't be easy. If it were me, I'd probably come up with something that looks good and that I like and slap it on there for now.

Edit: just noticed yours doesn't have the old PS logo on the front. That should be easy enough to get reproduced if nothing else.
