My vote is for the CRT in the kiosk. The CRT fits the time and novelty of having a kiosk displaying in the game room, and when you use the kiosk you want to have that feeling of going back to the early 2000s.
That CRT is HUGE.
My vote is the classic crt too
I play my modded atari 7800 on a new led screen. I like the crisp image compared to old tech. Old school is good but I prefer better image.
Definitely the crt. Also try refurbishing the analog sticks with a kit off amazon. It will be worth it and its pretty easy to do
Easy for you guys to say, you don't have to set it up and lug it around
i have basically this same kiosk, but the european version in silver instead of black. there are definitely differences such as the side ”nintendo” logos not having lights on my version, no reset button, no magazine racks. but my version is extremely heavy and thicker with the walls having the same design but twice as thick (basically double walls on both sides) as yours, and the bottom plate being solid cast iron making it almost impossible to move. looks very similar, but almost all the parts are just slightly different. fat silver tv, silver/purple details, silver gamecube, purple controllers. very cool to see more of them!
ITS THE MAN HIMSELF
How this comment has so little likes?
Finding this comment is like finding a hidden secret treasure
What are you doing here?!?
The fact the bald guy himself is a Metal Jesus fan (or at least watched this video) is super cool to me lol
Old school CRT all the way dude
Absolutely, no contest.
CRT all the way-it’s period specific and it looks phenomenal the way it’s currently set up. You can always do the HD GameCube set-up on your main TV.
Definitely keep the CRT.
When i first started collecting for the GC last year i was forced to go on the Norwegian version of Craigslist and find a good and fat CRT (free of charge BTW).
No other video game pickup has felt as complete and fulfilling as seeing that GC boot windwaker and SM Sunshine on a buzzing, breathing and ovenhot CRT.
Also it just looks right on the rack😊
Absolutely keep the CRT in the kiosk.
I second/third this keep the CRT maybe just use S-video, SCART, or component. Composite isnt that bad for some quick play, and sometimes can even look better after changing some TV settings. plus that TV looked like it had some nice scanlines. I have 6 CRTs, and another on the way. only 4 are HD, 2 CRT TVs, and 2 CRT computer monitors.
Or go on a quest to find a HD CRT the same size. Which would be a very difficult one :D
@@hansarsch8106 my HD CRTs are 36 inch 4:3, and 32 inch 16:9. Ive honestly never seen a HD crt as little as the one used in this video...its 20 inch right? Maybe if the kiosk has speakers using a computer CRT might be a good idea if there is a VGA/HD15 connector for gamecube.
Moodie's Music agreed
The second i saw that circle fluorescent light i was starting to itch like this guy needs to just swap it for usb leds and BOOM metal jesus does not dissapoint
keep old school CRT, keep an eye out for one that will fit perfect.
Keep the CRT. Seeing this brings back so many memories, makes my heart swell with nostalgia. We're coming up pretty soon on the GameCube's 20th anniversary and I'm not sure if I'm ready for it yet.
I vote for keeping the CRT but try to get some good S-video cables. The picture quality will be improved quite a bit over composite. Just don't get the cheap S-video cables as I hear some brands will actually just split the composite video signal and send that over S-video so that they could be compatible with the SNES Mini. I've only ever used official Nintendo S-video cables, but they can't be the only ones which offer true S-video. If you see a warning that says it doesn't work with the SNES 2/Mini, then that's a good thing.
Seconded. Composite to S-Video is a HUGE jump in quality. It's like 85% of the way to RGB honestly. I got my S-Video cable for $10 on ebay. As long as the photo shows it without the composite lead, and only has the red/white audio plugs and s-video, you're good. I got a no-name generic cable and it looks great. No checkerboarding artifacts.
the nostalgia in me says keep the CRT, just seeing that all set up with the Nintendo power magazines on the side and the CRT just brought me back to a simpler time when going to the local department store / Gamestop was more than just an in and out experience. I know there are still some places that have kiosk set ups, but not like this.
spankosaur agreed. I remember looking at those thinking “how can it get any better than this???” 😂😭😭😭
If they make an Enhanced Defininiton (EDTV) CRT. That would be the best of both worlds. I believe Sony Trinitrons do this, they only go up to 720p but that would pair great with the component cables. (or an otherwise modded console with hdmi out)
Dude, you need some thick curtains for that sliding patio door. Those doors are a theifs dream come true, not only can the bad guy see all your stuff, but they are easy to break in. I'm a master carpenter who installs these doors, so I'm very knowledgeable on them. I'd reccomend putting a 2×4 peice of wood on the bottom left side(looking out from in the house) in the track. Cut the wood exact , leaving no wiggle when the door is shut. Dont rely on the door stopper that's in the center, crooks can fish a wire in to open that.
Stay safe. I hope this helps you 👍happy new year
Also, I should have mentioned this...since it's also easy for a bad guy to smash the sliding patio door glass to gain entry(especially if you dont have close neighbors) there is a cost efficient solution without replacing them, or if you just like them and dont want to close it up with a traditional solid door.
Ok, buy a product called "Hurricane shatterproof glass film" or "window security film". You apply it just like window tint(except it's clear, so it's not obvious) and it will prevent the glass from breaking, essentially making it extremely tough for a bad guy to gain entry. They even make a bullet-proof version! You can research it, its amazing stuff. I use it on all my first floor windows and door glass.
👍👍👍👍gotta keep that precious collection safe!!😁
This is honestly great advice. Teenage me and friends would see that shit try to cop when yall arent home.
Never replace the D-series. That is one of THE old school CRTs among the enthusiasts. As one of them, I am very jealous :) Great Kiosk btw
There was a store by my old house that had a kiosk identical to yours. Really cool stuff. And keep the CRT. It looks kinda sad with the LCD display
No
Definitely stick with the CRT! More era appropriate, fills out nicely, and the Dell monitor looks odd thrown in there (at least in my opinion).
The CRT has a better aesthetic look. That’d be my pick.
Northwest Nerd plus crt will give you that 3d deep illusion that flat tv can’t really give out
It'a a D-Series from JVC. I think it uses shadow mask or something like that (not sure if it's just the updated late 90s type of slot mask or it's actually something else). It's got component input and it's a non-flatscreen (some people prefer that). Supposedly only weighs about 115 lbs for a 32 inch. Usually 32" 4:3 SD CRT TVs weigh more than 140-150 lbs (as a comparison, there are 32" Wega Trinitrons that weigh more than 165 lbs, and traditional non-flatscreen Trinitrons weighing over 160 lbs).
Originally I wanted to get the D-Series but decided not to, due to the "geometry issue" on the left side of the screen being seemingly prevalent in these sets (have seen at least 4 D-series sets with minor to moderate picture issues in the same area that is on the left side of the screen), and also after having seen one at my local game store and being underwhelmed with its picture (which was also plagued with what looked to be a moderate geometry issue on the left side). Still it's highly praised in the CRT gaming community which still makes me curious about its true potential. The main highlight is definitely the weight for the screen size you get (which I bet it'd be quite challenging to find something equivalent to this) in addition to the component input for a non-flatscreen tube which is also quite uncommon (other than the D-series which are pretty common finds as its own category).
Stick with what the GameCube was meant to play on... CRT all the way!
Whenever I saw the GC kiosks, they didn’t have Nintendo Power issues in the racks. Typically it was strategy guides. Specifically I can recall the Bloodrayne and Wind Waker guides.
Good to know, thanks!
I like Jason's idea better lol
I remember seeing one at a KBtoys that repurposed that to hold the bargain bin games or the display cases of the demo games
Depends on the store i know Target where they had one would just toss any kind of game related game mags on the racks lol
Your awesome buddy Trevor went out his way to hook you up with a near-impossible-to-find compatible TV for your near extinct kiosk.
Keep the CRT. It's a better fit (literally) for the then-era setup you got there.
Yeah, and he literally has a CRT with component inputs, so if he wants a better picture just get a Carby and it's 100% better than a cheaper monitor
Yeah!
It's got this line through the middle? I'm not crazy right?
@@frostynukacola you probably can't see it in person
"All I want is some beer" story of my life, but tell me you were generous with the beer?! lol like 2 cases or more at least! I would have hooked that guy up for sure!
Metal Jesus doesn’t have a game room. He has a game house. 😄
^^ TRUTH ^^
He'll live in the leaky shed
Game WAREHOUSE
CRT ftw. Just has that nostalgic feeling of the time GC was popular.
Best to keep the kiosk accurate to the era it came out in by keeping the CRT in that. One of many reasons these kiosks are fantastic is feeling like you're transported back in time. I had an Original Xbox kiosk, and it brought me back to using them at the store
20" JVC D series is a choice set. You can use eon gaming's setup and than run HDretrovision cables too the component hookup on your JVC CRT.
Definitely keep the CRT in there, looks like a great fit and really makes the whole unit look ten times better than a flat screen monitor. Plus as you said even using the composite cable with the CRT produces a surprisingly good image!
NO. Use the CRT television but remove the innerts. Put a modern monitor into it.
@@slyceth lool
Get an S-Video cable. Best quality image while keeping time period authentic.
@@AgentMorgan2010 That TV has component which is superior to S-Video
@@slyceth That's way too much work man. Looks good how it is.
Wow it’s almost like being a gaming archeologist looking for rare finds and piecing together clues about how the original looked. Great job!!! Also love the nostalgic reference to Circuit City…sort of like Fry’s and Micro Center. I miss those old stores.
Definitely keep the CRT! That reset switch would plug into the dip switch/timer box, I'd imagine. That thing is awesome!!! Gamecube will forever be one of my favorite systems!
"This looks fantastic on this old CRT TV" ... switches to HDMI
@brett linthicum how about you go on your way and stop being an asshole to random people because your mommy wouldn't buy you your favorite fortnite skin.
MJR is only looking for a better way to have these on display...you can't fault him for trying different things to see what is a good fit. HDMI does look better but I think it takes away from the old school look of it so my vote is on the old CRT. I think MJR only switched it because the model he had was a little old and not as vibrant but the thought process is there...he wants the best possible way to display it...he did say that it was a little hard to find a tv model to match the kiosk
@Michael O Callaghan Well It is not to me to say...all I have is an opinion what Jason does is up to him
Oh man I remember seeing these everywhere when the GameCube came out and it made me want one so badly. Very cool nostalgic piece.
I tried to complete Shadow the Hedgehog on one of these when in hospital as a kid; A local game shop donated it to the childrens ward when generation 7 consoles came out. unfortunately the shop has now closed down years ago :'( It had no memory card so I left it paused overnight but failed to finish it. Its situations like this that really get you absorbed into a game, and makes it more memorable
I remember those magazine holders had strategy guides inside them at my local gamestop when gamestop was amazing
Also it be cool to put a couple Wavebirds in that kiosk so you can have 2-4 players for the kiosk, make players 2 and 3 wavebirds and make players 1 and 4 the wired controllers
That idea is amazing!
I seriously enjoy seeing how mjr analyzes the mechanical/electronic parts when he's assembling, I just heard today that he worked for this Sierra entertainment/On-line gaming company my friends mom had a stint working with.
Keep the old school CRT, even if the color is a little off - that just adds to the awesomeness of this being a 'vintage' piece. :)
I like the look of the CRT tv and that’s what is nostalgic to me specifically with that system so that is what I personally would keep and it fits the space well
All my childhood CRTs broke down so I was really happy when I found one for two bucks. It's small but pretty "new" only from 2006 so it should be OK for a while.
The old school tv looks awesome the way it fits perfectly plus it would have the forward facing speakers built in to it. Keep rocking the old school games!!
I personally like it more with the CRT, it just fills all the space
I agree! Keep the CRT since that's honestly what was made to go there. So jealous!! #gamecubeforever
NO. Use the CRT television but remove the innerts. Put a modern monitor into it.
@@slyceth well no, crts look better than modern displays, that would be a waste
Hmmmm how about a CRT PC monitor then run the eon mk2 to get component out then get it to RGBHV via an adapter
@@slyceth that is a ridiculous idea
That's so awesome that you something so rare and special. I remember working at Circuit City back in 2001 and our store had this exact demo unit. We moved our store in 2002 and we had to move it across town. We all loved playing this when things got slow. Great memories of that demo unit.
The GameCube was such an underrated console !!! I loved mine and the games were fantastic 👌🏻 gotta love a little die hard vendetta
Mr. NoName well it was more kid friendly that’s why there was no GTA, (even tho Vice City and San Andreas were fantastic) and the indigo was to bring colour to the console. I love the PS2 but black gets boring after awhile (I know that the PS2 has different colours like silver and other ones but there were like basic colours not indigo)
Mr. NoName "no real gamer would take it seriously at the time". I guess "real gamers" didn't mind the slower hardware with slowdown in many games, plus inferior graphics to boot (though still good with component video anyway as composite ps2 was poor + mostly limited to 480i games). Metroid Prime and Wind Waker's huge worlds and content proved that jumping from 600+ megs on CD to 1.5 gb was enough of a leap in storage size. But I agree that Nintendo was still crazy dumb to release a purple lunch box right after Sony proved that selling to teens and adults was not only much more profitable, but alot more logical and sensible.
The GameCube's execution was flawed, but it still deserved to sell wayy more than it did.
dude I wish I could have moments like this where you just so happen to get a rare thing for cheap.
It's an awesome feeling, I got an Original Ps1 Silent hill CD from a friend that didn't play it anymore, he only asked in return to help him build a pc from scratch, this was in 2003.
@@lasz1979 man, I broke one of them a few years ago. I still feel bad for this.
100% agree with the majority here in keeping the CRT! Looks authentic and it just feels right.
I think I saw component inputs on that JVC CRT... if so, I know the component cables are expensive as fxxx, but I would definitely go for component! Would probably even fix the slight color problem you mentioned with the CRT.
Love your videos bro!
It was at a kiosk exactly like this at my local Circuit City where I played a demo of Star Fox: Assault, and it was the reason why I bought a GameCube.
The fan is important for air exchange inside the dome to cool the gamecube
If that's the case, I would try to fit a PC fan in there.
Nonya Biznes Ding Dong, your opinion is wrong
@Nonya Biznes NES #1
again that's just your opinion, in my opinion your wrong gamecube is the best console so far I've ever owned, but you're entitled to your opinion friend.
@Nonya Biznes go 2 bed m8 LOOOSER
It'd be great to see a documentary about all these Gamecube kiosks/demo stations.
Great job having to re-build that kiosk without any instructions. The LEDs look really good too - very nice!!
Thanks!
I love my Gamecube. I got mine the year came out and played the hell out of Twilight Princess and True Crime: Streets of LA 🤘🏽
@Darth Wheezius falcon puuuunnnccchhhh
nope dude both of those games are hella awesome
Twilight princess amazing game👍🏻
One of my favorite pictures I saw in 2019 was the one of Jason Alexander standing in front of a Metroid Prime Demo kiosk.
Hey there! I regularly check out your videos, so I'm happy to leave a thought on the CRT query:
DEFINITELY keep it. I personally feel it has solid aesthetic and keeps the piece as close to period-accurate as possible. (Which is part of what I imagine the appeal of owning a kiosk like this would be. 🙂)
Rock on, man! 🤘
Those LED lights look great and a perfect modern day replacement for that florescent light. Good thinking 👍
I think that’s the nicest looking game cube display I’ve seen. I’ve never seen that style of display. It looks like they actually put money into it.
Keep the CRT, ditch composite for at least S-video. Also, does the NGC get hot enclosed in the dome? Maybe the fan circulated cool air around inside there?
I would keep the CRT in there just for that feel of the time. The last time I saw a GC kiosk was at Kmart in Halls Crossroads, TN. The main demo was Super Mario Strikers.
Those were the days...
The wires went to store reset buttons, specific to CC
Keep the CRT - Carby is coming out with replacement component cables, and you could run it to a JVC D-Series CRT with component inputs. Heaven.
ah, the memories...
I remember playing this at Mcdonalds with my friends in the early 2000s (I was like 14 years old in 2001)
@Mykel Hardin It was back from when McDonald's still had indoor playgrounds and the fries smelled good when they cooked them.
I used to work at circuit city during this time and all of our stores had this exact kiosk. The reset button plugged into a relay. Once pressed, it would cut power and then turn everything ( including the TV depending on how it was wired ) back on. The TV’s that this kiosk would use was black with a flat screen and flat bezel ( but still a CRT ). I am very surprised that they let him take this kiosk. Nintendo and all other OEM’s where actually pretty strict about taking these back with them when a new console came out. They would demand for them to be removed off the floor and be sent back to them since they not only paid to have them shipped to said store, but also assembled by a contractor. Seeing that thing brung back many memories. I still remember me having to open it up and clean it out every once in a while. Some even had locks on them !.
Oh and there was some different trays that you can put on the sides that would hold games and accessories.
We had this same kiosk at Software Etc, I would play on it when we were empty. It's probably what helped me decide to purchase that first crisp GameCube back then. Ah, memories.
The second I saw that florescent bulb, I was praying you’d replace that with an LED. Good job reverse engineering some of that because I would’ve cried if I had to assemble that.
This dude basically lives out my adolescent wet dreams.
Bad ass, looks better with the old school tv, maybe getting a flat black one would look better
very cool. definitely go with a CRT in the kiosk, hit the whole thing with some isopropyl to get it nice and clean, and maybe find a Sony PVM that fits in the TV rack. could also change out the controllers and improve the cable management. maybe even install an eongchdMk2
Gray CRT looks pretty good actually. Sort of matches the GameCube. If you go flat panel, you'll have to make a surround to fill the gap. Sort of how they do on the mini consoles that have border art.
Beautiful kiosk! I’d use the JVC CRT w/the Insurrection Industries GameCube Component Cables 😉👍
And maybe spray paint the crt in black 🤔
Do you notice any latency with those? I've noticed those particular cables have had pretty good reviews, but I've never seen latency discussed.
I doubt that beast has component input, RGB will still look good though, if it supports it.
Dean Thompson @8:49 - it has a set of component inputs 😉
Dingoes8MeBabies - I bought the Nintendo ones years ago before they got stupid expensive - I hear the Carby ones work great
I actually have a very vague, fuzzy memory of seeing someone play Paper Mario at a Circuit City and wishing my mom would let me wander off so I could play too.
Olimar Jones we all have memories like that...
I have that exact same kiosk... just barely took it out of my storage unit and got it cleaned up.. works perfectly
Keep the CRT, have it so the whole thing is a period piece.
i hope all the moving went smooth man, moving can be such a pain the ass but it's so nice when you finally get everything set up!
I'm *almost* done unpacking... maybe this weekend!? And then a new Game Room Tour 2020!
@@MetalJesusRocks can't wait to see it. 🤓
As a kid, I always wanted to collect kiosks. They spoke so much to me, and this Gamecube one tugged on my heart stings.
I would definitely keep the CRT in the kiosk, I'm sure you have another Gamecube in your main setup, I'd leave the HDMI on that one.
Love it dude! Keep the CRT. I'm sure you had a great time setting it up and getting it completed. \m/
i'd keep the TV you have as is, it gives it that time period feel that makes these kiosks so cool.
13:00 In my opinion you should left the CRT TV there it looks amazing with the kiosk
Man, you are living my DREAM! 👍
The 2 wires go to a relay that connects to the ground wire of the power supply... You'll want a SPST (single pole single throw) relay that is normally closed (sometimes labeled SPNC). When you hit the reset switch, that will momentarily cut the ground wire to the GameCube power supply, and then when you stop pushing the reset switch, that will restore continuity to the ground wire causing power to once again flow to the GameCube.
The old school CRT is the way to go. It's more about the novelty of the authenticity of it then it is being playable.
I am legit jealous of this, and that's coming from a guy who owned a Play-Choice 10 arcade cabinet.
I’ve always wanted an old N64 or GameCube Kiosk, cootos to you for managing to get it all setup that nicely
I still remember seeing a very similar kiosk (PAL version) in a local Kmart here in Australia in the early 2000's, design was virtually identical but the panels and brochure racks were more of a pearl white than silver. I'm pretty sure the demo disc was different as well as Australia was one of the last markets the system was released in. Would be cool to find one of them now and resurrect it with a 51 cm (20 inch) Sony CRT (what I played Gamecube on back in the day).
About the reset switch: while I couldn't tell from the footage, I was thinking you should have a couple contacts or screw terminals on the power supply that you could connect those two leads to. Some power supplies for low voltage electronics have the ability to be reset or turned off simply by providing a contact closure via a button or a switch, which I would guess is exactly what that button does. This kind of stuff is really common in late 90s/early 2000s intercoms, access control, surveillance and pro sound equipment, so it would make sense if this had something similar. I'm a low voltage electrician by trade (also based out of Seattle!) and may be able to offer more suggestions or help with finding parts and pieces, etc., if you felt like reaching out.
Also, I'd keep the CRT. :)
Or the switch could be one that keep the contacts closed all the time and opens the circuit when you press it. That way tou can put It in series with the power from the wall tô the power supply.
im a sparky and agree.
I'd be surprised if there wasn't leads on that timer with the dip switches for the reset button, seems like it would be the all-in-one solution that would be most convenient. Since he isn't using it, there are other options/mods that could be done to the console itself or power supply.
I bet you're right, that they connect to the power supply. There's also a chance they could hook to the timer.
CRT all the way!
Such a cool find! One of my absolute holiest of grails is the old school Gameboy kiosk, the ones that could display it on a real TV. Been searching for years but they rarely come up and when they do, they ain’t cheap :( I also really used to love the old SNES ones that had Mario, Super Tennis and F-Zero, I want to say. Simpler times man.
I bet the “Magazine Rack” was actually a “Guides Book Rack”!
Those controllers need some cleaning love.
Never thought I would get into kiosk collecting but it happened by accident. I kept finding them, and getting good deals, and now I have 8. Def keep the CRT in there.
Does the reset button attach to that timer somehow?
yep thinking the same thing. maby just interrupting the power supply and giving the effect of a reset.
I'd bet it went to a simple relay that interrupted the power. It would be relatively simply to design such a circuit to cut the power briefly to the power suppy.
Maybe even the powerstrip?
It doesn’t. It’s a regular Gamecube and the power adapter is also an original
BuzzinsPetRock78 I think also somewhere at powerstrip. I would say this reset will reset everything from the power supply
there's actually over 40 gamecube demo discs that were released. There's a google spreadsheet somewhere with them all listed.
Keep the kiosk because it looks better, it's authentic, and like you said they are getting scarce. 20 years went by in a snap. In 20 years you can show off your super rare 40 year old kiosk with an antique display.
💥Nintendo💥
⚡Now you're playing with power⚡
Definitely keep the CRT, there getting harder to find especially mine its a sony windscreen CRT and ill never sell it.
Go fuck yourself
lol
That’s the one I have triton
In order to setup the reset button you have to take the GameCube apart then see where the reset button is attached then unplug those two cablles the plug the kiosk cablles into the reset buttons cable port.
The controllers can be easily replaced. You just remove the bolt in the front with an allen wrench.
The two connectors for the reset. Those look like they go onto some sort of rely device. Does the Kiosk have a built in power strip?
In that case, the connectors most likely hook up to that. The reset usually just cuts the power to the power strip.
The CRT! Your CRT has component in! Use the Component Cables on the CRT!!!
Have you seen the price of component GC cables?
Yeah, those component cables are very pricey.
@@antonioaguiarfilho Then use S-Video. The cables are like $10 and blow composite out the water.
S video would be better. Component cables are still more expensive than the eon adapter. Which is crazy. I guess if you really really want original cords and such. I have the component cords and paid like $80 or so back in the day
Ive got a PS2 kiosk sitting in my shed since 2011 (minus the console and CRT, those are in my attic). It used to be in my old jobs lunch room, I got it for free when we all got let go. Planning on doing something with it once I move to a bigger place in the country.
Keep it authentic with the JVC crt, that’s what I’d do anyway.
Keep the crt so use a component option it looks like there’s one in the back or can of the CRT
those racks for the side would look pretty cool mounted to the wall either side of the kiosk. that way you can see those wonderful sides, and still display the racks, and use them.
and, you could keep an eye out for a CRT that's the right size but dead , strip out the internals and mount an LCD in it (make sure you ground it before you strip it). if you get the screen size right it will fit and look the part, but still fill the space as it should.
Keep the crt but iff possible use component out? I know those cables can be really expensive but if you can get your hands on some I think that would be the best option
Keep the CRT but paint the front panel black and the speakers gamecube purple.
That kiosk is an instant mic drop in any debate over who has the better GameCube collection
Keep that JVC CRT in there - it looks a million times better.
yeah! CRT masterrace!
@brett linthicum if you were over seven you'd look better
@brett linthicum if your talkin brain capacity 7 inches is about 7 percent. seems a little high for someone of your standards.
The thing is if it can hold the crt overtime, but definitely keep the crt
Recently got into collecting old consoles and games (nothing impressive yet in my tiny collection), hopefully I can find one of these someday, would be my pride and joy
nice!!! old CRT is the way!
