Sweet deal. These are nice screens . . at this price I may end up with 1 in every room

JackTucky · « **Reply #2 on:** October 04, 2008, 06:24:56 pm »

I forget are these standard power cords or do they require a brick?

bryanport · « **Reply #3 on:** October 04, 2008, 09:18:20 pm »

What wires & power cords do I need to hook up this monitor? also where can I get a face plate ? I plan on mounting this in the wall for my Jukebox.
Thanks

I would assume that you'll need either a 9-pin serial cable or a usb cable for the touch interface and a power cord like a PC power supply. He doesn't list the model number though so I can't be sure. It's an open frame monitor so you will have to build a bezel. If it's all up to snuff, $92 shipped is a KILLER deal!

My $60 offer was just accepted

you guys might jsut get me in more trouble with the wife... Please post model number when you get 'em!

Thanks!

moloch · « **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2008, 11:36:42 pm »

my $60 was accepted as well.

At this rate I think that these will go pretty quick.

hattrick10 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 06, 2008, 08:23:26 am »

Just to give you guys a little heads up, my offer of $50 was accepted this morning. $72 shipped for a brand new 15" ELO regardless of the model is a killer deal. If I had the money to play with, I would consider buying the rest of his monitors and reselling them!

Now I can get started on my dual touchscreen jukebox! (Already bought a 19" ELO)

JackTucky · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2008, 10:53:31 am »

Can you post when you get the monitors please? Let us know how they are. Thanks.

I posted a question and he answered immediately.

Dear jacktucky,

I'm not sure what the model number is, yes it does take a standard power
cord.

padstack · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2008, 11:22:34 am »

BTW, I inched my way up to $45 offers and all were immediately declined. It looks like $50 is the rock bottom price. I SO want to jump on one more (I have one for a wall-mount in my new master bedroom, and one for a touch PC mounted in the wall in my garage for pulling up exploded diagrams, etc while restoring my truck), but I would really like to jump on one of these ultra-cheap deals for another unit for an automated bar project (i.e. bar-monkey type thing). Not to mention that this is a steal even for a 15" LCD deal.

I keep telling myself "the deal was here once, it will be here again". Probably not too far off considering that there was the bulk buy I was in on and then this deal here too. With these being new though, I'm having a hard time passing... These go on a DIRECT basis from Elo for over $400 new.

If you are looking for one, grab 'em @ $50. You CAN'T beat this right now (and if they're gone, my temptation will be gone too! LOL!)

JackTucky · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2008, 11:34:09 am »

I got 2 for $50 each.

urbecrisch · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2008, 01:48:22 pm »

Couldn't resist...had to buy another at $50. I can always sell one at a later date if I don't use it

shardian · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2008, 02:04:45 pm »

In looking at that pic, it appears to have a power brick style power input. The ELO I have has a standard PC power cable input. So if it indeed needs a power brick, the deal just soured a bit.

JackTucky · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2008, 02:09:36 pm »

The seller told me it takes a standard power cord. We'll see if he's lying.

urbecrisch · « **Reply #15 on:** October 07, 2008, 12:44:44 am »

Wonder if these were pulled from the internet kiosks he's selling in his store.

makes sense.

JackTucky · « **Reply #17 on:** October 07, 2008, 12:52:31 am »

hey, did anyone ask if these are working?

urbecrisch · « **Reply #18 on:** October 07, 2008, 01:21:48 am »

If this guy ends up to be a dud, there's going to be 40 pissed off buyers and his neg feedback will go through the roof! They have to be in working condition if he pulled them from brand new kiosks!

beanboy33 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 07, 2008, 07:16:35 am »

This is what the add says. (brand new)

"This is an auction for one 15 inch elo touchscreen , however, 40 are available.

They are brand new. Stripped from kiosks that were new in the box.

What you see is what you get. No wires included.

Ask ALL question before bidding/buying.

THANK YOU"

Which usually means: "I don't feel like researching this product, reading model numbers, powering them up, etc. This way, if it is not what you expected, please don't hold me responsible."

Mine was shipped today, I'll post some details when I receive it...

Definitely let us know. I will be in for 2 @ $50 or $60 if they work (and don't need a brick for power).

batdive · « **Reply #23 on:** October 07, 2008, 11:57:27 pm »

Well not sure if 100% compatible but if it does need the brick...

They also have a couple more for "Elo" with higher amps (4 and 5)

Or this one if it needs the wierd 4 pin plug in:

Might work

hattrick10 · « **Reply #24 on:** October 08, 2008, 07:23:40 am »

Well, just checked the updated tracking information and the monitor I purchased isnt due for delivery until Monday the 13th. (California to Michigan). If somebody else receives their monitor before this please post some details. If im gonna need a power brick i'd like to get it ordered ASAP.

JackTucky · « **Reply #25 on:** October 08, 2008, 10:33:12 am »

my tracking information still shows billing information received. At some point I thought the delivery date was Friday but who knows.

urbecrisch · « **Reply #26 on:** October 08, 2008, 11:36:44 am »

My original date of delivery was Friday but today it now says Monday

Neverending Project · « **Reply #27 on:** October 08, 2008, 05:21:27 pm »

Just put in an offer today at $50 and it was rejected. He is now sold out, and the auction is closed. It was a good deal while it lasted. Hopefully someone will report back with a nice project using one of these.

Looks like ebay user planetarcades got 4, and a couple others (strikermom2005, drwfandanbuster) for 3 each.

urbecrisch · « **Reply #28 on:** October 09, 2008, 07:04:33 am »

My first bid of $60 was accepted and shipped out. My second bid of $50 was accepted and shipped but then yesterday I got an email from Paypal saying the second monitor was refunded and would not be shipped out. This is the message I got from the seller:

"Unfortunately, the last load of touch screens were damaged by water. We are expecting more shortly, I will contact you when they arrive. Sorry for the inconvenience. You have been fully refunded."

Not sure how many have been damaged but it looks like he's getting more monitors. I'll post some news when I get mine on Monday.

JackTucky · « **Reply #29 on:** October 09, 2008, 08:49:34 am »

I guess he finally shipped mine.

Your package is in the UPS system and has a rescheduled delivery date of 10/14/2008.

javeryh · « **Reply #30 on:** October 09, 2008, 09:43:21 am »

Hopefully he will have those monitors soon - I missed out!

batdive · « **Reply #31 on:** October 10, 2008, 12:48:49 am »

To my suprise tracking info shows I might have mine tomorrow.. I'll post some pics/updates if it happens

batdive · « **Reply #32 on:** October 10, 2008, 04:36:04 pm »

Well got mine today... and first I hope anyone else who ordered got better packaging then I did. Barely enough bubble wrap to cover the monitor once and a box that was to big for the monitor and nothing to fill in the empty space.

Has a bent corner mount (appears not done in shipping).

Initial inspection all stickers have "warranty exp 0102" or "warranty exp 0101". Which goes with the rest of what I have found so far. The part # for the touchscreen controller is "244791-000" which a look at ELO's website shows it was in touchscreens in 1999, which pretty much goes with the warranty stickers.

Still trying to get more on that part #, appears serial connection but only has header connections on it.

Edit: Here is the info on the touchscreen controller I mentioned above (discontinued 2001.. HAHAH go figure..sigh

)
http://www.elotouch.com/Products/Discontinued/Controllers/c2310b0101.asp

As far as power it appears by the information above for the touch controller you have to have two power cables the one for the above touch controller and the monitor power. The monitor has two points for power for either of the power cords shown here:

http://www.elotouch.com/Support/TechnicalSupport/qsconnections.asp

Hope that helps those that got one to help figure out what we all need to do to get them ready for use.

The front screen does look good (IE no marks/scratches..etc).

I'll try to get some pictures up a little later.

beanboy33 · « **Reply #33 on:** October 10, 2008, 10:01:05 pm »

Got mine today also. Everything batdive said said above is the same for me. except for the bent frame. On the back of my monitor there is a flex ribbon cable loose. It looks like it should plug into a long skinny board that is held in a pouch on the back. This board has 6 micro push buttons on it. I guess this must be the control board (focus, menu, ect) for the monitor.

The one good thing is that the screen has no marks at all.

javeryh · « **Reply #34 on:** October 11, 2008, 12:02:27 am »

Is it easy to power up and connect to a PC?

padstack · « **Reply #35 on:** October 11, 2008, 12:23:53 am »

I might be wrong, but from the looks of the website, you shoudl only need to use one of the two power methods. The AC or DC power should power the touch controller too. Overall, still looks like a good deal. It looks to be a serial interface though so you'll probably need a 9-pin serial cable.

batdive · « **Reply #36 on:** October 11, 2008, 12:31:54 am »

well I would agree you only need one of the two power cables. The rest are header cables so trying to find the serial header cable is a little tougher, since its such a great new technology

So far the hardest is the power cable for the touch control board. Appears its a keyboard power cable from what I can get, but not 100% sure yet.

Falkon215 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 13, 2008, 08:52:16 pm »

If you can't find a molex/serial cable adaptor.Only other choice might be to change over the controller board.There on e-bay for $65 dollars.Power supply with shipping and board hitting almost $100 bucks.board number is 859778-000/2500uz.Please tell me there is a cheaper way.Don't quote me on this.I have never seen a touch screen set up like this.Need to find someone who has delt with this model touchscreen.

JackTucky · « **Reply #38 on:** October 14, 2008, 10:21:05 am »

I haven't received mine yet but are these a bust?

padstack · « **Reply #39 on:** October 14, 2008, 10:30:06 am »

If someone could post some hi-res pics of the connectors, etc I might be able to help out.
