Many months ago I purchased two JVL Vortexs at an auction for about 125 total (maybe a little more w/ fees). Anyway, I did not get to inspect them before purchase. When i got them home I found out that they were missing parts. I thought by buying two of them I would have enough parts to make one working machine. Now it looks like I am short at least a mother board and power supply. The second system looks like it has an IO board (camera ran out of batteries and is charging now so no pictures of second system).
My question is: Are these salvageable to make one bartop or did I waste the $$$.

from the picture you posted it looks like you have everything there minus the computer.
provided you have at least a computer in the other machine, you should be okay to make one.
the model computer you need is the "JP20" should you find you need one and need to search for it on ebay or from vendors.
depending on the software version, (itouch 10) you may need up the ram to 128mb. Itouch 9 and under are fine with 64mb that came with them.

Thanks lilshawn. I don't think it has a computer. Are these worth anything in this state? I am just giving up on this project.

they are worth a little bit. they aren't completely worthless. a vendor could be interested in purchasing them to repair or replace a damaged unit.
in their current state, a home user could just turn them into a touch screen jukebox or a click game cabinet.
the JVL company went out of the counter top game business so parts are pretty slim out there. maybe sell the parts on ebay.

Where are you located? I would buy one just to "have one" and possibly look into restoring it. Otherwise i would see if i could convert it to a megatouch Ion. Would be a fun project for me if the price is right.

I am in Florida. Zip code is 33410. These things are heavy. I've looked into shipping them to the north east and mid west. It ranged from $45 to $55 to ship both together (about 60 lbs total).

Im in PA. I really only want one without knowing what i would need to restore or convert, I didnt want to spend more then $100. Right off the bat, that psu would need to be replaced to convert, thats a given. You dont know by chance what brand touchscreen they have. It looks to be serial from the pictures as far as i can tell.

I believe they are 3M microtouch same as the megatouch.

Bigster what does the button key say, inside the back looks like a button battery itouch 7, 8,9,10 etc..LMK I may be interested if selling. I'm also in fl 34945 zip

I have some extra ibuttons. I'm in Canada though. (different software) I have CD's to install fresh software so it shouldn't matter I don't think. I've never tried installing CA software on a US machine or vice versa. It could just be a coin/bill acceptor thing.
I have one itouch 6, one 7, and two 9's for sure... I possibly have a 10 I'd have to double check it.

Do you have 9 and 10 plus software? I tried to find a download, Looks like they (jvl) had it up on there site, Not any more. Do you know of a site I could download it? What are you asking for the 9 or the 10 button with S/W?

yeah I can do that. I'll have to do it probably monday. right after work today i'm taking off for the long(ish) weekend and i'll be back monday evening.
I have pretty fast internet at home (100/50) so it won't take long to upload it on my end. the work internet is dog slow (3/0.25) it would take a week to upload so i'll have to do it from home.
if you don't hear from me by monday night, send me a PM to remind me.
