Ok, so today I picked up a polaroid photobooth in working order. you can see pixhttp://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/reptilehead/album?.dir=a149scd&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/reptilehead/my_photos (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/reptilehead/album?.dir=a149scd&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/reptilehead/my_photos)
I'm not sure what to do with it, originally I was going to convert it into a wild jukebox, with a 10"(roughly) touchscreen, but since everything seems to be in working order, I don't know if I should. It's in rebuildable condition, the wood is beaten bad, and the graphics are faded, but the cardboard sonotube (where the camera is) is in perfect condition. It's got a dollar bill reciever that the lock is halfway drilled, but the top lock is opened.
Anyone got an idea of what to do with this, should I cut it up for a juke, rebuild it as a photobooth, or if anyone is interested in it and happens to have a touchscreen setup and wants to grab it from las vegas?
I guess what im looking for is not only inspiration, but I'm looking for opinions of to kill or not to kill, out of all the people around, I figured that this group would know if its worth keeping as is or destroy it. And if I should destroy it, someone might have an idea how to mount the speakers in it.

Sell it I guess.....
I photo machine into a Jukebox - I would love to work out how you are going to do this, better to start over than work with this.
As a photo machine - why would you want a working photomachine in your house.

Well, its big, has a round tube (where the picture taking equipment is) a big black box where the glass is... it COULD in theory be a juke... remove the bench, take away everything BUT the round thing, it DEFINATELY has enough room for the PC in it, its just mounting speakers that would be a probelm.
Either way though, free is free, so im out really nothing at this point, its got a working bill validator so that alone made it worth my time.
Tonight when I get home, I'm going to actually sit down and look at it and see what I can do.
I'm honestly leaning twords selling it, or trading it, just becuase it IS still in working order, but it almost sounded like a challenge to turn it into a juke! >:D
.... I dunno... damn impulse agreements to pick up somethig wildly different for free....
