How can I get my hands on one of these? I've been looking everywhere, and there is so little information about them online!

@xmtsystems As far as we know, this is a one-of-a-kind piece. We have never found another Selfscan display of this type before.

@hp2114b ty. I ask mainly because in your description, you say "exceedingly rare" (which implies there are more out there), rather than one of a kind. Thank you for sharing this video though. Very cool stuff!
