Want To Buy
Thank you for the replies. I am located in Shreveport, Louisiana. My price range is $1200-1500. This doesn't take into account shipping but it is what is. Depending on the color and condition of the cab i'll gladly bite the bullet on shipping as I've wanted one of these since '09
All the ones I've seen were shipped out to work with a PS3/4.

Heheh you are funny...
Aside from @Cereth I've never seen ANY real/Taito Vewlix (not even a freak'n L) sell for 1500$ (KC's price was 1800$).
No we aren't even talking about what it's going to be to ship it, thats all extra baby.
You are most likely looking at a Chewlix in that price range (unless you get lucky and C still has some unsold in his November/December container).
As @rewrite said most of the Chewlix cabs sold are going to be configured to work with a PS4 (ie HDMI device without a need for a PSU/IO).
By the time you add these missing components to the cab (achieving real JAMMA/JVS support)... You'll be another 500~700$ deep, trust me.

Personally I'd never sell my Vewlix C, but I'd let my Diamond go tomorrow fully configured with a NetBoot/PiForce Naomi inside.... If you put 5k$ in my hand.

Its funny to me when people state the price they are willing to pay.
And this is basically less than 95% of all the machines I've ever seen for sale.
Sure you wouldn't like a Cave board to go with your new cab?
Just tell 'em your range is 300$.
Around here, I don't even need to worry about shipping (could pick this up tomorrow)... But check out that guys price...
BTW just so you know... That machine has no JVS IO in it either (a 240$ PCB new from Taito).

I'd be letting go of my F to get another Diamond. The white and blue just looks so much nicer. And I'd only be out 2-300 out of pocket for the "upgrade".

In all seriousness lets all take a deep breath. Jassin your post came across as condescending but i know you mean well. As a noob on this forum even I know you're very knowledgeable when it comes to arcade stuff just from reading posts you've replied to in the past. So for me no harm no foul.
I know REAL vewlix's aint cheap, which is why i titled my post Vewlix/Chewlix. I'm not dumb enough to believe someone on here would sell a real vewlix in my price range. The range i gave was my "ideal" price range. I know shipping cabs ain't cheap, i had my current noir clone shipped to Louisiana from California. Sometimes you have to pay to play. So even if your cab isn't in my ideal price range, i'd still like to know. Once again thanks guys!

I am hesitant to comment because I don't want to offend current cabs owners but for the love of Jebus doesn't buy a chewlix
Any specific reasons why SNK? We all have things that matter to us when it comes to branding. For me its cars. I don't really care one way or the other when it comes to the vewlix. But it you have legitimate reasons why i should avoid a chewlix i am all ears.
Hell of a first post. Bold. Dramatic. And making as bad of an impression on this community as Jassin has on you.

Jassin has strong opinions and he doesn't mind sharing them. He's a good guy though and he knows his fair share.
As far as shipping cabs not being cheap, you're always better off shipping 2 than 1. It's usually just *barely* more expensive.
I actually took two Vewlix Ls OFF my order because nobody was buying them at $1,500. Probably I'm doing something wrong, idk.
In regards to Cewlix, you just get what you pay for. That's pretty much it when it comes to the difference between them.
About shipping, 2 cabs barely costs more than shipping 1 cab.
