Cereth's a cool dude! No hijacking going on. Im been trying to get a few cabs with Cereth, but there just isnt stock available for what Im looking for. You guys are lucky on the west coast, you have easier access to cabs, the cross country shipping can be very cost prohibitive for most of us on the east coast to get cabs.We are hi-jacking Cereth's thread
FS GS Containers: New listings, Vewlix DIA, PRas 3, Rhythm, etc.

Correction. @Cereth is a stand-up brutha. A class act. A steward for our hobby. I gave him a little grief with his first post ever but am glad he came to our little forum.

Now you're talkingOk back to @Mitsurugi-w, so when you starting to import cabs for the east coast?
@Mitsurugi question for you...

Also here in Europe I've seen some Groove Coasters being sold and advertised as 'broken screen', so I would say there is definitely something common to cause this...
Shipping is like $1.5-3k.
^THAT^
The hard part is finding a reliably supplier in Japan who's not only willing and capable of sourcing GOOD cabs (sooo many of them just ship junk), but also pack them properly and communicate well.

Yo if @Mitsurugi-w wants to do an East Coast order, fuck yeah! My supply is only so slow because they get them in spurts and only really service up very good clean cabs. Other places will shit candy cabs all over you, I just haven't had time or really motivation yet to branch out and look at those groups. I can get you set up with my supplier if you are ever serious about doing it, or would be willing to arrange one.
The import actually isn't part of my main business either, I'm just building myself up along with it so I can do freeplay events on West Coast. Thread hijacking is 100% Cereth-approved!
I'm at a show right now so I haven't been keeping up too much on the forums. Just a quick update about candies since a lot of inquiries come in, and I hate to leave people hanging. There's 12 slots left on my container for candy cabs. I need a lot of candy cabs myself. Their new stock comes in March, and if I haven't bought anything else in the time until then, 12 will go on. I just don't know how much will be available for purchase yet.
Feel free to keep talking, just keep in mind I'm not paying much attention for the next week or so!

I've bought from three different suppliers. I didn't have issues with any of them.
Expecting burn free monitors and immaculate cabs? Yeah, that's not going to happen unless you fly over there yourself.

I wouldn't call my cabs immaculate, but they ALL have serviced monitors with good convergence, low or no burn, are fully cleaned with parts replaced, and touch-up paint done. It's as close as you get. They treat their games like their children, and are in constant excellent communication with me. I actually DO expect near burn-free monitors and near-immaculate condition cabs when I import.

I'm not sure how feasible it is but since I got a new job that pays well I'm now in the market for something metal from the 80's. If you come across anything like a Jaleco Pony II or III, Namco Consolette, or even an Aero City please hit me up!

I want a Viewlix, but im concerned how it hooks up. Ideally id like to hook it up to my PS4 so I can play Tekken 7 and DBZF. Id also like the Jamma option to stick in normal PCB's as I find them also. Any suggestions?

Buy a Vewlix, get a JAMMA kit for it (JAMMA games are now covered)... Get a PS360+, wire its inputs to a JAMMA fingerboard (now you can plug in control support for PS4).
The only piece you'd need to switch around is the audio amp, it can't be connected with the audio from the JAMMA kit at the same time.

I hate to make the recommendation, but get a Cewlix. The ones Tokyo Attack get have an actually decent Samsung monitor, and it's more than half the cost of a real Vewlix. Build quality is surprisingly good and it's already JAMMA.
About Ponys and the such, I think you're almost better off finding them stateside than to import

@dos Ponys in the US are a rarity, I wouldn't expect to find one easily, or cheaply. I've not seen one for sale state-side in... three years? Consolettes seem even more unlikely.
Aero City cabs are everywhere though, and very solid little cabs. Can be had cheap if you're willing to ship. They come up fairly often at $150-300 in SoCal, some needing more work than others, tack on 350-400 for shipping, should be able to get one fairly easily under $800 to your door, which is probably better than most East Coast candy cab prices at this point. Even a really really clean one wouldn't run over 5-600 out here.

Yeah my thinking regarding Ponys (etc) was that since they're so rare in the US that I would have one imported, but I guess they're very rare in Japan too? I mean, I have been to Japan and never actually seen any in arcades (or really anything with a CRT besides the typical Sega/Taito "plastic" cabs) but I assumed there must be some sitting in a warehouse somewhere that someone who sells cabs to westerners would know about. I guess that since the cabs were all metal most were sold as scrap as soon as they were put out of commission rather than kept around like Astro Citys etc.
Also who would be good to contact about an Aero City anywhere in the continental US? I actually know a freight shipper who has already helped me get one cab so arranging shipping would not be a problem for me.
