WTB Vewlix/Chewlix

[Derick2k]

I actually took two Vewlix Ls OFF my order because nobody was buying them at $1,500. Probably I'm doing something wrong, idk.

You had to charge $1,800-2,000 at $1500 people think they are messed up cabs, lol

Cereth, is your order a done deal? And if so, about how often do you do these orders? If you or anyone else does them every so often, i'll wait to jump on on board.

 

[Cereth]

the last container should arrive sometime in the new year, I'm just waiting for the overstock cabs I ordered to ship. They don't know when they will come.

There's one unclaimed Vewlix L AMI left, I was going to keep it if nobody took it. Next container won't be until Spring, I'm overworking myself right now and I need time to let my space empty back out

Ok Cereth a few questions:

1. Was that unclaimed cab $1500?
2. Are you dead set on keeping it for yourself?
3. Was getting serious about snagging one 1st or 2nd week of December
4. If you are willing to relinquish it, what do i have to do to hold that cab, a deposit?

I think there's a stigma that the L cabs are barely better than a chewlix. I'm not sure why, but people put them down pretty hard compared to the others over the years.

Hey, remember when you pitched a fit about other places offering this kinda reception? Yea, keep on being an asshole while convincing yourself others are the problem I guess....

Hell of a first post. Bold. Dramatic. And making as bad of an impression on this community as Jassin has on you..

Tw3ek is a good dude, he just doesn't pull any punches.

When it's literally your only post on the site after being here several years it just makes you look like an ass. *shrugs*

1. Yes
2. No
3. Works, won't arrive until early January probably. Waiting on last few items to fill the container.
4. Generally deposit or full payment

Sounds awesome. Any pics by chance, or is it safe to assume all Vewlix L AMI's are blue?

 

[Cereth]

I THINK these are from the second order, not sure.

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.

They vary greatly in quality. I've played on both Chewlix and Vewlix and one of the chewlix felt like it was going to fall apart, while the other was solid. I'll try not go too off topic:

Chewlix are wired with a jamma harness, a cheap amp, and some odd connectors. The screens are reflective, and some are pretty laggy. For the price and all the work you'd have to do in that machine- you might as well spend a little more and get a Vewlix.

The wiring the the chewlix is all over the place too- Unless you plan on stripping the whole thing and rewiring it from the ground up, I'd pass. Cereth is selling some Vewlix cabinets for a really good price, I'd jump on one of those if I were you.

Also forgot to mention I want to use it for my Capcom/street fighter PCBs

I'm confused why you're looking for a widescreen LCD cab if what you want to play on it are games that are meant for 3:4 CRTs. They're not going to look good on any kind of Vewlix screen, and you're possibly going to need to invest in some level of conversion gear or a supergun setup to get it all running, depending on how the cab is wired for jamma or not.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, but it sounds like you means CPS1/2/3 boards. Your budget would more than accommodate a proper candy cab, Astro City or whatever, and the games will run and look way better on it.

I don't really know why people want to buy Vewlixes and Noirs at all for playing JAMMA games, but they do, and if they're happy that's good I suppose. But there are definitely paths of less resistance.

The good thing is you guys don't have to understand. No interest in Candies or CRT. My main focus is Street Fighter 4. I have no issues with the older games on an LCD. I'd rather have an all in one and the Vewlix is my favorite cab. But thanks for trying to push your preferences on me.

Thanks for the info Radiant. Much appreciated!

No one did.

Two people said they don't understand, and the first said your suggested price better suited a traditional candy cabinet, which it does.

You may want to re-read Aurich's first paragraph cuz it clearly did. This why i tend to stay out of forums cuz most comments don't help the OP's original post. None of that contributes to my original post of wanting a Vewlix. Whether X game was meant for this or that is irrelevant to me or my OP. I really only care about who is selling a Vewlix

As I said...

This is fact.

Also fact.

Yes, he said that they'd look better on the CRT. He did offer an opinion. At no point did he force it on you though by giving you very real facts alongside his opinion.
