I've been on the hunt for a black set of Taito's Vewlix-to-Egret and Vewlix-to-Sega (Astro, Blast, etc.) control panel adapters. They fill in the left-side and right-side gaps left on the Vewlix panel space when an Egret or Sega panel is installed. I owe thanks to @twistedsymphony for tipping me off to them in one of his helpful replies to a different thread last year. It then took me quite a while to actually find a picture of a Vewlix cab with them installed.

I don't know if they're rare, but I know they don't regularly pop up on YAJ. A white set sold last month (which I unfortunately missed) and I haven't seen many others despite quite a bit of searching. The kits appear to have originally shipped with both an Egret and Sega set of left and right gap fillers along with short wiring harnesses for each. I don't need the wiring harnesses, but definitely want to track down the metal pieces if possible. Despite not actually serving any functional purpose--and also being exceedingly simple in their design--I'd like to snag a pair. Please let me know if you have a set or two you're not using and I'll give them a good home. Thanks!

Here's what they look like (they're also described in some of the Vewlix manuals):

For the sake of completeness, here's a photo of a Sega pair installed on a Vewlix cab at Game Newton (nearest cab):

Vewlix-to-Egret
I've seen (and owned) Sega ones. Do Egret ones exist? I don't know that I've ever seen a Vewlix with an Egret panel.

I don't think I still have a set, but I'll look in the bottom of my cabs for you, I always throw all the little brackets and things in the bottom.

Thanks for taking a look, @rewrite. Much appreciated. Taito definitely manufactured some for use with Egret panels (see manual page below), but I also have never actually seen an Egret panel installed on a Vewlix cab. More than willing to post a few pics if I'm able to track a set a down...haha.

I didn't find any, but glad to see someone did!

Thanks again for checking, @rewrite. Definitely didn't expect to track down a set so quickly, but looks like @g60hot is going to hook me up. Always impressed with the collective set of knowledge and arcade goodies amassed by the members here. Guess I didn't have to scour YAJ for hours and hours these past few months...kidding, I would have been doing that anyway 8)
