Best place to get a Vewlix. Im in the US

Post by muell67 »

Ive been throwing around the Idea of getting another candy cabinet since I sold my super neo 29 a few years back and Its finally the time. I want a vewlix. Does anyone know who the best place to import one through would be? Or if there are any for sale already in the states. Im looking for a real taito one not a knock off. I see there are a few on ebay from france but thats all Ive seen.

I was looking at http://www.coinopexpress.com/ awhile ago and they seem to sell knockoff and real Taito Vewlix's, China versions not Japanese versions, I'm not too sure what the differences are, possibly quality or different monitor etc

The Chinese versions are real Taito Vewlix's, they make them in Japan and China versions.

Coinopexpress is a very shady store. There's countless reports of receiving damaged goods from them, including those vewlix's.

an arcade in philadelphia had some knock off vewlix type cabs (red storm iirc) set up for street fighter 4. the monitors had a bit of lag. that's probably going to be the main difference.

The Ebay sellers from France are probably Neo-Legend, I think some French forums said they came with monitors that were different than the usual Chinese and Japanese Vewlix's, but I think were made in China also.

I have read some bad things about coinoppexpress and there cabinets. I would really prefer some one else import it into the states and I would buy it from them. I know I would be paying a premium for this. Problem is finding someone importing them. I would probably consider a knock off if it was well built and Im not to concerned with the monitor. That can always be replaced.
