Now that you've gone through the process, are you going to order again?

 

[brad808]

The only reason I ordered in the first place is because I wanted one for myself. Now that I have mine I have no reason to get more other than to help other people out and that's a pretty big headache to take on for no reason. Ordering just 1 you are likely over $2k that's why I bought 5 of them to help spread all those inspection fees, dock fees, security fees, wire transfer fees, bank draft fees, etc out over multiple units.

I keep telling myself to not ship big things and then I keep doing stupid stuff.

If stupidity ever kick in, post it on PinRev.

I've always been a fan of Vewlix cabs and love the look of them ever since I stumbled across replica scratch builds like this from back in '10 by Donovan Myers.

I found a guy on kijiji in Brampton a few months ago that can CNC one out of MDF for $600 unfinished with control panel. You just have to sand, paint, install internals and wire up controls yourself.

The same thing happened to me. Once they catch your eye it's hard not to want one. I was considering the wooden replicas at one point as well but came to the conclusion that by the time I factor in screen, controls, speakers, assembly, painting, all the work, etc I'd be left with something costing around the same price and ultimately I probably wouldn't be happy with. Then again I was quoted $1300 for a wooden cab not $600. In the end I'm really glad I went with my gut and went the way I did. My photography skills leave much to be desired but in person the cabs are incredibly nice. I was seriously considering not listing the last one for sale and keeping two for myself (one vertical, one horizontal).

A 32" LCD flipped vertical for SHMUPS would be amazing! Did you ever watch the 100 Yen Japanese Arcade Experience from a few years ago?

Steve from TopTierArcade was over last week and we were watching a bit of it in the background while chatting. If you can't find or want a copy let me know

If I didn't have my dual screen 4 player Nintendo red tent MAME setup, I would probably be asking the guy to CNC me a custom wooden VEWLIX style cab with a slightly larger control panel to accomadate 4 players and slightly LCD bigger screen.

Never even heard of it until just now. I'll definitely check it out though, thanks.

I had an old 37" lcd that I put in a vertical cabinet. I literally built it in a weekend, so it's not that pretty but it plays great. I wanted to try out the game elf 412 in 1 Jamma board. If your into shmups then do it, it is amazing. The game elf only has about 100 great games, but MAME would have a lot more.
