However if there is such a thing a modern Japanese Vewlix I have no idea what it's innards look like.

Re: Chinese or Japanese Vewlix
no , the Vewlix AMI does not come with the vertical Wie-ya power supply. I installed the one shown in the Picture.
the AMI Vewlix is identical to the L

Re: Chinese or Japanese Vewlix
So do the clones lack the Taito audio boards then? This is getting more confusing by the day

Re: Chinese or Japanese Vewlix
the clones are different in every way, beside most part of the Shell (?).
Taito licensed the Name "Vewlix" , nothing else. So a clone might be a Vewlix but not a Taito Vewlix.
Not sure about the clones that have the Taito Logo, they might have used original Taito Parts for them or they might be bootleg parts (or completly un-licensed Vewlix cabs), i don`t know.
In the end it dosen`t matter , Taito licensed the name for one reason only, to get atleast some money from the clone sales , thats all.

I think there's enough specific internal features to be able to tell apart a clone and a Japanese 'Taito' Vewlix, if people want to. I think it's just a matter of being to avoid being ripped off and knowing a clone isn't being pushed as an Japanese original (at a inflated price)

Re: Chinese or Japanese Vewlix
Here's another to add to the list. Although no one would be fooled by it. It's running a PC inside and works out about £500 before shipping.

Blackstorm/Redstorm chinese thing. Look's like newer versions can tate...
I'd never noticed, before seeing Johnnychaos's post above, how similar the bottom half is to a Vewlix L.

Upload a picture to flickr - or another photosite and once thats done the should be an "IMG" link for it - when your writing a post there's some buttons above the text box including one that says "IMG" - then just paste the link between the two "IMG" tags (text) that appear.

In the last one I can read taito in that little board, don't know if that is decisive.

Re: Chinese or Japanese Vewlix
What about this one? Seems too clean to be Japanese, like it was just assembled.
