This is hard to say because every country and freight company will be different.barky65 wrote:The only thing I can't pin down is exactly how much shipping door to door would be.
I personally can't give much feedback from a US perspective. I can definitely say my costs didn't incur any other fees except for the fees I paid shipporter, but that's the reason I chose shipporter, because they were delivery door to door and all the costs they provide didn't have any additional fees.barky65 wrote: I have gotten a quote or two the puts shipping in the $700 USD range door to door, which I'm willing to pay, but I have been unable to find out if that covers EVERYTHING that would cost for the import. I am in the US, and I have heard there are things like customs brokers you sometimes have to pay for (but maybe that's only if you don't use door to door?), that you will have to pay before they release your delivery to you (DHL in particular mentions this). Could OP or someone with more experience tell me exactly what the costs would be for shipping to the US?
With importing though, you always have to give yourself a buffer, it may cost you an additional 10-20% to actually deliver to your door, but those are the fees you need to budget for.barky65 wrote: I found a post over on NeoGeo that confused me even more with this, because he seemed to have spent 650 dollars and then spent an addition 500 or more in fees. here's the link to the post: http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthrea ... ost4277440 . I basically don't want to be in this guys situation if I pull the trigger on this, and the information out there about fees with importing is fractured at best.

You want it to default as a vertical cab?aniquilatorbloody wrote: * can the screen be rotated easily ? I saw what our bud here had to do for his to rotate, is there a way for me to ask it to be ready for it though?
Can't say I can help there. My experience is only for AU. I think there have been people that organised door to door with the supplier so that's another option.aniquilatorbloody wrote: * I'm in California - USA, does anyone know of a good door delivery in these parts?
Thanks mRCaESaR , the website you provided will be very handy. I was having some communication issues with them asking for this 1p panel.
I'm also from Cali trying to order a clone from Alibaba. Were you able to successfully purchase one?aniquilatorbloody wrote:Thanks mRCaESaR , the website you provided will be very handy. I was having some communication issues with them asking for this 1p panel.
So it seems they can't really ship it to me, so tomorrow i'm calling a forwarder in SF to see if they can help me.
I will keep you guys posted on this. Lets see how it goes.
Quality is a very subjective wordSentakuSelect wrote: ↑August 19th, 2018, 8:20 am How are the quality of these cabs found from alibaba? I'm working up a new place in Toronto and I've had Vewlix cabs fabricated as single player setups (24" BenQ RL screens). They were great but I really disliked how they were painted, the paint was very light which you could see the wood grain. The cost not including parts, console, monitor and speakers were about $800 CAD after the prototype was made.
Are these cabs made out of plastic with a metal frame? I was thinking that I should just grab some of these 32" 2P cabs for my next place and have my buddy help with the electronic and wiring mods for PS4 setups. Instead of 8 single slim cabs with HDMI splitters, probably save me a lot of trouble finding a new carpenter to make new 2P cabs for me.
Like Kavas, I could never get mine to work. I think I'm missing parts since when I press the coin return, it never does anything.
This is me!! LOL
Let me know if you need help with that. I have noticed that the coin rejection mechanism and the push button are really bad designed, I wonder how are those in the vewlix. I would like to see them in your cabs, cause in mine, although it works, definitely looks like it is missing something, it is terribly wobly.mRCaESaR wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2018, 8:18 am

I also can't for the life of me get a coin to go into the coin catcher. I've got the same type of coin in the replace coin section, but when I put a coin in, it never goes down to register the coin.. weird. I gave up. One day I would like to have it working lol.
Hahahaha you seem pretty busy. I don't get in so complicated stuff, just cleaning and restoring are enough work for me. And need something to work on my swing for 4 players. Still haven't figured it out how.mRCaESaR wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2018, 8:18 am

I've spent more time tinkering, modifying, crimping, soldering, wiring etc on projects than actually playing!
My 360 to Jamma project... https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=37331
Then my Scart to Jamma Namco PS2 gun project.. https://forum.arcadeotaku.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=37912
At some point, I will come back to this and get a nesicaxlive setup..
This is the same for me. It wasn't wired so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it always goes out the return slot. I am going to make the cable myself, but I have no idea how to connect it to my PC or brook? There are 6 wires that come out from it. There is the power and ground wire (DC 12V 60mA) which I guess I need to cobble together a power adapter too, then there is the N.C.(normally closed) and N.O. (normally open) wires which I am not sure what they do, but I have heard the better option is N.O. ? Where do I connect these too? Then there is the Coin counter and coin accept wire. Coin counter probably sends pulses to add to some counter somewhere to keep count of how many tokens have been taken since install. The coin accept wire I think is what you see on your screen when you insert a coin and it goes from 0 to 1. Both of these wires I have no idea how to rig up to my system. Since it is not a arcade board and I am not using any sort of JAMMA wiring solution, I would assume I would need to dedicate a button on my brook to "coin" and then somehow wire the coin accept to that. I just don't want to start feeding wires into my Brook or PC without undestanding how it works first. Maybe some pictures of Zumbitos setup?mRCaESaR wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2018, 8:18 am

That's all of us! There's fun in that too!
I could technically do some kinda pad hack exclusively for the home button so I could turn it on from my control panel, but thats a waste of a controller, and also another wire in the cab to keep the board charged, not to mention if I add any other consoles I would have to do more pad hacks. Sure you could just do it remotely from a controller on the outside, but that means I always have to keep it handy like a remote.zumbito wrote: ↑August 22nd, 2018, 8:28 am Kavas, regarding the turning on problem, why don't you just use a normal DualShock to turn the console on? Still you will have to open for changing games, maybe having the console outside the cab is not a bad idea. At some point I was thinking of putting everything inside, but didn't know how to connect one brooks board to various systems (PC, PS4, PS3, and Xbox 360) at the same time. Do you have a way to solve this?
