Chinese knockoff cabinets

[Kyle]

I’m really happy with the steel frame and all the almost authentic plastic bits. My monitor will rotate for shooters and its a 5 min process, kraylix cabs arrant naturally built for that, but they are really really, and i mean really good for people who don’t want to pay the import fee’s and stuff.

Please post a direct link to what you purchased along with total cost after shipping. Have a bonus from work incoming,.

The same cab with a vertical screen is still “in-stock”. odd… anyways, I paid 1385.00 USD if i remember correctly, I’m unable to find the legit invoices in my email right now. Legit meaning, I asked them to devalue the shipping invoice so I would pay less in customs charges. Its a shady kinda thing to do, but I am not a rich guy, and decided to ask them to do it. They didnt blink, and said its a common thing for them to do.

I’ve got the manual for mine, it shows how to rotate the screen, and I’ve talked to a few others on the arcade otaku site who have ordered both legit taito cabs and clones, and all the bits from taito snap on just fine. I’m considering doing a “conversion” since mines blue, and its not the “diamond” one… kinda like the classic black/white.

I want to say after initial price, shipping, customs, inside the US freight, and storage, i spent almost 2200.00 USD. I avoided another 160 by picking it up myself.
The guys at the warehouse helped me un-crate it and my brother helped me lay it down in the back of his subaru forrester.

I recommend anyone who loves the arcade feel/experience but lives a million miles from one, either order a cab from china, put their eagle eyes on craisg list (sometimes the old naomi cabs show up there), or order a Kraylix. I’m 35 this year, and while that means i’m old as fudge, I’ll keep playing SF till my kids put me in a home… but it better have internet and i’m bringing my taito clone with me.

I wonder if i order 2, will the shipping be combined? Once i either get an Astro City or Blast City for my head to head, im going to try to get these modern arcade clones… One vert & one horiztonal…

Have you measured the input lag on the monitors on that vewlix clone? I have a non-Kraylix clone and the Viera X24 I have on it is good enough. Since an X1 is hard to get by these days anyway, I’m hoping the input lag on the screen that comes with those is playable. I’m considering of getting the real thing, and clones are probably the most affordable. I like my wooden cab, but longevity is an issue. I’ve had moisture problems with it since it’s made form MDF. Even though that’s not an original Taito cab, it will still outlast a wooden cab any day. Considering I’m from MD, my total cost would probably be the same as yours. I just can’t justify a ~$2500 purchase to my wife right now :D.
