help identifying this cabinet

[chito]

not sure if this is the right place to post this.

I'm not from the states so I cant check for myself. I was hoping someone could shed some light on this cab. trying to find what i can about it to base a build on it maybe.

I first saw it in a recent vid of someone at a "round 1" arcade. It was being used for Street Fighter V but it turns out they are repurposed Magicians Dead cabinets and you can still see the artwork on the marquee at the top.

The control panel is shaped like a Vewlix and the in-game tutorial shows a Vewlix-style cabinet, but the cabs in your pics show a different shape and angle for the monitor/marquee area and the cab body.

The Vewlix monitor is tilted back, the marquee is straight up, and a topper on top.
Your pics show a much larger monitor with no tilt back, no marquee, and a topper on top.

The cab sides on a vewlix are straight vertical planes.
Your pics show the monitor is wider than the control panel and the base of the cab is narrower like a pedestal build.

I've never seen a vewlix like this. Cant really find a model or manufacturing details.

Definitely like the bigger screen and the instruction card area is perfect for a 2nd screen. Seems like a limited production run. Trying to source one would save me a build but looks like i might have to wing it.

True, but there's no denying that the cabinet shown in the in-game tutorial (0:22 in the video) is a Vewlix and the side profile of the control panel in your pics is the same as a Vewlix.





Here's a video confirming the game in a Vewlix cab . . .

Thanks heaps for your help and the info. Really useful.
even if i cant source an actual unit, i have enough to get started on my own build. Might try source and actual vewlix control panel and start there
