I'm sure they're fine, as rumor has it Chewlixes were just as good as the real thing.

There's no way a Viewlix weighs 250 lbs. I was playing on one not too long ago and it wobbled around just from normal usage. It definitely weighed less than my Blast City. It's basically just a frame, CP and flat panel monitor. I've also seen inside one and it's pretty straight forward.
Guessing you're referring to mine, which rests on wheels (like all Taito cabs) and the leg leveler nuts are broken (like most Vewlixes) so there's nothing to keep it from rolling around.

Still light. I'd guess 160-180lbs. Probably 2/3 the weight of a pinball at most.

But they're quality cabs - I'd take one over a NovaBlast

Chewlix cabs are thinner metal, different monitors, but pretty close.

Vewlixes are cheap enough that a Chewlix doesn't make sense these days imo. Chewlix is ok for putting a PC or console in, but not real arcade hardware

(it was a joke referencing previous forum drama)

I’d say look up the Time Rift arcade assembly and review video. Seems to be a decent product but with little to no customer support if you have an issue. No instructions is a head scratcher.
I'd come across that vid while wasting time on yt. And that's what got me to want more info as it was kinda short and just skimmed over things. Hence asking here if anyone had any real hands on experience yet.

If long rona didn't turn me into a damn cripple this thing wouldn't even be a thought and I'd still only be thinking about "real" cabs. But "real" cabs are too heavy for me now not to mention I no longer have the energy to put the effort into maintaining a CRT. Hence why this lightweight 2 piece cab w/a new display might be on my list. If they figure out how to fix the packaging to reduce the shipping damage that is. Seems the biggest actual negatives are lack of documentation (minor issue imo) & shipping induced damage which is the bigger problem.

Man, I kind of like these Nova Blasts. Not a fan of the decals and also would prefer a oled screen over the current lcd option but from YouTube videos it seems the lcd screen looks nice. Maybe they give you a option to upgrade the screen in the future. Also lag would be a concern for me.

I'm not in the market for a arcade cabinet but this would be the way I would go. Smack a Mister inside and call it a day.

Neocerva put a analogue pocket in his in one of the videos
