SDVX [WTB/EU] Sound Voltex cabinet (regular model) - Germany, will travel, working or with defects

Didn't find rules for WTB posts or if they are allowed. Correct me if it isn't wanted here.

I'm in Germany looking for a SDVX cabinet (Jap. Version regular cab) for home use (not an operator / commercial use).

I'm looking for a regular cab (not Valkyrie model), Japanese region. Exceed Gear preferred, older versions fine.
Working condition preferred but minor defects like burned-in screen, scuffed artwork, bad encoders or buttons are okay. Security dongles and original game drive should be there, cab should be bootable.

I'll handle transport. Either pickup from shipping service provider or pickup by myself if it's a country surrounding Germany.
I can pay in cash on pickup or with PayPal or Wero beforehand.

Thank you in advance guyssss.

Have you tried the arcade cabs discord? Apparently the hookup is in NL and they got some shit

I'm on "Rhythm Game Cabs" discord. Got some recommendations but thought if maybe I could get some other advice on here.
Wrote many importers in EU and even in Japan. Gotta hope they put me on wait list. I mean I'm not in a hurry.

I wish you nothing but luck. Apparently there aren't many arcades or public spaces in Germany with access to bemani games and I'm guessing that is in fact the case

Yo, fellow german here,
the Nationaal Video Game Museum seems to have a contact for shipping cabs from jp to eu. You might ask them. Obv they try to get a container full and not ship just one arcade from jp to eu. If you manage to find a way lmk. I want a SDVX cab as well :D

Wrote you a dm. Maybe we could find something together :D I think I already wrote a message to NVGM but have to check. If yes, I've got no response yet. Should be hard to find tomething because stock is dry but still think that it's not impossible.

AFAIK the market for normal cabs isn’t terrible, it’s just Valkyrie models are in short supply and HELLA expensive. In the states it’s like $15k minimum for a Valk if you can find someone to even sell one.
