The Capcom Mini Cute is a popular cabinet, but due to scarcity and a high price tag various clones have come onto the market. The first was released by TRFightstick (no longer produced) which did not include a monitor or chassis. Clones then started appearing from various sellers on AliExpress/Alibaba etc that did include a CRT monitor and chassis. Most recently, Vortex arcade released a clone that also included an 18" CRT monitor and revised chassis.

Monitor Rotation
Rotating the monitor is considerably easier than some cabinets thanks to a smaller screen size / lighter weight, all in one monitor and chassis frame, and minimal connectors.
Connections will likely differ for the various versions of the clone. For the Vortex, the following procedure is applicable:
- Unplug cab from power socket
- Remove the back panel and unplug the 2pin fan connector
- Unplug the 9 pin connector (circled in photo) and remove the cable from any cable tidy clips
- The monitor and chassis are now no longer connected to the cabinet
- Unscrew the four bolts (circled in photo) that secure the monitor frame to the cabinet (note there are clear rubber washers that are difficult to see)
- Remove monitor from cabinet. Ideally remove the monitor completely and lay it down. This allows you to get a good grip in the rotated position when putting it back in
- Carefully place the monitor back inside the cab
- Fasten the four bolts and washers
- Gently remove the bezel and rotate (no screws/bolts, just flexing the plastic allows it to come free)
- Reconnect the 9 pin connector
- Double check all connections and make sure no cabling has been caught or other connections knocked
- Reconnect the fan (if required)
- Replace and screw in the back panel

*CPO should fit all models, but button/stick placement will be unlikely to match up correctly so it is advised to order an uncut overlay if available
