Don’t know if there is different rom versions, it is the same cab style. If that is Andy from Bristol with the electrocoin builds he been a few times . If u see @Nintendo Arcade current video u see over drive. Odd game but funny, is it a widescreen crt or regular 19inch ?

here is the youtube video Alex did - you see the Overdrive coming up... if we got to do some artwork photos etc then let me know.

Thanks Dave , that is the same model as mine . I would be interested to see a photo of the control panel if you have time to take one . Also Interested in anything electrocoin related at Timewarp .
Cheers Ant

I think the shifter was probably chrome originally as started
To work back the rust on the shaft but could also have been black. Very hard to tell with the rust. I imagine the shifter plate to control panel would have been black. ?

Chrome same as ones used on Upright Continental Circus and probably had the same Low High sticker originally

Awesome ! Thanks my friend !

Managed to save the original stickers (believe Olly @ARcade art shop has made a repro ) ignore the blue just a process I use to get brittle stickers off in one and keep together .
I thought it probably would be chrome.

There’s been a lot of Over Drive this week. The side art is incredible on this cabinet. There is so little info about it , wondering if you have anything @_Matt_ ? Pleased to have the manual but not seen a flyer featuring it yet.

Just looking at the pics of Continental Circus from ebay, look at the edge of CP on the right, I remember they had ROTJ and Blasteroids cabs when I picked this up but forgot what else they had on ebay when I bid so looks like another was Goliath Salamander, can just see the white/blue curve round where it goes under the coin door
Where did you get yours from @_Matt_

I got mine off Ebay from a woman that had it as a mame cab for years but didn't have any other cabs.

If you added a pic of the one you're talking about it isn't showing up for me.

How did I miss this thread, some amazing collections from all.
I have so much nostalgia for the Golaiths and for the midis they seem to be everywhere in London. Love the fact you can swap the marques out and make it look like a dedicated machine for what ever Pcb you have in it at the time.
I’ve built up quite a collection of marques now for the Golaith and midi, here’s my collection.

Amazing collection of Marquees ! The sheer number of Marquees Electrocoin produced always blows my mind !
I think they are worthy of a publication one day.
Wow the row of midis look absolutely fantastic also

Hiding, I only seen it last night in 15 years after seeing pics of your cab, woman owned it o_O
These were in an old building they had bought for a business and just selling them as no interest in them, just wondered in case you bought from them also

That is brillant Matt ! Wow , spy hunter in one of those midi drivers would be wonderful. They are certainly very interesting cabinets and a joy to move around as so compact . I like the dog kennel style entrance over the pedal ! 😂
Really looking forward to getting to work on these next year ! Pulled all the metal off now and will treat in one batch. So much rust and corrosion on the front but the insides are clean, glass is complete , cpo have cleaned well and structurally sound so look very promising.

I have been very fortunate with the cabinets I have managed to buy and work on recently. Massive thanks to @Alpha1 for the midi drivers and Over Drive cabinets . Also equally @CoS72 for the pair of Xenon’s which he has done an incredible job with. He also helped with a mass Electrocoin move last weekend and is a top chap and incredibly knowledgeable too !

Never worked on a driving cabinet before today but spent the afternoon working and going through ‘Over Drive ‘ and Finally got to play it for the first time !!

Ah yes good spot. How long ago was that, was a long time ago wasn't it?

I screen shot the bids, was back in Sept 2010, shame I didn't save pics of all the stuff they had, just the time involved doing it all, saved a few things but you just wish you did more, should have screen shot all the machines I won from ebay at least, nice to know exactly what you paid
