I prefer the design and imagination of the Electrocoin version that’s for sure !
Similarly when you look at the difference between Beast Busters (EC ) and the US version .
Picked up a spare pcb of Overdrive recently which was lucky as one has developed some graphical glitches.
Will look at second overdrive cabinet this year - needs much more work although complete. Might scan and make a repro of control panel also.

gotta say some of the USA cabs and artwork are quite naff, Atari cabs are fine, cool artwork and decent build
They tend to cheap out on Steering mechs on Taito stuff, Simpson's cab looks much better than UK one, though if I had one the Deluxe would be my choice lol

I think the US version of Overdrive is pretty cool but the style and artistry of the Electrocoin version for me is a winner. Photos from Arcade museum

Is the Deluxe version of the Simpsons seated with the TV aerial ?

Yeah Big TV set back with Aerials and big long control panel with 4 fixed stools for each player, would have bought one if I had space just because its fun

I think I like the photograph as much as the Cabinet !
I remember one on ebay years ago.. see one was traded to Arcade club a while ago. Was it produced by Deith or Brent Leisure ?

I found it hard to believe the original was stainless steel !!
Thought maybe it was charcoal 😂

Ah that looks much better 
would cost loads to have it re chromed and new decal so its nice to find a replacement, specially these days when parts are harder to find, old one could be sandblasted and painted to use on a mame cab though at worst case as shifter looks ok out of the frame maybe?
The original is pretty toasted, reminds me of one on the Circus I had, was from the barn cab raid

Love a board holder !

The above board holder was from a parted Goliath I picked up for spares. I think it was a Mark 3 version?
I have not seen the board holder which is in the continental midi before . I also think that the control panel on the midi is different from any version made for the goliath. Originally I thought that perhaps the midi had used parts from other cabinets of the time ie Goliah , midi but the return lip is a right angle and much lower because of the coin entry slot so my conclusion is it was unique to the cabinet.

So many similarities with the Overdrive design except pedal area !
How did it clean up ?
It's amazing what we do miss sometimes or forget about.
The driving cab on ebay is pretty much a match for WEC Le Mans just one pedal less but same sloping control panel

It's back with another seller

Big thanks to Rob @rob-udc he has helped me with the ‘Overdrive’ shifter and also the steering badge for my Super Monoco GP. Always amazes me there are nos parts still out there! Not sure if the badge was used on other sega drivers of that time?
Will do a full write up about Super Monoco GP one day ..
Just need an accelerator pedal 😂 and to look at Japanese monitor ….
