    Im not sure if the german cabinet is taller or not, but for the rest its the same cabinet yes.

    Thank you about your compliment about the redraws.

    Thanks for the letting me know :)  I do various scaling adjustment to the models as part of process to get them converted to Arcade Sim, so when I get to some of your Dutch layouts in this cabinet base model (may be quite a while yet, but all planned), hopefully will be approximately correct dimensions :)

    Any arcade cab is a good arcade cab!  But the Goliath was a bit special :)  I remember being a little entranced by the trippy side art pattern as a kid - heck I was like 7-8 when I started frequenting the arcades, it was all just complete magic to me going down there! :D 

    If only room and £ wasn't an issue, then it'd be about getting a stand up Outrun, and wiring your steering wheel and pedals into that... ;)

    My cabinet is a Centi one. It's kind of smaller than the Goliath and I really wanted the Goliath one but the person I got it off didn't want to get rid of it, so I got this one instead. When I first got it, it had a black joystick that was different to the red one so I managed to get a red one from someone on YouTube and luckily he managed to have some, so I bought the odd one or two off him. :)

    I don't like the side art or the front art underneath either of the Centi but luckily mine doesn't have either.

    I designed the Marquee at the top but I'm looking at using a second monitor for a changing Marquee for whatever the game is being played.

    The Goliath was a popular cab around Cleethorpes arcades where I grew up.  It was weird, Konami I think didn't have a way to distribute (or manufacturer?) cabs to the UK at the time Salamander launched (1986) so it was a weird affair where the Goliath was the official Salamander cabinet:

    Thanks for posting the flyers, have saved for the handy measurements :)  Marquee should look sweet if it's a decent fit!
