OK, well.....Ully was first to respond, but others were pretty quick as well.....and it's not a race....

Now this is not something I'm selling, I only got a tip from a friend. The machine is located in the Paris region.
It's not working though but the price is NICE (IMHO).

Now, I know Ully can't have internet access in day time so it would be screwed if I would post it now. But I promise to post you guys the info tonight between 19.00-20-00 hrs. OK ? All in one go. You guys fight it out..... ;)

Don't shoot the messenger...

Good luck to the other guys, hope you will get a nice deal.

thx a lot for waiting, andré, very thoughful :-*! but don't you think this IS going to be a race once the info is out? and with my "non-existing" french it might be difficult for me to get in touch with the seller, but let's see! a gorf would look kickass next to my wizard of wor. any idea what's wrong with the game?

OK, well since it's "out" now anyway (and Ully does seem to have internet access), I all PMed/mailed the guys interested. It's nothing more than a link though....I don't know the seller or whatever.....

GOOD LUCK, MAY THE SCHWARTZ GORF BE WITH YOU !!!

I can't believe that asking price........Only 120 Euro's !!!
Title: Re: Anyone looking for a Gorf ?
Post by: Superully on February 03, 2011, 04:44:38 PM
thx, i've already sent the seller a message, let's see what happens! 120 euros is a STEAL, i'd happily travel the distance for GORF!!!

Thanks Andre for the info.

thx a lot for your support guys and to atarimania for taking one step back - i appreciate it. love your avatar by the way :D

let's see if he responds, this ad has been "on" for two days, normally someone else must have grabbed it by now!

looks like i'll be going on another huuuge roadtrip in march (= school holidays) :). turns out that the seller has a second gorf in pretty bad condition :arrow:

(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5058/5417018586_355a4c7971_d.jpg)

as you can see, this does not have the original joystick, both monitor and bezel are missing, but because gorf cabs come apart easily, i've decided to go for both cabs and use the second beat up cab either for spare parts OR restore it side by side with the first one (because i will already have the correct paint and setup then). i can then give / sell it to someone interested in it either for a full resto or for putting a gorf mame setup inside of it - because a full set of gorf boards is damn difficult to find!

thx to andré for bringing this gorf up, to colin for the seller's name and to the others for taking a step back :-*. i've watched a couple of gorf videos in the meantime and that game rocks. it is going to fit so nicely next to my wizard of wor (same speech style, some company). so cool, i'm really excited - and the price was too good to be missed!

And "shapewise" it fits nice next to your pleiads too if i remember correctly...
Title: Re: Anyone looking for a Gorf ?
Post by: liquidx on February 05, 2011, 10:07:11 AM
Good news.

Mine is missing a small bit of the inside art to the left and right of the Bezel. This hasn't been repro'ed as far as I know so if you're ripping one apart, a nice scan would be welcome.
I doubt it can be vectorized as it's more of an airbrush piece, but a nice full res bitmap could be a start.

Post by: gyruss on February 05, 2011, 01:19:36 PM
Ah, a second one! Please do not part it out. I'm sure there a quite a lot of people who will be very happy with it.

btw, is the gorf pcb the very big one? 7 boards or something?
Title: Re: Anyone looking for a Gorf ?
Post by: level42 on February 05, 2011, 01:51:18 PM
Yep....

Nice catch !!!

Post by: Superully on February 05, 2011, 07:36:59 PM
i forgot to say THANK YOU to jpc for vouching for me - thx man! :-*

as i've said: i'm not going to destroy the second cab, i'm going to restore it as well (this is going to be my first double resto). this cab has to be saved, although it's beat and missing a lot of parts!
