After spending the last several months talking to a guy who knew a woman that was selling some games, I got my Gorf. I was told it was in an arcade for some time then spent the remaining years until today, in a basement. The gentlemen who collected these games was a operator that would keep the games he liked after thier life on the street was over. He died recently and the family is selling off most of the games. I spent weeks waiting for the right time to get to see these games. And today I finally got in and made the purchase.

The Gorf does power on and play, but has some board issues. Also has extra button on joystick, don't know why.

The other games that are for sale are a:

Star Wars w/Amp Monitor - plays blind, missing HV board
Tempest - playsblind.
Battlezone - Plays blind, hear deflection chatter, missing the step.
All these cabs need a restoration. They have been in a unfinished basement for at least 20 years.

Right now theres no prices on the games. I made an offer and they took it.

Update:
Got the game fully working. One of the RAM boards has a bad chip on it. I installed another board I had, and the game plays fine now.

I can't find any burn on the monitor and its one of the cleanest 4600s I ever saw.

Cool, glad you got it working! From what I can tell, the control panel looks relatively nice... most are often heavily worn down.
