Well...after about 4 months I'm finally ready to slide Gorf into the arcade for some serious arcade playing! I thought some of you Gorf fans out there would like to see some photos of this game which came to me under some pretty unusual circumstances. I'm sure I'll never own a 'NOS game out of the original box' but coming close sure is pretty cool. You can read the story about this game here (written when I detailed out the Pac-Man):

For a game that sat so long obviously there are many problems that come along with it. I had to replace the film cap on the chassis to get the 4600 monitor to stop blinking, there were 3 bad RAM chips on one of the RAM boards, 2 bad chips on the pattern board causing some serious graphical issues, a blown cap on the amp board knocking out the sound/speech, a TON of cracked solder joints, on and on. Once the game was functional I began the slow process of disassembling the game and cleaning it all up. Here are some pictures of the final results - Long Live Gorf!!!
