Was up in West Linn Or. picking up a Smash tv arcade for my son on sat. Started talking to the guy that i really was not to interseted in newer games, and told him i just got done working on a Gorf and looking to get the board's fixed. He says to me that down in the barn that he has a Gorf and a Missle Comand, that some one gave him 12 years ago and that if we unburried them we could have them. So we got them home and they would not fire up so started switching boards and got to the 3rd board and damm if it did not fire up the game i just got doing a clean up and re-paint on. Free is a very good price.

Cool story. Glad that the boardset worked! Any plans for the cocktail cabinet? There is a local who is really itching for a Ms. Pac cocktail IIRC.

I picked up a game in West Linn today too. Missile Command (not in a barn). Not working, haven't looked too far into it yet.
 
Well as far as the Missile Command i have not had a chance to get to that one.I had left home at 530am sat. and after 12 games and 14 hour's driving a semi the first thing my brother and i unloaded was the Gorf. I think that was the best part of the whole trip.HAHAHHA.. Just had to see if we could get it to work, or at least get it to work in my other one. And the Gorf cabnit really is not to bad was thinking of cleaning it and seeing what it would take to get back in shape.I will let you know if i think it's to much to take on.

That's awesome. You can't beat free... (well, I guess if they PAID you to take it, that would be better than free). Is the Missle command a cocktail as well?
