Picked up an alleged Gorf cocktail converted to Pac Man
I just picked up what the owner claims to have originally been a Gorf cocktail table that was converted a couple of years ago into a 52 game JAMMA unit with a Pac Man underlay (or actually it looks like the image is painted on the glass top). He claims the CPO's are from the original Gorf setup. I have searched for hours, and I have yet to see anyone selling, or even posting a picture of what the original Gorf CPO on a cocktail table looked like. It appears to have the 1 and 2 player ships from the Gorf upright CPO's I have seen, and I have read that the fire button for Gorf is on the left, as this one is.
Anyway, I was originally looking for a Ms. Pac Man table, but this one was had at what I thought was a pretty decent price for what it was, and I'm looking at buying the underlay and possibly new glass. The piece of information I'm lacking is whether the Gorf cocktail table is built differently from the Ms. Pac Man/Pac Man/Galaga cocktails. I see parts for those tables, such as joysticks, advertised as though everything is compatible, but I don't know whether the gorf table is the same as the others. If I buy a Ms. Pac Man CPO, will it fit on the control panel of the unit I have? I realize that I'd have to re-drill holes, or buy a new control panel base with the right hole pattern for the Ms. Pac Man CPO. Also, does anyone have any recomendations for incorporating a fire button into the standard Ms. Pac Man cocktail CPO?
I can post pics if it helps. Thanks in advance.
