Do you want the guy to pay you or what?
If all the pieces are there and you need to buy a brand new MPU (unless you feel and have the time to try and fix it), still looks like a pretty good deal to me.

And that's pretty good negociating skills you got there, my friend! (>>1000$ down to 400$! I should have called you when I bought my house!)

As long as the transformer is not shot at the same time the CPU is shot, I think you paid a fair price for a popular, broken machine.

Remember to check all the fuses for correct value, BEFORE turning it on and cooking something.

That's a deal. The PF is in reasonable shape- the mylar is peeling around the slings is all, an easy removal, some insert tough up and you're good to go- well, except for all of that possible corrosion. You're going to want to get in there and replace the 40-pin connector and the scanbe sockets as well.

400, and i would do it for that.

400-500 sounds about right to me. I can't stand the game but it usually sells for around $500 in these parts.

Agree. Don't think this is below market value at all for a dead project System 6 game. Possibly even over depending on what all you have to fix. Maybe you'll get lucky and only have to replace the batteries, MPU and sound board sockets, driver interconnect, lamp matrix resistors, and power supply caps. Or maybe the batteries took a huge dump and both MPU and driver need major work or replacement, several coils are burnt from the MPU locking up, sound board needs troubleshooting, and power supply still needs rework. I have encountered both extremes. My typical offer for dead unknown status System 3-7 is $300.

But, backglass looks decent and the playfield only has a little wear. As long as you like working on stuff and don't mind not having a museum quality game, it sounds like a reasonable project to me.

I sold my working game in good shape for 600 2 months ago I say go for it

Nice pick up, Gorgar has some great art work, enjoy.

In that condition working would be between $700-$800. Even if it's a bad CPU and driver, you can get a rottendog combo for less than $300.

Yeah, um I don't think so. Anyone who wants to buy an 800 Gorgar that looks like the one in this thread, then I have 3 of them for sale.

Backglass looks OK done good IMO.

the only thing worse than a buyer that dont know if he wants to buy or not- is a seller that dont know if he wants to sell-

What's the worse that can happen? You paid 400 and it's actually worth 300? If you like the machine, pull the trigger!
If it were around here I'd go for it (although I'm not sure where I'd put it in the very slowly moving queue to get work done in my collection...)

Oh I hear ya... and looking at your collection, that Gorgar will be the poor kid next to the other machines.
My plan for the next machine (since I'm all out of space both at work and at home) is to lend a machine to one of my friends to make space...

end of the day, your happy with the new project, saving a classic pin from the scrap heap, thats all that matters, best of luck Champ,
i,m getting one sent over from the US now, suppost to be Excellent condition, Cant Friggin wait,
Gorgar will be the new security for the games room.

If you want to fix it up and sell it to make money for other pins...fine. If not, pass and use the $400 for Pin*Bot stuff....

I figured being on the pinball arcade would drive the price up at least a little bit? (just like firepower has). If gorgar is really that cheap, I should pick one up.
