They are 1 1/8

You probably have a transistor blown on the board. The switch was probably shorted, blew the transistor and cooked the coil.
Lubricated the drop targets? You might want to wipe that off. Clean is good, oil attracts all the carbon and stuff and makes liquid sandpaper.

Oh good. Sounds like you are set. How much was the new speaker?

I wouldn't turn the diode around. it goes like this. The banded end goes towards the red wires. You will have to test the transistor. Yes, the transistor will cause the fuse to blow when that coil is activated. If you haven't yet you should read vids system 3-7 guide. It will tell (and show) everything. Also be sure to fuse the bridge rectifiers in the back box.

Awesome. I have done it twice and close a third time.
It's kind of a letdown though. When it rolls over you don't get the 3 free games for top score.

Hey I got my new Mayfair back glass in and the light board adjusted. My "old" back glass is much better than yours. If you want my old one you can have it.

I meant I got the glass that Williams did several years back that Mayfair sells. It's perfect but about $350 if I remember right.

Jason
The old glass is much better than yours with just some damage around score windows. Maybe you could stop by and pick it up one day after work. I moved off mt hope church road heading towards Burlington. You can have it no charge.

Gorgar is a great early ss game. Not to shallow not to hard. $1000 is to steep with playfield wear though. Probably looking closer to $600~$750. Have you checked the boards for battery damage, 40 pin connector replaced, and other issues? Condition is everything.

I'm on the list. I wish a BUNCH more people would would sign up already and get this done.

Yes but most every playfield is shot unless you want to send yours out and it will probably cost as much as a CPR or more when you get it back.

What are you exactly wanting and I can help.

You can still get the plastic sets direct from Cpr. They are $16 cheaper on marco though. I have a set just waiting on the playfields. I also have the Mayfair backglass.

No that's normal.

I have been on the list a long time now. Every time I look it gets pushed farther down the list or another jumps in front. I won't give up yet though. I already got all my rebuild stuff and a new plastic set waiting.

Just do it. It will be awesome. (Not because it might get made faster )

I think white. Your machine stays cleaner looking with white also.

Yes I have a set but have not installed on Gorgar yet. I am waiting on the new CPR playfield.

But... I have put them on Black Knight and Firepower. I mounted them on plastic spacers to add depth. Used screws on Firepower and acorn nuts on Black Knight.

My pit magnet was doing the same and I changed the magnet capacitor under the playfield and adjusted the gap and everything I could think of and it seemed to help but not really. If the ball hit "regular" it would not trigger but if I held the ball on the switch for just a second or a slow hit from the pop it would.

My first post/ thread here was about the magnet.
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/gorgar-magnetflasher-issue#post-1210498

I had a rottendog mpu combo in it. Years later when I got another rottendog mpu for my firepower I had an issue with it and when I swapped the 2 mpu's the issue went away so it has to be a issue on my mpu. My magnet works REALLY good now and all I did was swap the board. If the ball even touches it hard soft or in between it works perfect. If either of you have a rottendog that's your problem. If I hadn't changed the mpu I would still be wondering what was wrong.

Can't hurt to try. I have several more in my parts box (minimum order). Pm a address and I will stick one in a envelope.

I didn't do anything to the switch in years and when all I did was swap boards it was instantly 1000% better. Here it is now.

Here's the bulletin.

Your metal guides may be worn. A cliffy enhanced guide can fix that.

Or you might be able to loosen up everything and adjust and tighten?

Been watching for a long time. Hell i'll take 2 if that hurries it up.

At least 1 1/2 to 2 years. It keeps moving down the list too.

Gorgar is a classic and a great game. If a 3 year old playfield listing for $1200 in the other thread gets people talking it seems a easy decision to go ahead and produce the playfield. CPR already has new plastics and with as many as were produced (14,000) and with most having worn out fields it will sell.
I think the reason it's not moving forward is people are starting to believe it will never happen and not signing up.

Look at the firepower run they did. People line up to pay big money for one. Gorgar would be the same way a couple years after the run is completed.
With CPR acting like they will do it makes any other playfield manufacturer NOT do it. If they are not going to step up I wish they would say so and then Mirco or someone else would.

300k? I think you have a typo there.
Gor and gar lites 10k, gor and gar a second time lites 15k, gor and gar a third time lites extra ball. When you earn the extra ball it clears and goes back to nothing.
You must start over and earn it all over again.

The only adjustment that pertains to the eject hold is #32. The "easiest" is the 01 setting.

Stupid question, are the bulbs good? Your 3 gor targets advance the green snake pit lights. Looks like you are just missing a bunch of star posts.

Peel the backing paper off. It's on all of them but it's harder to see on the ones that are not clear.

I did the same. One for now (?), one to maybe hurry things along. I can always sell the other in a few years.

I saw that but until it happens.

Hopefully the batteries haven't taken a crap on your board. Try rapidly flipping the power switch on/off/on and see if it boots. I think the coin door needs to be open. If it does replace the batteries on the main board. You should check vids guide on system 6. Don't forget to add fuses to the rectifiers. Gorgar is a great game.

Damn, nice playfield. I'll take it.

The Mayfair glasses were actually done by Williams so they are the same. So like a factory repro.

Nope. It's the same just looks different because of the new web site. I like the old site better.

I noticed the price says $750. Seems like it was cheaper before. Guess we've been on preorder so long the price increases. Maybe I'm wrong. Anybody remember?

The more I think about it I'm sure the price wasn't $750. It did go up since the list started.

Oh no. I thought this was good news. I already have a Mayfair backglass and the CPR plastics waiting. Still stuck on playfield.

Right behind me.

Sounds like about $500 without the new backglass and plastics. To bad the new playfields are not out yet.

Setting 34 should take care of it.

IMG_5053 (resized).PNG

Oh wait, do you mean to light the targets or light the star after you hit all 4 targets? If you mean to light the targets I've never seen that before.

That's not the way marco ring map is. It goes all the way around all 3 posts like the Williams manual shows.

IMG_5174 (resized).PNG

They should be red.

Sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing with you. Someone posted the same "soon" comment about a year ago. I've been on the list at least 4 years. They even had a price increase on the "preorder" page. With that said... I'm still in.

Don't mind me, sarcasm factor a little high today.

Masked? Here's my "2nd run" glass from the back. I have 1 bulb and its lit.

Dude, I’ve been waiting 5 years. They posted years ago they have the art just not enough “demand”.

They should at least put it on the “new process” list. I see a few firepower people have got their new process playfields.

Say what... it’s not April 1st yet.

Years ago CPR said they had the art. Now they say they don’t.

Serial number 397377 has amber D & E’s by the way.

Back up peoples. Get in line. Here on Wednesday (hopefully).

Good info.

After waiting a year or 2 CPR announced again in about April of 2016 they were getting close. I made sure I was on the list and hurried to get my plastic set and stencils. I even said I would take 2 playfields (not because I needed 2 but had been waiting so long just to help the numbers).

If they had just came out and said “oops, we don’t have the art” I wouldn’t have been drooling for 4 more years. They were very misleading is all I’m saying.

No not yet. Been sick last 2 days.

Did you get a tracking notice? I didn’t. Looks like I’ll have 14 days to work on it.

Adjustment 18. Set it to zero.

You might need this someday too.

I have a stack of these original Williams stickers somewhere in all my stuff but can’t seem to find them. Friend of mine just got a Gorgar and wanted one. I haven’t seen any of them in 20 years. Here’s the picture of mine.

Any leads?

One.

Here’s the one you need. Take apart the new switch and duplicate the stack order like the old one. I replaced every stand up in 4 Williams games. Works perfect.

https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/25460-6R

Be aware, sometimes it’s not the switch it’s the board. I had a board that wouldn’t grab the ball every time and after adjusting/cleaning the switch several times it would never get better. I swapped boards for testing on another game and it would grab the ball every time no matter how soft or hard the hit.
