Quoted from pincoder:

Unplug 3 or 4 and see if the other comes back. Then swap cables between 2+3 and see if it follows. If it does the master display board needs work. if not, you need new slave displays.

Quoted from tullster:

Here’s my Gorgar. Helped my operator friend buy it from the Tilt Arcade in the Westgate mall in Madison Wi back in the mid-80’s for maybe about $400. We routed him for maybe 10 years until I took ownership. He’s put in a lot of miles and still plays great.
I got bored with the play and decided to make him mean some time ago, and found it’s much more frustratingly fun to play. I thought the flipper gap was too close, so installed Lightning flippers. Moved the posts between the 1-4 targets forward a little and occasionally set it difficult (so you have to complete 1-4 in order to light the pit). For a tournament, a reverse flipper switch I call the Ragrog switch was installed.
The original boards worked well, but a Rottendog combo board was installed for reliability. Sunlight frosted leds everywhere except up top where there’s flame leds in the rollover and pit area. A few sunlight strips in dark areas.
Total keeper game that brings back great memories!

Quoted from dscapo:

Hey I was having the same hop issue. I drilled the posts out of the old ones and reused the posts with the Cliffy’s. It makes them adjustable enough to correct the problem.

Quoted from tullster:

Here’s a picture of my return lane guide and how far I had to move it to get rid of the hop. I did both sides when I installed new flipper bats and silicone flipper bands.
It was totally worth it and really makes a difference. You can’t see it unless you’re looking for it. I’ll hopefully touch it up one of these days.

Quoted from tullster:

I put toothpicks in the old holes and shifted the whole rail up. Tested before screwing it back down. It’s buttery smooth now.

Quoted from tomdrum:

Picked up a Gorgar that has been sitting in a storage unit for the last 20 years. An operator must of used it for parts as a bunch of stuff is missing. Logic would say to part it out since it's missing all the boards except the power supply, displays, apron, sling assemblies and other PF parts. I'm going to fix it, the PF is pretty nice with minimal missing ink and the BG is decent enough. The world needs more Gorgar's.
One issue that concerns me is someone cut the wires and removed the fuse holder under the power supply. A friend has a spare fuse holder but my concern is which wires go where since they are mostly the same colors. If anyone can help out which transformer wires go where and the yellow ones off the loom, I would appreciate it.
Already located most of the PF parts, still need an apron. A pinsider has all the boards I need fully upgraded and tested and I'll just install a set of LED displays.

Quoted from Firebird71:

I just joined the club this week as well. It has been gone through electronics wise although I think I will probably get some NMP drop target kits at the first sign of the horseshoes acting up.
Only had one issue so far which made me think I would be rebuilding drop targets the first week. Turned out to be crappy old drop target stickers had peeled off partially and were getting jammed each time a drop went down. Does anyone else feel this machine would have been more fitting with the drop target decals either being little demon pictures instead of the good guy? Or G,O,R and G,A,R stickers?
Cosmetically the only weak point is the of itself. Someone mylared it but didn't clean up the yellow flames very well and it kind of bothers me. If the wife ends up digging this one longer term maybe I will look into a repro pf.
Other upgrade I'm considering making myself is some plasma pop bumper caps since nobody else makes them anymore. Again I feel some red plasma caps would fit this machine especially with those top right plastics compared to white good guy caps.

Quoted from Viggin900:

I'm going to work on a 3D printed solution today that will be unnoticable and hopefully still work. I don't like the idea of drilling holes in a playfield.

Quoted from reconsider59:

Which? The standard playfield bulbs?
If so, you want #44/#47 "bayonet-style" bulbs. You can buy them from any pinball parts supplier. The original game used incandescent lights, but lots of people will replace them with LED bulbs for brightness, color options, etc. (think old-style filament bulbs, like you had in your house, vs. new LEDs that last longer).
If you go the LED route, I'd recommend warm white 1SMD bulbs from Comet Pinball. That's the "non-ghosting" version (sometimes LEDs will be kind of barely lit, "ghosting," when they're not supposed to be on). Non-ghosting bulbs are a bit pricier, but it's not a huge difference; for any controlled lamp (something that is sometimes on/sometimes off), you're best going with a non-ghosting bulb.
Some folks will have a purist view on using LEDs, and will insist that incandescents are the only way to go...or that you need the fancy Yopsicle LEDs instead. Personally, I think LEDs are absolutely the way to go, but everyone's perception is different.
Try some different looks to figure out what you like best. Comet actually sells a mix of their different types of bulbs, so you can try them out.
The only difference on Gorgar that I can think of is the flashing lamps up top by the A B C rollover lanes. Those are #89 bulbs. You can get LED version of them from Comet, too.
Hope a) that was what you were asking, and b) that the response helped!

Quoted from Major-Havoc:

They come with the cpr plastic set

Quoted from Moeman65:

No. When the playfield was drilled to mount the out lane and flipper assembly the outl lane sets just below the flipper and adding to that is the thickness of the band, at least that is the condition on my game.

Quoted from Da-Shaker:

I used warm whites made by Ghostbusters. You can buy them at Pinball Life. A lot of people use Comets too

Quoted from ReadyPO:

HEP is restoring a Gorgar, if you don't follow his thread here is the link:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/hep-this-week-9-17-18/page/255#post-7671422
He is also posting progress on youtube:
As my Gorgar is a real beater, very interested in seeing Chris turn this into better (way better) than factory.

Quoted from ParkRangerPinball:

Curious to see what Chris does with the playfield. Any guesses?
I've been debating between a micro, a hard top, or sending it to kruzman ( does he do insert replacement, too?)
What have you guys done to upgrade your PFs?

Quoted from SlapDrain:

Is anyone else getting 3000 bonus advance from the top “B” lane? The playfield says 1000 but mine is scoring 3000 per switch hit up there. I have a rotten dog mpu. Maybe there is a setting somewhere for this.

Quoted from PhillyArcade:

You guys do know there was a song "Gorgar" right? Here is my red as hell blood bath Gorgar video with the song Gorgar. $100 Craigslist grab a few years back. All LED's from Comet, Through led strip, lighted flipper and start buttons, and I found an NOS backglass for it I installed after I made this video. I'm going to install the NMP drop target upgrade next. Awesome game!
