Hello everybody! I have a question for you regarding a WMS Gorgar mystery...
My friend has two of that pinball, and the red color (only the red) seems to be different from the backbox to the cabinet. The backbox seems to be more groomed but with a less bright red finish.
My first though was the red has been faded by the sun, but the Gorgars come from two different cities and cannot be a coincidence! Moreover, the white color is perfect, so the sun cannot be the culprit. Could be that the backboxes were painted in another factory???
He also tried to sand a little bit the red on the backbox, in order to find the "original" color, but without result.
Please have a look to the enclosed pics... Does anyone know why? Which is the correct one to be considered for the restoration???
Thanks in advance...
Ciao!
Loris

Ciao paisano,
I have a Mint Gorgar & with very little sun exposure, Yes the back box & cabinet Red's are noticeably different, This has bugged me since I've had it,

All we need now is to find someone that worked on the production line back in 79
