Posting up for $500 each. My life situation has changed and its not getting any better - divorce sucks big time. I have pictures of the games at flickr:

They are not perfect by any means. but they are great players. Though, i believe Gorgar needs the 40pin replacement done as it has a hissy fit at times and pops the F2 sloblow fuse. But sometimes it just refuses to turn on and only have some GI on. Multiple flips of the switch later it comes on and stays on for parties, etc. So, it's definitely a contact. Game plays perfectly when normal. I have already done the big blue cap, the speaker with a pinball pro, and otherwise given lots of love and parts into this machine. I paid $750 for it and probably dumped $400 into after that. I have a new rubber set for it. One side has been exposed to sun on cabinet and is not faded but rippled...the other side is very nice. So, if you display it with the right side showing, the patina is great. So $500 is firm payable in 20-dollar bills, local pick up only.

Mata Hari is a reliable Bally. Always a crowd pleaser. $500 firm. I think any lower and I would sooner drop it from a building...KIDDING...it's the mood I am in right now. I bought the new plastic set for it and still have the originals. New bumper caps, red clear flipper buttons, new switches, typical wear in the top hole but again, I call it patina. A new rubber set waiting (though current one is great), drop targets are perfect (I forget if I bought new ones - heck, my postings on pinside will reveal more about the machine than I can remember - this goes for Gorgar too). I paid $700 from a local collector (great guy) and poured about $400 into it - nickel and diming...

So there you have it, my life in pinball trimming down to just Seawitch (my kids like that one the best if given the choice). If my life ever turns around, I figure I can buy a different pin and keep interest going. Oh, I would trade both for a WWF pin - my kids would die for that one. Otherwise, they are all about xbox and Nintendo Wii and DS (which I enjoy with them too).

Oh, and in case you were tempted, I am in no mood for tire kickers or otherwise. Come over, lay some 20s on me (25 of them for each) take the pin and leave. I'll have the pin on my driveway ready to be taken away. Simple. Unless of course you are 25-45 and female and nice. I will settle for nice. haha...

Thanks,
Michael

Super8man, keep us updated. It is a drive for me but I will be up in that area in a couple of weeks. So if you sell them good, if not then hopefully I can drop by...I mean...take the Pins and leave.

Hey jwwhite15, in the mood I am in, I can hold them for you. I don't mind. I am not in a huge hurry but the change up helps me reassess my situation and will help mentally unload some things. So, if that works, give me a date range and I can remain open to waiting till you get in my hood.

A pinsider is checking on Gorgar on Sat. So, it's spoken for until then.

Man, lots of Gorgar talk the past couple of years, and about a third of the boards I get in are to bring a Gorgar back from the dead.

One of these days I think I'll pick one up, just not yet.

Cool super8man, let me know how things go. Looks like I will be up there the first weekend in March. A little longer than a couple weeks but it is what it is. So just keep us updated and like I said if you sell them good but it not I will take what you have when I am there.

I brought a Gorgar back to life and delivered it a week ago. It was great to get it going and hear Gorgar speak.

Best of luck, super8man.
