Got Gorf, Now what?
Lilwolf:
Mame it! It would be great! Just try to keep all the original parts to unmame it later if you feel.
If it's working though... I would just keep it and build another!
btw, does it have a monitor? I couldn't tell from the ebay auction (or do you find out when you pick it up)
Brax:
Tear everything out! Use a crowbar if necessary. Paint it black, jump up and down on the PCB, don't forget about giving the original marquee and control panel a good kick.
*sarcasm mode off*
*sigh*
RacerX:
I would SO restore that cab. It looks to be in great shape!
I would love to stumble onto a Gorf in my hometown for $25. I loved that game!
MrArcade:
Don't feel bad about maming it....just don't "harm" it. Do not drill the original control panel. Keep it. You can make a harnes to plug it's existing plug into an ipac setup for example. You can make a new control panel easily. And try not to drill any holes in the cabinet.
I can tell you from experience that Gorf and the other games that use that board cage can be very hard to get working...so any "untested" boards you buy will likely not work.
Make it fun to play....just don't ruin it!

Don't Mame -- Restore it and trade it for a MAME cabinet.
I'd trade you straight across right if you were in the Pacific Northwest.
