Started trying to match paint, got a mix of latex flat Valspar at Lowes, it's close but you can definitely see the difference.
On another note, I cannot figure out my PCB issues, does anyone out there know of anyone that can repair/diagnose a Gorf PCB?
Scratch that, just bought a known good, tested PCB set and chassis from eBay, should be here in a few days. Other work on the cabinet has slowed to a crawl with the 100 degree days we've had here it's JUST TOO DARNED HOT to work in the shop. Even at 9pm it's 91 outside!

New PCB set came in today - IT WORKED!!!! Game fired right up, didn't have speakers so I could not verify the sound but the monitor looked GREAT! Woooo! Now on to woodwork/restoration/paint.

Tested the original board set & chassis by swapping out one board at a time. Verified that the culprit in the original board set was the "CPU Board." I'm fairly sure that Gorf and Wizard of Wor used the same CPU board so if I can find another CPU board from Gorf or WOW then I'll stash that set away so I'll have two working board sets. In the meantime, it's still been dreadfully hot which means work on the cabinet has progressed at a crawl. I just stripped down the old coin door and it's ready for paint. I've received new t-molding and I've decided not to entirely re-paint. I'll just clean and touch up the cabinet since the artwork is in such good shape. Next steps will be to get a better paint match (oil-based) for the top of the cabinet, touch up and begin reassembly. The only thing I'm not really sure about at this point is the control panel. Since This Old Game is not doing any more Gorf panels at the moment I believe my only option now is to thoroughly clean and reassemble it and hope to find a cleaner one sometime in the future.
Spyridon:
Hopefully TOG will do another run of control panels. They really are spectacular.
Also, check out my Gorf restore and look at my old panel. If it is better than yours (probably not), you can have it.
