Just bought this pin from FUN! in Dallas. According to them, it is the machine featured in this video. I gotta say, it is still a fantastic example, and you guys did great work! Their service tech is jealous, he thought his Gorgar was the best he’d ever seen until this one arrived in their shop. I love it!
Did it have our sticker on the apron? Or any of the circuit boards in the back? SOmetimes they get left on!
Gorgar was my first pinball and will always have a special place in my heart. Seeing that restoration almost brought tears to my eyes!
Excellent work, everyone!
James Twine Thanks James!
Gorgar is a classic of the older pins. Got to love that heart beat sound.
This game wowed alot of players on its release!
Playing this machine again would bring back great memory's! When i was younger i always remember playing Gorgar and Space Invaders and Silverball Mania!
More and more people are remembering this game it seems!
I won a tourney on one of these called RAGROG Gogar backwards. The flippers were wired to opposite flip. Could only hit flipper one at a time. A really sweet game I'd love to add to my collection one day.
neat concept!
Big Big Fan, Wow Boys Great Job on My Favorite Machine of all time . Really Loved this
Gorgar remains a classic!
Wow, what a beautiful machine.
Thanks!
What a beautiful machine fantastic job! Gorgar is one of the all time great machines
Another one I would love to see you restore is Space Invaders
Richard Bain Thanks...and here is Space Invaders! Bally SPACE INVADERS Pinball Machine with EXTRA LIGHTING added! TNT Amusements
Sweet Gorgar, but I SOOOOOO want that Whitewater!!!!!!!!! *drool* Great job Todd.
Paul M Someone will buy it very soon!!
Gorgar is such a fun table
I am always trying to get these...people still want nice examples of it!
i still love that backglass just beautiful
Yes...the brand new ones are gorgeous!
Saturday nights when you're in 7th grade in 1979: roller skating or bowling, playing Gorgar, slurpees.
ahhhh...it does take you back!
I like the upgrades and I think I may go the LED display route on mine as well. My master display board is corrupt and gradually I lost my ball/match display. I figured I could just get another board but why not upgrade and just keep the originals in a safe place to keep as original parts.
I skipped a lot of high school when Gorgar hit the streets and he just never got out from under my skin, I have owned mine for about twenty years now. I don't think I could ever get used to my beast looking that way though with all the extra colours added, but that's just me, bit of a Gorgar purist I guess.
I had to park him about a decade ago because he started doing some strange things and I figured I would just let him rest until I got to a part of my life where I could actually deal with his issues and get that heart beating properly again.
I'm just starting to blow off the dust and see if I can even remember what was going on, something to do with the sounds not matching what the play field was doing, heartbeat not resetting on next ball or player. I can't remember now, I just went into panic mode, pulled the batteries, unplugged it for fear of any further possible damage.
BUT, I can't for the life of me remember how the three AAA batteries were placed. Oddly enough the board has no markings for - or + and the manual doesn't seem to cover this either. Normally you would place the flat - towards a spring but there are (as you know) just flat blades (for lack of a better term). I don't want to risk further injuring him by putting them in wrong.
I've cruised around looking for pictures of that board but seem to only find low res that once you zoom in you can't tell what is what but I almost get the impression they all face the same way.
Any help would be appreciated.
+Goregoon The minus side always goes to the edge of the board where the GROUND goes...so whichever terminal connects to most of the large pieces of foil ont he game, thats minus. The PLUS side ALWAYS goes to one side of a diode.
+TNT Amusements Inc Good to know, thanks for the info. Ya pics I've seen show different combos between -+- to +++ and others with one convert going from corner to corner.
Would love to know what / how the "Magic" was on the back glass. A video tut or link? Tanx
The back glass lit by the LEDs looks like the LEDs are too directional, causing uneven illumination. I would think some sort of small diffusers would be in order. Then again, maybe my monitor just sucks.
Didn't Jungle Lord have the same magnet? How is it activated for Gorgar? Does it use an optic sensor, like Tales of the Arabian Nights?
badreality2 Yes...same one...when the ball hits a round switch above the magnet that turns it on and ball gets grabbed as its dropping back!
Totally Hilarious
Cary Hawes Glad you liked it!!
I love Both Gorgar and the movie Legend Tim Curry Is Awesome. Still think that backglass design is the best ever
dvddmc Thanks to Jonathan and Scott...because I didn't know what to green screen with this game! Jonathan remembered the movie and Scott thought up the "dirty Chair" line!

German metal band Helloween performing their song "Gorgar" live, maybe. It was about singer Michael Kiske's habit of throwing all his change down the Gorgar they had in their local pub at the time.
"You spend ALL your money, but you'll never win. You'll always be the loser, and his metal voice keeps hammering...
GORGAR WILL EAT YOU. GORGAR!!! but you keep on playing..."
I actually played Gorgar in arcades.
Yes...its in retro arcades now!

More beautiful than the last one. I wonder how the person that got the last one feels when they see this?
uzi1951 He already called, SCREAMING at me!
How much is that worth???
Love the videos!!!! I bought a Gorgar a few years back. Loved this when I was a kid, pumped a lot of quarters into the one at the local bowling alley. I do have a question, sometimes when I turn on the machine the sound works, sometimes not. Any suggestions? Would love to get the machine gone through and LED upgraded.
+Still Chasing Charlie Dried out capacitors and cold solder header pins!
Todd fantastic job on the gorgar, looks nib. Are you doing a green screen for that killer instinct? That would make my day :)
have to think of a gag for that game....
You and frank have your heads on the two fighters and then frank does a fatality on you or a humiliation :)
I just picked up a Gorgar from guy that did the wrong wire harness hook up mentioned at 5:10. Which boards took the hit on that screw-up. Are those boards easily repairable?. I know it would be faster to buy replacement boards, but i would not mind the challenge of doing some board work.
mylobesarethrobbing Only the driver board is blown...lower left board in the game.
TNT Amusements Inc Any general idea on the parts on the driver board that need to be replace?
mylobesarethrobbing no.....it could have taken so many things out...impossible to guess
I want this. My childhood to.Classic ten times over....Robotrron I got 6 million points,want that game also.Joust,.Peace#25
Do you ever get the pinball machine Fish Tales Todd that was a fun game!
Yes...we have had quite a few come through TNT!
I have an identical Gorgar, all LED and Rottendog. Just like that one, the player lights and bottom BG lights won't function with LED's, I noticed yours still has lightbulbs in it. I'm curious why the LED's won't work in them, any ideas?
pinballshawn We put LED's under our playfield...the GOR GAR is purple and also under the white inserts...so not sure. We use Pinball Life LED's...just placed another $1200 order as a matter of fact!
TNT Amusements Inc I got you, I use Pinball life as well. I'm talking behind the backglass, player 1, player 2, etc. and on the very bottom Game Over, Match, etc. The flashing ones are light bulbs. I can't remember what the problem was, I did mine a long time ago.
Was Gorgar 1978 or 1979
1979
Is there a kit out there to replicate the color scheme you chose? I just picked up Gorgar yesterday and plan to do the LED upgrade in a few months.
We really do a different layout every time we do these machines! We have no set plan!
Ok. Thanks for the response :)
Any chance that's the one I sold to you from Chesapeake Beach, MD. ?
we sold over 30 of these I think...this was several years ago...I would have no idea
What’s the story here? Why is there a hand like GORGARs on the backboard? And the helmet in the middle of the bumpers has a GORGAR skull in it. So are there more GORGAR demons? Is he the leader? Who’s the snake wizard? Who’s the green eyed skeleton in the throne?
Does anyone out there have those answers? I sure don't!
Gorgar will eat you!
(GORGAR!)
Man you'll never win!
Gorgar will eat you!
(GORGAR!)
But you keep on playin'!
Yes...this game has MANY fans!
"Gorgar beat you"

ronald black New backglass is just $300 more!
