Where did you track the old girl down?? Took me ages to find mine and shes a beauty-its owes me quiet a few $$$$$ but hey as you mentioned its a machine from our childhood so why not.
Can't wait for pictures or a video #@#

Grabbed it from Pinball Mania in Sydney G1. Big bucks for this one, more than it's worth cause bought from a commercial seller, but, first pin, if I buy more I will buy privately in the future. And to think I had the opportunity to buy a Gorgar for $300 bucks in 1995, and passed it up !!!. That's how it goes i guess.

Machine arrived. This ones in good nick. Will try to get time to put photos up over the weekend (I only have a camera phone though). I actually though the Gorgar character was a bit cheesy when i was young, but now i think the painting is excellent. I can sit and look at the art on this machine for hours, it just gets better and better, amazing looking machine!

Back glass 9 (small scratches here and there, almost all are un-noticable unless you're really looking. The slightess fade on Gorgars right shoulder, also un-noticable unless you're up close and really looking for it. Great.)

Playfield 9 (a few touch ups that have been done VERY well. One above the 20 bonus light (of course), another in front of the right sling, one more above the 'star' light near right flipper. Un-noticeable unless your'e looking hard though. One touchup i did not even pick up on first inspection. Two small cracks in the plastic near kick-out hole, which is to be expected in that area. All in all the Playfield is very, very good. Amazing how it's survived all the years of play.)

Cabinet 8.5 one side has been sratched down the middle (not too bad though), on the corner a bit of paint loss (not much) . The other side is in very good condition. You won't notice this stuff in the photos so i'm explaining now. Under the hood looks great, clean, every thing has been gone over by the looks of it, new flippers installed.

This machine took ages to get to me, but, the more i see/play it the more i'm liking it which is a good sign to me. ^^^
