Inside my Gorgar
« on: October 03, 2010, 08:52:01 PM »
MartyJ suggested I put some pics of what was in my gorgar machine for years. Of Particular interest is the red 45rpm record of gorgar from the factory along with all the original Williams envelopes and cards etc and also an offical invite to a Williams "New Works" function at the Grand Ballroom at the Reno Hilton in Nevada. I also have similar papers in my Flash which I purchased off the same collector in the US.

Hope you find it interesting

Jeff

I've seen some goodies in machines, but never a Gorgar LP and a ticket to a pinball show!

Thanks for sharing, long time since I've seen a square record, usually used for demo tracks. BTW have you replied to the invite?  %.% Just don't try any of the finger food, it could be a little dodgey by now
Still loving my Metallica Premium

That record MAY have been on the original flyer. From memory, the same record was included in the local "Leisure Line" Magazine - I still have that, but without the record.

That is an amazing find inside a machine produced 30 years ago. Thanks for sharing !

Jeff, have you got the mp3 of the record, I have a copy of it and it floats around on the web.  Interesting to us pinheads and Gorgar fans, but not likely to make the charts.

I do have the mp3 of the record but it is also available to hear on You Tube if anyone is interested.
