No kidding... I'm looking for one, too! Mine is for the card set from
the Gorf arcade machine. I have one complete Gorf machine (except for
the 19" Electrohome monitor - it died whilst on loan at a friend's
house) and one spare card set, minus the SC-01.
I got the card cages (6 cards, RAM, ROM, I/O, etc.) from a local surplus
house that's now in a trendy part of town - when I was a kid, the entire
area was run down and full of scrappers and strip clubs. :-)
The boards worked fine, but they had no home. I rigged up a wiring
harness from a variety of scrap - PC 5150 63W PSU, an Atari 2600
joystick and a DEC VR-240(?) color monitor (sync on green required)...
it took over the whole table, but it was playable.
About 12 years later, I picked up a Gorf box at an arcade auction (it
had Galaga boards in it - two of us split it up - I got the case/monitor,
the other guy got the Galaga boards). It had been painted over and the
controller replaced with a generic one, but the glass and marquee were
intact. Less than a year later, I bought an unconverted, broken Gorf
from an arcade operator - no glass (shattered), but unpainted and with
the original controller.
Three different sources, but I did manage to restore a complete Gorf
upright.
If anyone out there has another one SC-01 for sale (I'll wait my turn),
please let me know.
Thanks,
