Hi all,

I have an unboxed Vectrex for sale. It powers on and the screen comes on but the inbuild game's vectors are all joined up (to be clear - where you should see the spaceship with just the vectors that make the spaceship, you also see vector lines going to the ship that would notmally be invisible I guess).

£30 + postage in the UK if someone wants it to tinker with (I imagine that posting outside the UK would be price prohibitive).

I can post photo's and more info on it later tonight / tomorrow

Cheers - John

They do that if the brightness is turned up too far - is the adjuster broken?

Re: Vectrex for sale (Needs Maintenance)

John, I'm interested- could you send some photos please? Assuming it's in not too bad condition and comes with associated gubbins (joystick, and psu if needed?) then I will take it, so please consider it sold pending photos :D

Hope that's within the rules!

Google it m8y, There's Emulator's available too.. :)

Interesting piece kit, doesn't use Raster scanning as most micros but vector scanning like aircraft displays..

It seems a very interesting bit of kit for its day (y)

Plenty of youtube videos of it in action.

Apologies all - I didn't realise my post had replies until I just checked there.

@chiark - I'll power it up and take some photo's over Saturday / Sunday if that's ok and I'll post them to the thread.

I've now checked the box that notify's me when a response is posted - lol

Sorry for the delay. Here are some pictures of the Vectrex and I've also captured some video which you can see here http://www.jmcdonline.com/30082009029.mp4. I guess VLC should play it fine (it's only 32mb).

Chiark, if you don't want it after seeing the photo's just let me know - it's not a problem.

Cheers

John

Re: Vectrex for sale (Needs Maintenance)

Sorry, sorry, sorry, I completely and utterly forgot about this. (I blame lack of notifications ;) )

I'm going to have to bow out gracefully with apologies to all.

Well, it's all yours r0jaws if you want it mate.

Received today and as described. It survived! I have to admit to having been a little worried about a CRT, and our delivery services, but bang up packaging sorted it out all lovely. Cheers chap. :D
Could a wandering Mod do the honours? Thank you. :thanks:
