King Atari Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Not sure, but my guess is: NO. I don't think a lot of people remember the system, you should probably just find a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckhard Stolberg Posted March 10, 2002 Share Posted March 10, 2002 Finding this type of tube outside of a Vectrex is very unlikely. But are you sure that it is really the tube that's broken? Vectrex consoles are known to have some of the chips or capacitors fail over time. And these are much easier to replace than the tube. The guys over at rec.games.vectrex are pretty good at talking you though these fixes, if you give them a detailed description of the problem.

Atarinvader Posted March 23, 2002 Author Share Posted March 23, 2002 I'm not sure if it is definetly the tube. Thats all that I was told by the guy that had it. Getting hold of the tube shouldn't be a probably if its still being made or was quite commonly used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
