  5. Vectrex Carry Case Folding Instructions and Photos for GCE / MB Vectrex Logo cases See Folding Instructions and picture in my Google photos album https://photos.app.goo.gl/XYYGgxRZpmy3J5F6A Vectrex Carry Case Collapsing and Folding Instructions: Instructions below are used for the Vectrex Carry Cases shown with branding for General Consumer Electronics (GCE), Milton Bradley (MB), and unbranded Vectrex logo only carry cases.: There were two methods GCE and MB folded the Vectrex Carry Case at the factory. I think this might have been due to different production runs. Both methods are outlined below. The better method "A" is show first in the list. This is also the most common method used even if it was not used in the earliest Carry Case shipments. Please note the first method "A" assumes the carry case side have the creases and folding. If your carry case has the creases and folding in the front-rear then use the other method "B" that follows below method "A". Please note all Vectrex Carry cases have two user component parts to the Carry Case. Component Part 1: The large Carry Case itself. The main body of the Carry Case is made mostly of a fabric similar to Cordura. All carry cases in include a top flap with an attached Velcro strip to hold the closed. All carry cases in include carry handle straps on each side of the case that are sewn in place with rivets for strengthening the strap attachment points. Component Part 2: The Baseplate support. The Baseplate support is made of a carboard flat that is covered in either fabric, or plastic. The baseplate a square, or slightly rectangular, shape. The baseplate is inserted into the inside bottom at the bottom carry case. The baseplate is used to shape the carry case after unfolding. The baseplate also provides some cushioning and structure to the bottom of the carry case. A majority of the Baseplates are covered with a with sewn grey nylon fabric. Other simpler Baseplates were covered with silver colored plastic with heat sealed edges. Vectrex Carry Case Folding Method A (Case with creased sides): Assuming the case is already unfolded and in use, Remove the fabric/plastic baseplate from the interior bottom of the Vectrex Carry Case. Stand the carry case vertically with the bottom of the case up. Ensure the top flap is unfolded from the case. The sides of the Carry Case are creased vertically at the middle between the carry handle strap attachment points. Push sides slightly inward ensuring they are both folding inward at the crease. At the same time as folding inward, tuck the fabric bottom inward into the folds. Continue folding side and tucking in bottom until the carry case is fully collapsed. Tuck the carry handle straps into the side folds. After collapsing the carry case place the baseplate over the front logo. Fold the top cover over the front front of the carry case covering both the baseplate and logo. Vectrex Carry Case Folding Method B (Case with creased front and rear): Assuming the case is already unfolded and in use, Remove the Fabric/Plastic baseplate from the interior bottom of the Vectrex Carry Case. Stand the carry case vertically with the bottom of the case up. The front and back of the carry case are creased vertically at the middle with the crease running through the front Logo. Fold the top cover up to the bottom of the carry case to cover the rear of the carry case. Push front and rear of the case slightly inward ensuring they are both folding inward at the crease. At the same time as folding inward, tuck the fabric bottom inward into the folds. Also tuck the top cover into the carry case rear fold. Continue folding the case with tucking in bottom and ensuring the top cover is folding into the rear crease until the carry case is fully collapsed. After collapsing the carry case place the baseplate over the front logo. Fold the top cover over the front front of the carry cases covering both the baseplate and logo. For people shipping a Vectrex Carry Case some extra details. Fully collapse a folded back by placing inside of a plastic bag and using a vacuum source to draw out the excess air. After collapse you will be able to fit a bagged carry case inside one of the following boxes for shipment • USPS Priority Mail Regional Rate Box B2 SKU RRB-B2X, • USPS Priority Mail Box 1095 SKU O-1095X, • UPS Large UPS Express Box. (snug fit) Shipping weight should be 3 Lbs (2 Lbs 12 Oz) or about 1.3 Kg BTW, I DO NOT recommend shipping a Vectrex carry case only inside a polyethylene mailing envelope. Those envelopes have no support and can easily rip, offering little protection against crushing and stains. Instead place the folded carry case inside a pouch or Ziploc sliding channel storage bag before placing it inside the mailer. And if you decide to use a plastic envelopment mailer, then make it a large bubble cushioned mailer. These Vectrex carry cases also carry the Bandai Vectrex (バンダイ 光速船 / Kousokusen) but do not have the Japanese logo or language. The Bandai Vectrex only had an unpadded and unpocketed carry bag for the Japan region. Below is an album with pictures for that regional bag. https://photos.app.goo.gl/qQcRydzp1MfxLzI62

Vectrex Minestorm 2 Original Rare Cart GCE Replacement Mine Storm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vectrex-Minestorm-2-Original-Rare-Cart-GCE-Replacemen-t-Mine-Storm/386758091452 £1,340.00 (Approximately US $1,692.96 [ 30 bids ] (current auction bid) seller: theshubhillmob Item description from the seller Rare Vectrex Minestorm 2 Cart. (Mine Storm) This was originally from my dads collection & given to me, Due to unforseen circumstances I have decided to part with it with his blessing. I am back home at the weekend & can make a video of the game running on my Vectrex. I may also be listing the Vectrex console & multi cart over the weekend too. The cart is 100% genuine with its original housing & label, The Overlay is also an original from one of my old Vectrex. The box is just a nice repro as Minestorm was the Vectrex built in game. The buy it now is £1800 but I have no reserve so it will go for the highest bid. I will ship this very securely 24 hour Special delivery within the UK. I'm very happy to ship abroad but please be aware that eBay sets the Global Shipping cost. Please ask any questions, I may have to ask my dad for the answers but i'll respond. *Please note I am away 16-20 February will ship out on my return. Many Thanks for Looking. Below is some information from the Vectrex Wiki page. The original U. S. release contains the infamous level 13 bug, where the game would crash and end if a player is able to clear out this level Mine Storm 2 cartridge was made available for free upon request for Vectrex owners who wrote to GCE, which was bug-free, although it had many additional Mine Fields added and changes in the order of the Mines that appear (the Magnetic Mines make their debut during the second level, unlike the third on the second version of the game). This is one of the most rare and sought after Vectrex cartridges nowadays. . https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vectrex-Minestorm-2-Original-Rare-Cart-GCE-Replacemen-t-Mine-Storm/386758091452 . #vectrex #mine #storm #minestorm #II #minestorm2 #minestormII .
