First Spear Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Apparently Vectrex homebrews were once delivered inside Intellivision carts. Edited December 5, 2015 by First Spear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Cool! Still wish I had a Vectrex. And getting that cart would be even better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Yep, only thing is a good chunk of the bottom of the Inty cart had to be trimmed in order to clear the edge connector, which is much taller on the Vectrex vs. the Inty. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACFinPGH Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Played a Vectrex for the first time at the Pittsburgh Gaming and Pinball Expo this year. I found the display mesmerizing...one of these days I'll get one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) Pretty cool, John D is the man! Too bad he's not active anymore. Anyways, thanks for the pics, Darrin. I never saw close-up pics of one. That is the true definition of "homebrew" if I ever saw it. :-) I wonder what the PCB looks like..

freewheel Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah, but early Vectrex homebrew was delivered in plastic clamshell cases, which collectors here would piss & moan about because it's "not as authentic as Mattel-style gatefold cardboard boxes".
