Looking for a dead Vectrex, the deader the better
I have a Vectrex with a case cracked bad enough that it's not fixable. The unit works great. I have two options. One convert to a desktop arcade it using a custom wood case or find a cheap dead Vectrex. I prefer the second option. Anyone have a dead Vectrex they'd be willing to sell at a reasonable price? Don't need controllers. Thanks, Corey corey cohen uǝɥoɔ ʎǝɹoɔ
I do *NOT* have a dead Vectrex, I have two alive and well Vectrex systems. including one I had an electronics engineer at Fox modify to reduce the ever present Vectrex Buzz, he also built me a light-pen out of a highlighter.

-- Normal Person: Hey, it seems that you know a lot. Geek: To be honest, it's due to all the surfing I do. Normal Person: So you go surfing? Normal Person: But I don't think that has anything to do with knowing a lot... Geek: I think that's wrong on a fundamental level. Normal Person: Huh? Huh? What?
Call Classic Game Junkie in Glenside PA. They usually have a pile of equipment in various states of repair, and last time I was in their basement, I saw many Vectrex units. Very good to deal with.
