Travelling back in time...

  • A "brand new" mint condition Vectrex console

Synopsis

  • Here is something I would like to share with all those, who want to join me in feeling a bit like I felt on the morning of my birthday back in 1983, when I got my first Vectrex.
  • In September 2019, I bought another Vectrex console from a family who were cleaning out the attic of one of their houses. There, they had discovered a boxed Vectrex console, and they had no idea of how it got there or who had owned it previously.
  • It seems that I had some incredible luck with that purchase.
  • The Vectrex was still factory-sealed and had never been opened or switched on so far.
