Pardon the french but... Holy Fuck, that thing is SWEET!
I was expecting one of those little bar/mini-arcade things that have been mentioned a lot, but THAT is one sweet looking setup.
Oh, you wanted info? no idea

I bought it for 100 euro, that is like a 100 $ US...what do you think? Expensive? I thought it was a good price forit since I never saw this kind of set.
Very nice stuff man, i think it´s very rare, i never saw it
That thing is sweet. Looks perfect for standup arcade like feel. I would of paid 100.00 for it easy
Good Find. I think you beat me for the find of the week

i passed this topic along to the experts, the vectrex newsgroup- rec.games.vectrex. if anyone can ID that thing it would be someone there, perhaps some of the euro collectors who frequent that group.
nice find by the way!
ps. if you cant find the newsgroup on your server let me know and i'll cut and paste the responses to here.

I don't even have a Vectrex, but the retro-appeal of that set-up is just plain kick-ass!
Great find!
Great to deal with: Leonk, AdamG, Cheesystick, DigitalPress, ButtaSuperb, Hydr0x, Darth Vader, Gary Gnu, Portnoyd, NexWave, Postermen, Kaine23, ARCZero, kai123, Buyatari, Minilek, DREW, bighab, AlanD, Flack
Yeah, I'd be lying if I said seeing that thing didn't send a little quiver of delight through me. I've love to stumble upon one of those in the US.

Again, thanks for the help.
Hi Steffan,
Cool find!! These are the Vectrex stands they had at Intertoys (a Dutch chain of toy stores) back in the day. I know where another one is located, somewhere in Amsterdam
Cheers,
Marco

i wanna see
Wow, I don't even collect Vectrex stuff...but if I saw that I'd probably have bought it. I mean, holy hell...that's the next best thing to having a Vectrex arcade machine (as if) in your house. In fact...BETTER, since this is compact (unless you think you're gonna manage to get some quarters from your friends playing a vectrex...whoa boy, got off topic there).
Anyways, for what it's worth I've never seen anything like this. (Edit: Reading is my friend, ehe)
Anyways, that is certainly the coolest piece of gaming I've seen all day, probably all week :o
Well, the link is back on. Enjoy.Originally Posted by Lifebringeroftorv
