You guys might want to look at this auction. It's a Vectrex starting out at a very low price of $15. The owner claims it has screen problems, but it's possible they could easily be fixed.

Eh, starting price is useless anyway. The only way to know what you may pay is to snipe things nowadays. This one could be good for parts, though, if it's not fixable.

I wonder if he tried to adjust the brightness knob on the back.
Bulbs??? :)

He said that even though there are screen problem you can still play it. How are you supposed to play it if there are no controllers as he said?

He's selling the joystick in another auction
I'm almost sure that's just the brightness knob.

I agree it had to be the brightness knob. I've heard too many stories about getting Vectrex cheap or free because it didn't work when in fact it was just the brightness control.
PS the seller ended the auction early. Someone must have blabbed to the seller about the brightness control.
