    Still on the lookout for a Vectrex !

    POST\COLLECTION: Collect - don't think I'd trust shipping
    PRICE: Depends, but 200ish or more maybe
    PAYMENT METHODS: Cash

    Thanks ! I got one on eBay for £220 collected in London. Dean Swain from Retro Asylum collected it for me and I'm getting it off him in March when I'm over at revival.

    My big issue now is how to get it on the plane as carry on.

    The vectrex dimensions are 24.75cm x 29.2cm x 36.8 cm and the luggage allowed is 55cm x 40cm x 20cm so the I'm about 2 inches over on the 20cm.....

    I might be able to get it into a rucksack.....

    Be oh so careful with it.
    It's a delicate piece of hardware!
    Congratulations on your purchase.
    I might suggest you link up with Richard Hutchinson to buy one of his VecMulti carts, essential to play the official releases that are all public domain and the tons of cracking homebrew made over the years
