I'm in the midst of doing some cleaning in my shop, and ran across
some vectrex parts from back when I was doing repairs on them. I'm
wondering if they have any value these days.
It looks like most of the parts for a vec, other than the back cover,
controller, knob and power cord (cover and cord are there too, but
damaged). Tube is good, power transformer good, one of the two boards
is good, the other one is bad (tags fell off, so I don't know which
one is the good one and which is the bad one).
I also ran across a complete console, no controller, that boots up
in the built-in game - can hear sounds, responds to controller (I
tested with one from my working game). Display shows a single dot in
the upper right quadrant.
If they are worth something to you, let me know... otherwise I'll
scrap them down to smaller parts I might have use for in the future
and pitch the rest. My junk box is running low on some of the little
odds and ends, so they do have some value for that if nothing else...
I also ran across a working console, again with no controller. If you
have a vec that has died but have all the rest of the stuff, you could
pick this up and be back online...
If you have ideas on what this stuff is worth these days, please let
me know.
Thanks!

I'm always interested in spare Vectrex parts - if you put on ebay I
will bid for them. Alternatively, drop me an email and we can make an
arrangement. Are you US or UK based?
