Description: The Vectrex game system.
 

Please help!! Vectrex screen problem. 
  I won my Vectrex on ebay about a week ago for $160 ,got about 5 hours out of it in 5 days, yesterday i was playing Star Trek and had just made it to level 2 when all of a sudden the monitor pooped , the picture looked kinda as if the brightness was up all the way giving the image a line from the middle of the screen to every object on the screen (normal on mine if i turned the brightness up all the way , i keep it at half brightness to save the screen normally) but whilst doing this the screen was fading darker and darker till it was just a white dot,all this happened within 10 seconds at that point i panicked and turned it off , After having about 3 heart attacks and an hour of letting it cool i decided to plug it back in and test out the damage , sound works great , no screen , no white dot... ive checked most of the solder points and they all checked totally fine on the multimeter , the fuse i think is ok but i really cant be sure as its the most bizarre spring hooked to one tiny wire type of deal 500ma 250v , pics [link] ,ive also checked this as it seems to be a fix for some with kind of alike problems ,Seems to be working with no breaks [link] , I really hope im not at a loss here as i just got a second controller in the mail today ,pole position hopefully tomorrow should be here and have collected about 15 games, one spare star trek cart and one extra spike id be willing to give to anyone willing to help get this going again. So So clean too. Kills me. [link]... more »

Interest check - Veccab arcade joystick for Vectrex / Veccab 
  I've kinda been off the Vectrex scene for some time although I've never stopped playing and still have my collection of standard and some non-standard Vectrex stuff. Some years ago I designed the Veccab, an arcade style cabinet, which houses the Vectrex and build a prototype which got a lot of interest online, on fairs and Eurocon when I introduced it. I've seen many copies since :)... more »
