Curiosity finally got the better of me and I went and bought the '100 inch
TV display' plans. It's basically an adjustable box with a lens, and the
Vectrex needs to be stood upside-down - but it could work though, and I'm
going have a go at building it when I get time.

Anyway, here's the plans if any of you fancy something to do over the Easter
hols....

A long time ago I bought plans for one of those "Build a Cable Descrambler
for less than $15 with 7 parts found at Radio Shack" things....This was
after I built a real SSAVI "Sync Restorer". In with the descrambler plans
were plans for a projector much like the one you have. I'm going to have to
dig them up when I get home. I'll let you know if they are any different.

If the Vec can project enough light it would be pretty cool. Hook up the
audio to a stereo system and wake up the neighbors!

Sounds really cool. I think i'll make one for my vectrex when i get it
hopefully next week. Vectrex has very bright picture with no overlay,
so this migh work very well!
This thing could help very much us with no overlays.. Printed
overlays could be put on the wall where the image is projected,
or even on front of a separate lamp on small transparent film
like in dia projectors.. or how about using a dia projector
to project overlay over the image.. I got much new ideas
to think about now :)

Let us hear how it works when you get it done. I'm still
waiting to get my first Vectrex first.
