Atari-Collector Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Just thought I share a photo of my Radio Shack TV Scoreboard, one of the many pong type clones.. It's in great shape, original RF cable, power supply and owner's manual! And the topper, only ONE owner :D 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Nice. A little dirt by the left stick but otherwise good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Been thinking about getting one of those cause I have the small radio shack tv scoreboards that look like remotes and the two color tv scoreboards. I want to get all of those. I think that is an AY-3-8500 system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Those rotary lever controls are interesting. They also had tradional rotary dial controls. And then finally the Radio Shack pongs had the slide controls which is what I had. Which is the preferred controller type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Neat! I picked up one of these CIB at a show a couple years back for $10, just because I like collecting Radio Shack systems (mainly TRS-80 systems). Those rotary lever controls are interesting. They also had tradional rotary dial controls. And then finally the Radio Shack pongs had the slide controls which is what I had. Which is the preferred controller type? Dials are probably what you'd want. The levers work well enough but feel kind of strange by comparison. Ditto for sliders, except with sliders you don't have as much leverage.

The black one is supposed to have a light gun with it while the one with blue knobs doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylon Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have both versions of the that. The black one is supposed to have a light gun with it while the one with blue knobs doesn't We had the grey one pictured and it had the gun with it in the box and instructions for it. Can't remember what we did with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhig1 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I have four Radio Shack TV scoreboards. The two small handheld ones and two different color ones. The big tan and brown color tv scoreboard uses the same chip as the Adversary by General semiconductor but the picture is snowy and there is nothing I can adjust inside it. The other color tv scoreboard is similar to the Lloyds 813 color tv game and the coleco telstar arcade game because it uses the same chips as those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
