Sears Telegames Speedway IV - Trying to find manual

[thevnaguy]

I recently picked up one of these and I am trying to locate either a scan of the manual or a manual itself so I can do a video on it.  I know there is no chance of finding a box unless I go raid John Hancocks place

 

Thanks!

I believe I have one. I will try to get some scans or pics for you. 😀

I know the question wasn't for me but I'll chime in anyway. 😜

 

IMO the Telstar Galaxy is probably harder to find. Anecdotally, I actually have two Speedway IVs (one has issues) and historically they've been known to pop up from time to time, although admittedly it's been a while since I've seen one. Conversely, the first Telstar Galaxy I recall seeing come up for sale in a long time was the one I completely lucked into on eBay a month and a half ago (just after MGC!--it was really cool meeting you there, by the way!).

 

Market conditions at the times of their releases might bear this out, as well (1977 vs. 1978).

Sorry for the late reply, i am bad about checking forums and mail :P.   I think the Telstar Galaxy would be the harder to find.  I have seen at least two of the Speedway IV before (although long ago before I began actively collecting again).  But I have never seen a Telstar Galaxy (even back in the day).  I only found out about it from when you did a video :P.
