Tandy TV Scoreboard
I found this in a reclamation/second hand shop it was only £15, and seems to be in excellent condition. I already have the later Tandy Electronic TV Scoreboard which is a more handheld affair
I haven't tested it yet (I will), but it appears to be a four game PONG clone, it has sliders instead of potentiometers for the controls. you may feel like a superstar DJ while playing, like all the Binatone consoles claim 😜
The four games are... Tennis, Football, Squash, and Practice, which are the same as every other PONG console. There are manual score counters although the score may be on screen, and various options to affect gameplay
The console broadcasts on CH36 so will need tuning in via RF although you can normally composite mod these, and the model label which gives more infomation
The battery compartment takes six C cells, and still has the silica gel pack inside it
The rear of the console has the attached RF lead and the external power socket, and two blanking stickers, no idea what they are for
The controls lift up and then pulled forward to remove them from the base for easier play, they are hardwired with an acceptable cable length
A sticker showing how to return the control to the base unit
Standard Belling-Lee aerial plug
It also came with the official mains adaptor, or battery eliminator as they were called back in the day, this one has a 2.5mm jack plug and outputs 9V at 200mA which is common for a lot of the PONG consoles
