Yeah sorry the model is a quick simple one so there's no detail for the Vectrex itself...

But yes, cartridge is the thing sticking out the front (this would need to go somewhere else as the Vectrex itself is in the way). I've made an extension ribbon cable so I can put a cartridge port anywhere it will fit. Overlays can be changed by lifting up the lid.

Just wondered if it might be slightly top heavy, especially if there is a CRT in it...

I wondered too, but it seems fine!

That, and Lunar Lander are the two games I wanted to run on it.  There are a few links in my old thread that might be useful to you.

Thanks, that looked like it would have been a great project. Protector is definitely up there in the top games, it's brilliant.

I decided over the weekend to start building it, so I made a project announcement thread:
