Modding a Vectrex
Samstag:
I'll try to get a measurement tonight but I'm thinking it's a slightly smaller screen area. I've never actually seen a live Vectrex so I'm going by pics and specs. One major size difference is the tube neck. It looks like the Vectrex has a pretty short neck. The tubes I've got are something like 22" from face to neckboard.
I'll get some pictures. You've probably never seen anything like these.
ChadTower:
Well, I'm picturing long tubes like those in oscilloscopes.
What I'm thinking, is that if someone had a Vectrex with a dead tube, maybe we could see how well the Vectrex chassis can drive one of these things.

This is about the only thing I can think of that makes me wish I hadn't given away the 19" black-and-white NCD X-Terminal I got from my school...
