I got this here, from a great AA member. This is a very unique item, and any additional information about it is much appreciated. Check out my youtube tour for more:



Enjoy!

That is just a standard equipment case that was modified to work with the Vectrex. Doesn't make it any less cool tho. :)

this is about as much as I know about it. I do not think it is homemade, and even if it was, it was definitely used, in the era, by a MB employee

It would be cool if someone built a few new ones. Like I said in the video, the foam has gone to shit inside the original. It would be awesome to have one with new foam, better drawers, and possibly a little lighter? 10kg from Holland was not very economically friendly haha

edit: I would be interested in working with anyone with the skillset to put these together; providing detaied measurements, more in-depth video footage, etc.
