a couple months ago i found a wooden pong, thats right, wood, a nice tropical redwood at that. its called a video sport by intercon (a philipeno company) and it pretty much resembles other early 70s pons except for the wood part, very odd. the knobs look rather CB like and the battery compartment is lined with faux velvet...anybody else ever find one of these or have any info on it? dave winter?

waiting for a visitor with a high quality digital cam to stop by for good pics, see it in person nov.2

This one I have is wooden, although I've seen the same case from a different company in plastic, also.

Or is it the Telstar Classic? Inquiring minds need to know.

5-11under;
I have the pong pictured in your first pic. What brand name is it? Mine is Unitrex; also, it doesnt have the pronounced white borders around the potentiometers.

That's cool. I'll have to check sometime for the manufacturer of mine (ie. I'll have to find it in the basement construction zone). The rectangular borders around the potentiometers on mine are made of thin aluminum.
