Hi all,

I've done a little project fitting Richard's excellent VecVox pcb
(http://www.vectrex.biz/) into a standard Vectrex game Cartridge.

For those interested here's a picture:

and here's the label I used:

Have fun!

You mean you didn't take this in consideration when designing
the pcb? 😉

Thanks

(If you send me a case + a VecVox I'll be happy to build you one)

I followed dgo's example ...

I finished mounting my VecVOX inside a Vectrex Berzerk cart. I looked
at the reproduction carts but they do not snap together. The original
carts do. I also had to remove some plastic from it also. In addition
to the hole for the blue LED I also drilled a small hole for setting the
circuit to emulate VecVoice mode. Looks pretty good.

I also mounted my AtariVOX inside a spare (broken) Star Ship cart. The
cart door and spring were removed and saved. I had to remove some
plastic to make it fit. I also drilled a hole in the front of the cart
for the blue LED light to shine forth!

Both of these look great and work with my spare computer speaker.

(Save the Atari cart spring for repairing Vectrex controllers)
