Here we have another Pong console from 1977 that looks suspiciously like the Transylvania Sportfun that's already on display in the museum
It's also known as the Superlectron TV Challenger Series 3000 (TVC-3000), why they dropped the Superlectron name I don't know
It's not exactly the same as the Sportfun, the game select switch is different, but everything else is the same, apart from the battery compartment as you'll see later
This Pong is a typical four game console using the common General Instrument's AY-3-8500 Pong on a chip, which offers Tennis, Hockey, Squash, and Solo with the options for ball speed, return angle, bat size, and auto/manual serve which is called regular and pro, along with power and reset buttons
The box was included, however it's not in the best condition, it does include all the features of the console printed on the box, which includes "Triple Sound", whatever that is
And there's no need to worry, it's licenced by Magnavox as all the early Pong consoles seem to be
The box contains another cardboard box which is in an even worse condition
At last we come to the console itself, and it is quite small, not the smallest in the museum, but smaller than a Binatone TV Master Mk4
Close up of the console and it's features including the speaker
The base of the console with it's model labels. At first I didn't notice the sticker covering what is likely to be a battery compartment on other versions. The sticker does say the console must be used with an AC adaptor
The view from the front and back showing the three hardwired cables which are the two controllers and TV RF lead. There is also a power socket
The view from the sides, and you can see the battery compartment, I wonder how many owners tried to open the cover to see what's in there
The Transylvania does take batteries, two PP3 9V batteries, I would suspect the compartment here does not have the battery connections
Here are the controllers which are a variable resistor and serve button in a box
And finally, a plug
