Hi Bob,

Is there hope for a new run of Vectrex32 or some instructions on how to build one ? :)

Thanks for your help,

Vectrex32

Hi Max,

I've run into a few issues with the Vectrex32:
  • One of the components is no longer being manufactured. That's not a big problem - there are alternatives - but it requires a minor re-design.
  • The dual-port memory chip I use is getting very expensive. It's up to $38!
  • I have the V32s made in China, and Trump's tariffs have greatly increased the cost, especially since I have to pay a tariff on that $38 chip and the $15 CPU.

That doesn't mean all hope is lost for new V32s. I don't want to make any promises yet, but a couple different possible solutions are being explored.
