Not Mine For Auction on eBay Ebay Item Listing: 182186251428 www.ebay.com/itm/Vectrex-HP-console-NEW-LIGHTPEN-LIGHT-PEN-Aluminum-billet-brand-new-/182186251428
"Vectrex HP console NEW LIGHTPEN LIGHT PEN Aluminum billet brand new."
"This is a brand new repro Vectrex light pen. The custom billet Aluminum housing was hand machined on a lathe from billet stock. I had 2 of these made. I sent the cases off to Frank Holden and he installed all the new electronics and cord. I kept one for myself and I am offering this one up for auction. This would be a great piece for any Vectrex fan. This thing is high quality and will never wear out, but check out the pictures and see for yourself. Please email any questions. "

Different, but I don't like it that much. As long as it works though, I guess.

Cool, thanks for sharing. .. I don't know if I like it either, for this functional purpose. But I LOVE the idea and this process for a custom item. I guess you couldn't use a lathe, but a Vectrex control panel milled out of similar stock would be excellent.

Not my cup of tea. Needs to be original. Or at least 'paint it black'. I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors any more, I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes Pointless, but I couldn't resist...

I feel like it ought to be polished and embossed.
