Has anyone else hooked their Vectrex unit up to a stereo amp yet. I did. After locating the speaker wire's connection to the internal PC board, I attached a phono plug to that side of the cabinet (drilled a hole through the cabinet so that phonon jack protrudes stightly), then connected that to my AUX stereo input. WOOOOoooo! Its really terriffic. There is a lot of sound coming out of that little Vectrex. You just don't it there. The sound quality is as good as the coin-ops. Highly recommended for all Vectrex freaks!! Be advised that some background buzzing does leak into the audio circuit. This is normal (the Vectrex graphic h/w operates on many frequencies, unlike raster graphics devices). The cure is to keep your stereo amp turned down low and turn up the volume from the Vectrex on/off switch. I gaurantee you'll love the results.
