Found a brand new, unused Pong console from 1979 in an Edinburgh charity shop for 20£ (lemmy.world)

Honestly, I envy you, Edinburgh is incredible.

Btw, there's a second pong console for a similar price in that charity shop, if you're interested and if nobody's got it yet :)

Thank you, Edinburgh is a beautiful and lovely little city, i reslly hope you enjoyed it. Which charity shop was it may I ask?

I sure did! It really is beatiful, one of my favorite cities of Europe! Also the thrifting possibilities are incredible.

Here's the address: https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ui/details.html?osmtype=N&osmid=5600831836&class=shop

What do you mean, Edinburgh? The city in question is Prague. See the console brand, it's from Prague 16 (Radotín).

Praha-Radotín train station

Edit: /s

BTW the Czechoslovak electronics brand TESLA also made a crappy Pong console using a presumably stolen chip design.

Except it's Radofin not Radotin
