I was able to find this beautiful console at a decent price and I finally completed the 2 Commodore consoles from the 70s,
now I only miss the last console, or the C64GS which, however, I can not find anywhere .. well, to be honest it is but at disproportionate prices.<\/p>

Let's leave this story alone for now and focus on this new arrival !!

What is this stuff?
<\/span>As you know, Commodore began by producing typewriters and calculators, later it moved on to computers.
In about 1975 this console model came out which is a pong, in this period several companies produced one, they were simple machines and for that time it was a lot of stuff to have a machine with which to play at home on the TV.<\/p>

This pong has 4 types of play, a tennis to be played with 2 or 4 players, a football (similar to tennis), a squash that you can play alone and clay pigeon shooting (requires a shotgun).<\/p>

The machine has 4 paddles with a rotary potentiometer of which 2 are housed on the case and permanently connected, another 2 paddles can be inserted using the two jacks on the front panel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Above we can see that the screen printing was in English \/ German, there are 2 buttons, one for the service (only if we use the manual service) and a reset to restart the game or to use to change the game, then we find 5 switches of which one is for turning the console on \/ off, one for selecting the players, the type of service whether automatic or manual by pressing the button and 2 for the level of difficulty of the player on the left or right.
Well finally we find the knob to select the type of game and 2 small jacks to connect other 2 pads.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In the back there is the RF cable to connect the TV, the jack for the 9V dc power supply and 2 jacks for the connection of the rifle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
