The sweet spot for home turntable enthusiasts on a budget seems to be the $200 mark. This might be the best of the bunch.
One can only imagine the sake-fueled club hopping that led to the development of the Seiko Frequency drum machine watch.
Build Your Own Pong Game
By James Grahame
Atari's Pong started the home video game craze in 1976. The unit featured two paddles and a bouncing square "ball." The object was to keep things bouncing back and forth. Kinda like a good date.
Electronics kit maker Velleman has created a Classic TV game kit that lets you build a modernized version of Pong. As you can see, the graphics are black & white and extremely rudimentary, but that's part of its charm. The kit features single and two player modes, so you can include your significant other in your latest electronic obsession. Simple though it is, I find myself wanting to build one into an old upright arcade case.
