Excellent work. I had a TV boy II for Christmas one year when I was still in school. It's proper "Argos" fodder. Slightly different form factor, but the same principle. Got a surprising amount of fun out of it.

That’s the one I had a lot of years ago, too. I liked the oval shape of the thing and that big daft fire button!

They are 2600 games, but yes, just so you lot can experience the pain of the TIA sound chip!

Wait a cotton picking minute. You expect me to believe you kicked out your overnight guest, got your sorry ass to the market, bought these described goods, took it to bits, tinkered, made good, photographed it all, wrote up your blog, got it to your editor, AND published it, all in the SAME DAY?

This truly is dedication to the tinkering cause. I applaud you, Sir.

(And your long suffering editor)
