Console number 11, I think, is the APF TV Fun!! That's a great name, isn't it?
There's a temporary antique store in the mall and holy crap does he have a LOT of old expensive toys. THis pong console is old, but it wasn't expensive; the guy only wanted $25 for it. I probably could've haggled it down down to $20, but that didn't occur until after I bought it.
This is one of those consoles that uses batteries. This one uses 6 C batteries.
It works fine, but there's a couple issues; 1, the left paddle is a little jittery, but that's to be expected from a console made in 1976. Second, today I've been having trouble getting this thing to turn off. The power button doesn't work when you try to turn it off so I have to open the battery compartment and take a battery out and put it back in.
The console has four games; mine is the 401a model, meaning it has Pong, hockey (I think), squash, and handball.
The design is kinda spaceship-looking.

Yep! This console really goes back.
There's a version of the TV Fun that has external controllers which are cylinder-shaped.
