I kept a Microvision for myself, but it looked out of place on the shelf with my handhelds, so I decided it went better here with my Virtual Boy and it's Milton Bradley cousin, the Vectrex!
I saw this #MB #MicroVision in a shop in France.
A handheld console with a very odd cartridge system.
I must say it was very tempting, but I'm currently trying to reduce my collecting.

Die Platine aus dem "Super Blockbuster"-Modul. Der TMS1100 ist 1982 schon deutlich kleiner geworden.

Die Nr. 8 ist nun auch hier eingetrudelt. Damit ist die #MicroVision-Sammlung erstmal komplett. 
Frage mich gerade, was da mit den Buttons los ist? Auf der Box sind die andersrum als auf dem Modul und wenn ich mir andere Bilder anschaue, scheint es sowohl bei der Box, als auch beim Modul beide Varianten zu geben. Hat man wohl gemacht, wie man gerade Lust hatte?

Tja, das kam erst heute an und damit "etwas" zu spät als Beispiel für ein Spiel, das in Europa einen komplett anderen Namen bekam. Nun ja...
Mal sehen, wann Super Blockbuster hier eintrudelt. 
Eine neue Folge der #sammlerEcke ist online.
Diesmal zeige ich den #MicroVision von Milton Bradley.
Die nächste Folge wird entsprechend der Umfrage dann das FM Towns Car Marty behandeln.
Took a gamble on this "untested" MB #Microvision with the picture of the back showing signs of battery leakage. Turns out the unit (display, sound, keys/knob) is fully working, so is the included BlockBuster game.
Two of the four battery terminals were corroded. Since only two are needed anyway, I removed the bad ones and swapped the good ones around. Also had to re-attach one wire of the speaker and gave the system a light cleaning.
So for only 15€, I now own the European variant of the MB Microvision as well. (have a mint US variant CiB already)

Here's the complete system. It has a new screen and has been re-capped, too.
Seeing the condition of other systems around, this might be one of the best-preserved original US units. It's freaking 44 years old! 
Today, I finished restoring the box of my MB #Microvision (US version, 1979). When I got this many years ago, the box was very worn. The last step was to apply a color-protection coating, which also gives the box a nice silky gloss.
The sticker covers a damage caused by an old price tag. It's not very adhesive and can be removed later easily - should I ever come up with a way to fix the damage underneath.
