Obtainium Gaming 2019-09-08 | A short video showing the final product packaged and ready to send to the next serious Vectrex collector. The Audio Tap is a design I created to add Stereo to the Vectrex by taping into the Vectrex un-featured capabilities. It also has a headphone jack to listen in private. Since the Vectrex has a buzz to it, I recommend buying my Buzz Off kit available on ebay to rid the internal speaker noise so you can hear the clarity of the Audio Tap.

They go on Ebay time to time for $99. It gives you Audio out with no headphone amp.
