 i had pong as well, got bored with it after a few weeks and sold it on. I think it cost £20 for the unit. Also had a timex red led watch, battery lasted 3 months and cost £5 to replace (which was a lot in 1976 !)

and that was the only time you replaced the battery?

decided it was good money after bad and the watch got mothballed.

Bite the bullet and throw it out Dave, I threw mine decades ago.     I doubt if they will ever appear on an Antiques Roadshow of the future.

Unfortunately i'm a bit of a hoarder especially for tech from yesteryear but i may get the last laugh when it's valued at a couple of grand (in about 200 years time  ).

Keep on taking the statins Dave and you will probably make it.
