      Honestly, I envy you, Edinburgh is incredible.

      Btw, there’s a second pong console for a similar price in that charity shop, if you’re interested and if nobody’s got it yet :)

          I sure did! It really is beatiful, one of my favorite cities of Europe! Also the thrifting possibilities are incredible.

        What do you mean, Edinburgh? The city in question is Prague. See the console brand, it’s from Prague 16 (Radotín).

        Praha-Radotín train station

        Edit: /s

        BTW the Czechoslovak electronics brand TESLA also made a crappy Pong console using a presumably stolen chip design.
