+
+This pong is one of the many Binatone systems. As its name indicates, it offers 6 games : 4 pong games (squash, squash practice, football, tennis) and 2 shooting games (target, shooting).
+
+In order to understand how this system fits into the Binatone pong range, here is simplified list of the systems :
+
+TV Master MK IV\
+TV Master 4 plus 2\
+TV Master MK 6\
+TV Master MK 8\
+TV Master MK 10
+
+Colour TV Game\
+Colour TV Game 4 plus 2\
+Colour TV Game MK 6\
+Colour TV Game MK 10
+
+The TV master serie are black & white pongs (first generation). The **TV Master MK 6** system is the same as the [TV Master 4 plus 2](/museum/binatone-tv-master-4-plus-2-model-n-01-4869/) except that the light gun is included in the MK 6 package while it is only optional for the TV Master 4 Plus 2 (you had to buy it separately). Same marketing strategy for the [Color TV Game 4 plus 2](/museum/binatone-colour-tv-game-4-plus-2-model-n-01-4850/) and **Color TV Game MK 6**.
+
+The two shooting games (and thus the lightgun) are also the only difference between the **TV Master MK 6** and [TV Master MK IV](/museum/binatone-tv-master-mk-iv-model-n-01-4974/). And the **TV Master MK 6** is the same as the **Colour TV Game MK 6**, except that the latter offer games in colour.
+
+So how to differentiate a **TV Master MK 6** from a **Colour TV Game MK 6** ? Well first, the name... ;-) The underside and switches of the former are orange while those of the Colour TV Game are grey. The Colour TV Game has also a small 'colour' logo next to its name (upper right), which the TV Master has not.
+
+The paddles are rather small, with one knob each, but are detachable and connected to the system through two small sockets. One interesting feature is that there is a switch to turn sound on / off (great !).
