text: I have an Intertron Video 2800, It is the most basic console with only Tennis, Hockey and car racing. Option for 1 to 4 players on certain games. I have been trying to find out if anyone else has one of these and how much its worth. I unfortunately do not have a box for it.

While puting together my little collection on you site, i stumbled over\
|
|
the description for the Interton Video 3000.\
|
|
It is mentioned that it doesn't have any paddles, but it does. At least i\
|
|
own a pair for my system. They fit nicely over the little round markings\
|
|
on the systems casing.

One more pong from the famous German manufacturer. This one has no paddles but only two control knobs built-in the system. The case is the same as the one used for the 2800, but compared to that one, two knobs and many options are missing.
|
|
|
|
Well, at least, this system includes a lightgun option. In fact, it's a [2400-like system](/museum/interton-video-2400/) with the shooting games of the AY-3-8500 chipset implemented.
|
|
|
|
It was designed to be sold worldwide as there are no text but only logical pictograms.
|
|
|
|
There is also a knob on the upper left used to adjust the TV output channel, or at least something to stabilize the output signal..
|
|
|
|
There was another "special feature" (uh, a bug, that is...): if you moved the game selector knob \*between\* any two of the games, a Football game appeared, where the left player had 3 paddles on the screen instead of only two... This bug which can be experienced on many pong systems is explained by specialist David Winter on the [Magiclick Teleclick](/museum/magiclick-teleclick/) page.

|
There is also a model 3001 wich has a color display. Case variations and label variations ("Interton" or "Interton Video") can be found.
