There is one bat per side, a top and bottom boundary, and a center net. The individual scores are counted and displayed automatically. Considering the option where all bats and four angles are used, after the reset has been applied, the score will be 0-0 and the ball will serve arbitrarily to one side at one of the angles. If the ball hits the top or bottom boundary it will assume the angle of reflection and continue in play. The player beeing served must control his bat to intercept the ball. When a hit is detected by the logic circuit, the section of the bat which made the ball contact is used to determine the new angle of the ball. To expand on this, all bats are divided logically into four adjacent sections of equal length. When using the four angle option, it is the quarter section of the bat which actually hits and determine the new direction of the ball. The direction does not depend upon the previous angle of incidence. With the two angle option, top and bottom pairs of the bats are summed together and only the two shallower angles are used to program the new direction of the ball. The ball will be then sent back to the other player, bouncing on top and bottom noudaries as necessary until it reaches the other player.

This action is repeated until one player misses the ball. The circuitry then detect a score and automatically increments the correct score counter and updates the score display. The ball will then serve automatically towards the side which has just missed. This sequence is repeated until a score of 15 is reached by one side, meaning the end of the game. The ball will still bounce arround but no further hits or scores can be made. While the game is in progress, 3 audio tones are generated by the system to indicate top and bottom reflections, bat hits and scores.

text: With this game each player has a keeper and a striker. The layout is such that the keeper is in his normal position and the striker is positioned in the opponent's half of the playing area. When the game starts, the ball will appear going from one goal line to the other side. If the oppoenent's striker can intercept the ball, it will shoot it back towards the keeper. If the ball is missed, it will go to the other half of the playing area. The first team's striker will have then the opportunity to intercept the ball and deviate it at a new angle according to the playing option used. If the ball is intercepted by the keepr or it bounced back by the end-field boundary, the same striker will have another opportunity to intercept the ball and send it back to the keeper. A score is made by shooting the ball through the defined goal area. The circuitry then detect a score and automatically increments the correct score counter and updates the score display. The ball will then serve automatically

"On the black version, the controllers are two big dials, whereas on the wooden model, the controllers are two vertical sliders..."\

Mine was a black SC Eight Thousand with two controllers, but these had vertical sliders, not dials, just as the ones seen in this picture of a black four-controller version:\

text: I have an SC Eight Thousand unit. Original owner. Mine is a grey molded housing with black top. No woodgrain whatsoever. My button colors are blue power switch, orange reset and green serve. It does have a small Kmart sticker on the top of the console. Maybe it was a private label version sold through them? I don''t have the box nor do I remember it. I was probably 4 when I got it...

Sorry but not much...\
|
|
Check Ebay for prices, but pongs generaly are not worth much exept very original one or historic ones or analog ones... but the Radofin Tele-Sports does not belong to any of these groups... :(

This pong unit is excellent. It only plays four games but the controls, knobs and switches are really a pleasure to use. The game selection is made through a huge knob, the options are selected with nice 70's switchs which make you feel you are controling the USS Enterprise... Big orange buttons are used for on/off, reset and serve.
|
|
|
|
There is also two vertical sliders (ranging from O to 10) to keep the score of both players. The on screen scoring is still there, but the sliders are used to count the won games.
|
|
|
|
There were in fact two models sold. A black case version, and a fake wooden style model. The remote controllers are huge. On the black version, the controllers are two big dials, whereas on the wooden model, the controllers are two vertical sliders...

This pong system was sold under different brands, for example the [Ultrasound Tele-Sports](/museum/ultrasound-tele-sports/).
