MBO, a popular German electronics manufacturer, produced a large serie of pong systems named "tele-ball" with numbers ranging from 1 to 9. Though they had some cosmetic differences, all these systems were very close to each other in terms of functionality.
|
||
|
||
The **Tele-Ball III** is thus very similar to the original [Tele-Ball](/museum/mbo-tele-ball/) or [Tele-Ball II](/museum/mbo-tele-ball-ii/), offering only the 4 classic pong games in black & white. As usual with MBO, the different systems are quite different cosmectically, but very close in termes of functionality.
|
||
|
||
The dial on the front panel is used to select the different games. Then 6 switches are used to select the different game options. Two red buttons acts as Reset button and Manual Service.
|
||
|
||
All in all, not a very exciting pong system...
