Little is known about this small pong system made in Hong Kong.
It connects to the TV antenna socket an can play 4 different pong games: tennis, hockey, squash (1 player) and squash (2 players). Games selection is made through a small dial in the middle of the case. Switches are used to choose different functions (bat size, ball speed, angles).
The player slider control are detachable from the main console. The console runs on 6 C-size batteries, or from a 9V external power supply.

I''ve got a Sands 3000 in its original box with instructions which was bought in the early to mid 70''s. Its been in the box since the 80s so it is in very good condition indeed. Anyone want to buy it?
