I got this console from a friend, the front sticker was missing so I made that myself and the antenna cord was interrupted so I got that changed as well.
I had paired the Universum Pong console with the HITACHI K-50E from 1978 and I have to say it looks gorgeous.
If you want to know more about the HITACHI K-50E, I had also made a short YouTube video on the topic.
