Has anyone else hooked their Vectrex unit up to a stereo amp yet.  I did.
After locating the speaker wire's connection to the internal PC board, I
attached a phono plug to that side of the cabinet (drilled a hole through the
cabinet so that phonon jack protrudes stightly), then connected that to my 
AUX stereo input.  WOOOOoooo!  Its really terriffic.  There is a lot of sound 
coming out of that little Vectrex.  You just don't it there.  The sound 
quality is as good as the coin-ops.  Highly recommended for all Vectrex 
freaks!!  

Be advised that some background buzzing does leak into the audio circuit.  This
is normal (the Vectrex graphic h/w operates on many frequencies, unlike raster
graphics devices).  The cure is to keep your stereo amp turned down low and 
turn up the volume from the Vectrex on/off switch.  I gaurantee you'll love 
the results.
