Overview

The APF TV Fun is an early Pong clone manufactured by APF Electronics, Inc. in 1976. The stand alone console went through numerous iterations, of which the Model 401A is among the earliest. Later models maintained the general form factor of the 401a but added detachable paddles and light guns. The 401a originally sold as a battery operated unit using six "C" batteries. It came with a RF modulator and has a switch for Channel 3 or 4. For an additional charge, a "battery Eliminator" (AC adapter) could be ordered from APF in order to use AC power. The 401a is a self contained unit with two rotary dials set on either side to control the paddles. The unit comes with four built in games and switches to change paddle size, ball speed and ball angle. The four games are: Table Tennis (pong), Hockey, Squash and Single player Squash.
