Aaaah! That's more like it! What I meant was the home video game
console. Now back to the original question: does anybody know where I
can get a photo of it or at least a description). Thank you

I don't know if I have any of the Pong advertisements or not, but I most
likely have something close. It is pretty easy to recognize as the
cabinet was about 27" or so wide, about 30" deep, and stood somewhere
around 6 feet high.
Pong had a monitor?!? I didn't know that.
I have Atari's Pong here which is just the console.
First video game we ever got. I plan to pull it out of retirement for
a 1970's party being planned.
Hmm, I'd like to find a pic of that 6ft beast myself.
