You can get Vectrex controllers from http://www.atari2600.com
He generally has a range available, from $50 used (which is probably
more than you paid for the system, but you should see the prices a
complete system goes for) to $70 new in a box.
BTW, you should pick up the Multicart, which has every Vectrex game ever
produced in one cartridge with an on-screen menu select. See
http://www.xnet.com/~skelly/multis.htm. This is the page for the guy
who manufactures the multicarts, but you can also buy them from
atari2600.com.
You can get reproduction color overlays from
http://home.earthlink.net/~mfmurdock/Vectrex/vectrex.htm.
The web pointer list for Vectrex is at
http://fly.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/cvg/nexus/Home/Vectrex/.
There is actually one person creating brand new games for the Vectrex!

Vectrex Game system, looks kinda grimey and no
joystick, but does
power up with the space mines game, already found a few resources on
the
'net but not the pinouts for the joystick
yet.
The _service_ manual is available from ftp.csus.edu in /pub/vectrex, I
think. That contains a full schematic, and hence a pinout of the
joystick
port. If you can't find it, I'll dig out the pinout.
I also have schematics of adapters to use Tandy CoCo and IBM PC
joysticks
with the Vectrex. If you'd like copies, I'd be happy to provide them.
