Larry,
That certainly is interesting...I would have liked to have seen that one.
I picked up a second Aquarius the other day, this one from Mattel, while my
first doesn't bear the Mattel name anywhere on it, and seems to have been sold
directly by Radofin Electronics. Other than the Mattel name missing from the
case and ID label though, and the fact that the Radofin machine has an 'R'
tacked to the end of the model number, they are identical. The third variant
I've heard of, but not seen, is the PAL version sold in the UK. I don't
recall it's model number, but it's model was totally different than the 5931
model of the US NTSC version.
