Don’t see these very often!
A Rowtron 2000. I believe it was the only MPT-03 clone sold in the U.K. Hanimex cloned the Emerson architecture and Rowtron cloned the MTP-03 design.
This one’s fully working but needs tlc. I also need it to diagnose a broken one!
Love these old Signetics machines. 🎉

Right side column please. But if I could swap the CoCo for the Rowtron, that would be nice. Big nostalgia feels.

Some APVS clone types had internal sockets, like the Intertons and Rowtron/Telengs. Emerson Arcadia clones, Channel Fs, Videopacs and MPT-03s also had internal sockets - it was just the Radofin/Acetronics and Videomaster/Voltmaces that were hardwired. And yeah, it must have been to save costs.

It’s more common to find a Radofin/Acetronic with broken handles than not, tbh. Rowtron/Telengs are better quality, as are Intertons. Databases are very good, but I think Voltmace dropped the steel cores towards the end. I need to drag all my machines out of storage and do a proper audit this year.

And secondly, a BackBit Pro Cartridge with adapters for just about everything I’ve got that’s supported: #Acetronic/#Prinztronic/#Radofin APVS, #Interton VC 4000, #Emerson Arcadia 2001/#Hanimex HMG2650, #Rowtron/#Soundic MPT-03…

Yeah, they’re very basic but I find them so intriguing. Getting them to do anything at all is a real puzzle :)
And the Hobby Module is fascinating, you’re right. I have several for the Rowtron/Teleng version & did some Twitch live streams on it about a year ago. I should edit them up & carry on…

Not one you see every day. And with good reason, it’s crap. But enjoy the pics before these go into storage. Teleng /Rowtron TCS.

Faulty Rowtron /Teleng and loads of carts. On/off switch was faulty 😂Bypassed it whilst I search for part.
