Notes

A ball top and fitting for the ColecoVision hand controller's stick, carrying both V.P.I. and CBS Electronics names.

The double name

  • CBS Electronics distributed the ColecoVision outside North America. A CBS-branded accessory is therefore the European issue of a product V.P.I. made - which is worth recording, because it dates and places the item.

What it does

  • Fits over the console's very short stick to give something to grip, turning a fingertip control into a handful.
  • The stock controller is the most complained-about part of the machine, and accessories like this are the period's answer.
