Original Pong circuit

Is there anyone out there who knows if there are any places that sells the original Pong circuit in parts, so you can solder your own Pong game? I got the one from ThinkGeek http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/science/8546/ which is a pretty basic one to build. But now I want the original!

I'm guessing you're going to have some trouble with that. In Dallas, there used to be a company that provided a lot of games for bars. As the games age and become less popular, they pull them and replace them. I once got a Ms. Pacman that way. I forget their name, but the principal holds. Check around your nearest large city. Pong, however, is so dam' old you probably won't have a lot of luck. It would probably be easier to find a copy of the circuit diagram and buy the parts, or reasonable substitutes.

Have fun. It would probably be easier to buy a propeller chip and code your own game than to track down an original pong board.
