Description
Now that I have opened up some room, I can have my inflatable kitties up again! Dug out my old tiger and got her holding air decently now as well. The 15ft lioness has the patches drying (trying a different glue). If they hold up, she will be inflated tomorrow evening to join the group! Now to find a Uniroyal tiger inflate and Tony the Tiger inflate to join them. Inflatable kitty sanctuary!

Actually, both are in the picture. The 15ft one is the one nearest the camera.

Oh right lol, I can see the tiger looks a little bit bigger, but I would have thought 15 ft would look alot bigger when pictured up against its smaller counterpart

The tiger popped, sadly. But was adopted and repaired. Another is on the way.

I envy your Vectrex units. A friend of mine and I used to play Asteroids on his Vectrex when we were younger! I REALLY wanted one, so I asked him if he still had it several years later. He was going to give it to me, but it had already been sold or donated D:

The vectrex is definitely a cool piece. Though since it uses a CRT, they eventually are all going to konk out sometime in the future. With an Atari, you can always hook it up to another TV.

I've got CRTs from the 50s that are still nice and bright...

Oh, the CRTs will last a while for sure. The biggest issue for the Vectrex is that it gets turned on and off alot more than a regular TV so you can switch games. Over time some CRTs can develop shorts or grid leakage from that.

Oh yeah, never thought of that!

I won't wonder about the seam defects. You just overinflate them way too much.

The 15ft lioness had a couple seam defects and a mystery puncture that appeared from possibly a mouse. The tiger had one seam defect and got damaged in storage by an antique cash register she was stored near.
