One really is in rough shape (very rusty, back plastic cover smashed, metal halved riveted together which has to be drilled apart, ribbon table torn in the middle, etc) but I&#8217;ve assembled two complete working examples.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2956\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull3.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull3-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull3-1024x720.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull3-768x540.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you can see the same display board I&#8217;d found previously is inside these:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2953\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1773\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb.jpg 1773w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb-1024x336.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb-768x252.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaypcb-1536x504.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1773px) 100vw, 1773px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>They use large stickers (or optionally colour copies or genuine manuals) which should be attached to the wooden board:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2952\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1758\" height=\"778\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards.jpg 1758w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards-300x133.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards-1024x453.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards-768x340.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displaycards-1536x680.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1758px) 100vw, 1758px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The finished unit is quite sturdy and attractive:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2954\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"660\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1-300x99.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1-1024x338.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1-768x253.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tv_displayfull1-1536x507.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Several important things learned from this:<\/p>\n<p>1) They exist.<br \/>\n2) They were definitely sold in Spain and France, two of the units have Spanish front glasses, and one was thicker perspex with different print layers and &#8220;Temps de Jeu&#8221; instead of &#8220;Tiempo de jeugo&#8221; by the timer.<br \/>\n3) While testing I worked out what the score really does &#8211; I already knew it increased by 1 point per 10 seconds, but what I didn&#8217;t know is that once the timer runs out the score decreases 1 point per second.\u00a0 Essentially it&#8217;s a bonus time feature.<br \/>\n4) The bonus time is game specific, so if you switch games with P2+P1 start and use the remainder of your time on another game, you can only use the bonus time earned on that current game, anything earned on another game is essentially banked until someone runs out of time while playing it.\u00a0 Doesn&#8217;t make much sense, but that&#8217;s how it works.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve updated the full system article with this new information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.system11.org\/?p=1785\">TourVision &#8211;
