You can get Vectrex controllers from
http://www.atari2600.com
He generally has a range available, from $50 used (which is probably
more than you paid for the system, but you should see the prices a
complete system goes for) to $70 new in a box.
BTW, you should pick up the Multicart, which has every Vectrex game ever
produced in one cartridge with an on-screen menu select. See
http://www.xnet.com/~skelly/multis.htm. This is the page for the guy
who manufactures the multicarts, but you can also buy them from
atari2600.com.
You can get reproduction color overlays from
http://home.earthlink.net/~mfmurdock/Vectrex/vectrex.htm.
The web pointer list for Vectrex is at
http://fly.hiwaay.net/~lkseitz/cvg/nexus/Home/Vectrex/.
There is actually one person creating brand new games for the Vectrex!
