I see one about every two years. I have 3, 2 of which are in boxes.
And I've managed to collect all of the regular cartridges, except
for #26, in the boxes with instructions.
#19 is the hardest to find.

There was a second system (System II) that I believe was
produced by the company that bought the rights to Channel F from
Fairchild. The big differences in the two systems was that the
original had a dark plexiglas cover over the controller storage
compartment and the controllers were hard wired into the unit.
It was the first home video game system to use programmed
cartridges, but I think the cool thing about the Channel F was
it 4 axis controller.
