Awesome, I'm pretty sure that was the exact same one that we had when I was a kid. 8)

My Mum and Dad next bought an Atari VCS 2600 because a) They were dead impressed with Binatone Pong and wanted more video game goodness b) My Dad's mate worked at an electrical supplier and I think either we got one cheap because we used his staff discount or it fell off the back of a lorry with his help lol. My money would be on the latter for both machines because we weren't too well off lol ;D

Flash bugger.
The Binatone was it for me from the seventies until we got a zx spectrum plus, Christmas 1984.
