The VC-4000 is powered by a Signetics 2650A CPU (same as the [[Arcadia 2001]]) and a Signetics 2636 Video Controller. The two controllers are composed of a 12-key keypad, 2 fire buttons and an analog joystick. On the control panel of the system, one can find an on/off switch and three buttons: RESET, SELECT and START. | The VC-4000 is powered by a Signetics 2650A CPU (same as the [[Arcadia 2001]]) and a Signetics 2636 Video Controller.
