+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I dont know about it being the holy grail for Intellivision, but heres a playcable manual. I would rather have the play cable hardware. Im also not sure about the rarer than the keyboard, but am curious about the communities opinion. eBay Auction -- Item Number: 292520011883 Wow! I can't see what it sold for, but the highest declined offer was $400. I'm guessing that the buyer paid $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy stuff, I would be interest in the hardware if anyone just has one laying around lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Crazy stuff, I would be interest in the hardware if anyone just has one laying around lol You and me both! I'd actually rather have a PlayCable over a Keyboard Component. Starting to wish I'd bid more on that pretty, colorful PlayCable brochure lot. I can't complain, I do have the PlayCable manual set and the brown box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest LiqMat Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) I am sure this has been answered before and if you can point me to the right thread, great. Is there a Keyboard Component that anyone knows of with a working tape drive and has any of the tape software been imaged yet?

+stupus Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 (edited) Yes there are working units. I think all the software was imaged from my friend Dan's former collection. Frank Palazola has been working on an emulator for it. Hopefully we eventually see it's release. Edited April 12, 2018 by stupus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a keyboard component and he few tape functions Ive tested work, but I need more time off work to test it in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bugs me that NHL didn't get the For Color TV only treatment. It seems Mattel may have hated Canadians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Steve Jones Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 ok it's not just my eyes, 5 of those are the Color TV Viewing versions right, not all of them? Going cross-eyed trying to spot the text on the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Well, someone won the lottery (not me): eBay Auction -- Item Number: 253536897739 Honestly, I had the opportunity to buy. I toyed with the decision for probably an hour before deciding no. I've just spent far too much on eBay lately and couldn't justify chasing another variant. If it had been $60 or less I would have gone for it, but I just couldn't bring myself to dump $100 into these. They are nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it wasn't a bargain or anything, but you'd easily pay that hunting them down. I averaged $15-20ea for most of those. NFL and MLB were cheaper. They are in pretty nice condition in that lot.
