First Spear Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hey Intellifamily, do we have anyone that can modify a console or components to add some bling? I am thinking about stuff like clear case replacements, strategic LEDs (hmm CPU activity LEDs), Intv II boards transplanted into Apple IIGS computer cases, etc. Imagine an Intellivision luggable, placed into a classic lunchbox style case or even a Mac Classic case with the screen built-in. The mind boggles. Whos got the ability here to do that kind of hardware work? Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mind boggles. Maybe in a Macintosh Portable case. The thing's already got a trackball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonPDX Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hrm... And the Intellivision II has some early-Macintosh "Snow White" style styling already... I may have to try that with one of my dead Mac SEs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharonPDX Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Shoot, I thought of this, came back to edit; but while I was quick enough to be able to click the edit button, by the time I hit "save," the time limit for editing had passed... Attempted Edit to add: No, I have the perfect idea... An Intellivision II plus ECS gutted and stuffed in to an Apple IIc case, with ECS keyboard in place of the IIc keyboard! (Or, if I figure out a way, adapt the existing Apple IIc keyboard to interface with the ECS, but I doubt that's possible.)Now I just need another ECS+keyboard to use, since I don't want to use my only one. I even have a dead Apple IIc to act as the "host" chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 The Ultimate Flashback is a totally different thing. I am talking about modifying the original hardware so it glows or has other visual effects, or transporting the guys of the cartridge-using system to a completely different case (which would then be modified). You've seen the "Ultimate Intellivision Flashback," right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Yes, I get it. Just be careful when transplanting guts of ancient, fragile hardware!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osgeld Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 sure, just send me a working unit with controllers and a game or two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
