Bamse Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So, I have my intellivision on a table that is in front of a radiator. The rad will be off whenever I'm using the intellivision but I just wondered if people think my Inty will be OK near the radiator when the radiator is on but the Inty is off? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoJoe Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Depends how close but I wouldn't want any old plastic near a radiator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 About a foot away and it wouldn't be fully on. So your concern would be with the effects on the plastic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Who knows what longer term effects the constantly cycling heat would do to plastics and parts. Sounds like a good experiment! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 (edited) From an electronic stand point, the ambient air temperature from a radiator shouldn't have any adverse effect when the Inty is off should it?

m-crew Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 for me I would just put something behind the intellivision just to deflect the heat up and over it .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Long term heat on plastic can make plastic brittle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamse Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Was thinking of putting some padded radiator foil over the section of the radiator behind the intellivision. I understand people's concern regarding heat and old brittle plastic but surely the intellivision itself generates more heat internally than a radiator a foot away could ever do?
