jlew715 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hey all, My Sears Super Video Arcade (which I probably overpaid for, but oh well) came today! So I figured Id make a post and show it off a little bit . Some things of note: 1. The SVA has much smoother controller disks than my 2609, Intellivision II, or System III (with the II being the crunchiest). Im talking orders of magnitude smoother. Not sure if this is due to some difference in the SVA or perhaps it has less mileage than my other consoles. 2. The SVA exhibits zero video ghosting in my Vizio LCD, where the 2609 has minor ghosting and the Inty II has severe ghosting. 3. The SVA has its clearest picture on Channel 3 where all three of my other Intellivisions have the best picture on Channel 4. 5. The controller wires, being uncoiled, are much longer but also a nightmare to put back in the console vs the consoles with coiled controller wires. 6. DUNGEADVANCEDAGONS. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMBerzerk Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Wow... That's a real nice unit. Best I've seen in a while and I own 3 plus I've bought, refurbed and resold quite a few. Nice find! As for the title screen... that's standard for the Sears exec rom. It was done on purpose to remove the 'Mattel Electronics presents' lines from all titles. It was the agreement Sears made with Inty so that they could sell the unit under the Sears brand. Good luck with. It's my personal favorite... One other thing... if you need to touch up the brown paint at all.. get a bottle of Testors 'Rubber' paint (the original little bottle with the white cap). It's a near exact match to the Sears color... but unfortunately, in a flat finish.... but hey... it beats a brown Sharpie JR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColecoJoe Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Beautiful. I recently got a non-working unit for under $30 and when I went to troubleshoot it turned out to work just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
