I'm sorry that I wouldnt have any of those games you want. I have a relative low number of INTV games compared to most people, but if you dont get the trades you need, for the right price, I'll take the vectex and atari 7800 system off your hands.

You guys have a lot of wonderful advice. I may just try another old school switchbox or get try to bypass that altogether by getting the adapter that plugs straight into the TV. I realized Ive only tested with auto RF boxes like the one for NES or the box that came with the 2600-that box may be bad. I hope I get these consoles working soon, I've got about 150 games between the 2 units I want to play.

Thanks for your replies! I've actually used both the switch box and I 've used an old rf box from the NES-nothing. It has worked before, a long time ago,I'm just brushing it off becuase I recently aquired a bunch of games for it. I just wish i knew someone in the area who fixed the old game system (especially now,since I just found out my 2600 wont turn on either!) The Gaming Gods must hate me!...lol. Is it hard to swap out the chips? If someone has a broken one they dont mind getting rid of,I'll take it off your hands for cheap...or if someone has a working one they will to sell for a good price,I may just ditch this one.

Hi. I'm new to the Atariage forum. I have an Intellivision (I think the model number is 2609?) that when I turn it on,it goes to a black,slightly snowy screen. I try all the usual stuff,like cleaning the cartridges and the contacts,making suring the tv is on the correct channel.I've tried different adapters to the TV,pressing the reset button numerous times. I've also opened the unit and unplugged the controllers and checked the ribbon that goes from the logic board,looks ok. That's about as comfortable as Im willing to go as far as dissasemble (I have no knowledge of soldering). Does anyone know of some other basic things I could try or know of anyone in the Louisville, Ky. area that can repair these things? Thanks in advance and if I posted this the wrong place,I'm sorry. I look forward to having lots of conversations and learning about the INTV and other vintage game consoles,as I'm a new collector of these things.
