  1. I had never seen these before, but won these four in an auction recently. They must have been used to hold the gatefolds closed while hanging at the stores waiting to be purchased.

     

    Do these exist for all 9 of the gatefolds?

  2. The covers are interchangeable. You also need to swap out the controller trays and leads. Just be sure to put the short screw in the front center hole on the Sears cover because a long screw will poke through the lid! Also be careful not to pinch any wires when you tighten the covers down.

    Good points. Thanks!


  3. i only know of 3.1. All the controller test carts are available up to 4b

    Cool. Do you have a link of where they are available?

     

    I have another question too.

     

    Could a standard intellivision system use a sears top with controller port connectors? This way I could "convert" a standard system into one with detachable controllers. I ask because my actual sears systems have issues at the moment, but I have standard systems that are 100% working.


  4. Thank you very much. The MTE I am using is v3.

     

    Also, the first failure has an "M" first and then the "L" appears before going to the controller test screen.

     

    Is there a ROM for the latest version of the MTE test program (4.1b)? I do not have a CC3 and neither of the flash products are availbel yet. Can someone make me a cart with the latest ROM in it? :)


  5. Does anyone know if a Sears Intellivision system can be tested with the MTE-201 test cart? I have two systems and each give the following failure on one of the initial screens before the controller test.

    Does this happen for all Sears systems? Are there other failures typically found when using the MTE-201 on a Sears system? I got the following additional failure on a system recently purchased.

    Is this also a typical one?

     

    What is different about it (other than detachable controllers) that makes it fail these tests?

     

    So many questions!! :)


  6. I have since revised the shunt that I made after coming to the realization that the 1k I was using in place of the zener diode was allowing for more than the original voltage of 5V to the video point. I was somewhere around 8V derp. I wasn't sure if the extra voltage could be potentially damaging over time, so I just stuck in a 7805 to better regulate the voltage.

    Do you have a new updated schematic based on the tweaks you've made? The images look really clean!


  7. I recently got Tank Command Enhanced, Sirus, and Plutos 7800 games from him. Amazing professional work as usual and very well packaged. Can't say enough good things about this guy! :-D
