    Is the turkey kit not based on this specification.

    I'm curious as well...  It looks like it's based on my mod, just from a rough eyeballing of the component count and mix.

    Yes, it's basically the mod from the wiki.  The biggest difference is that it uses a 47 Ohm resistor instead of a 20 Ohm.  This results in a dimmer but more stable output.

    Where to get AV mod kits for INTV and INTV II?

    I have the turkey board in my SVA but I tried out the PCB grips uploaded a while back on an Inty II, it came out way better than the first. Anyways, my real question is, has anybody used the PCB by Konus (fred) on eBay? Every one I've done has had more than what's pictured here, I'm not seeing any outputs.. the half assed instructions that came with it aren't much help.. Lol, Am I missing something here?

    I've installed a few of Fred's mods. They only do video, so you'll have to run the audio through a coupling capacitor (100 micro Farad, electrolytic) separate from the mod. It looks like your photo has the white wire as video in, yellow as video out, black as 5V common and red as ground. A good place to mount it is on top of the four ICs to the right of the RF box when looking at the board with the RF box closest to you. His mods are brighter than Murat's (the Turkish guy's), but they tend to be unstable when the screen features bright colors. I replaced the 20-22 Ohm resistor with a 66 Ohm resistor (two 33's in series) to make it work more like Murat's.

    Intellivision AV mod. Is composite still the only real option?

    Here's a mod you can order on eBay:

     

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intellivision-A-V-Composite-Video-Mod-Kit-NTSC-PAL-DIY-/181043125890

     

    It's fairly easy to install and works really well. I modded a Sears Super Video Arcade two weekends ago because the RF port was really flaky and stopped processing sound. After the mod, it works like a brand new machine!

     

    It ships from Turkey, so be patient.

    Play Kool-Aid Man as well. Nothing on the Intellivision is worse than that POS. Easily a contender along with Atari's E.T. for the worst game of all time. Even the programmer admits it.

    Below is from the Intellivision Lives website:

     

    FUN FACT: One magazine dubbed Kool-Aid Man as the "stupidest video game of 1983," adding "What's next, the Michelin Man game?"As a result, to this day when someone refers to Kool-Aid Man, Mark Kennedy corrects them with, "that's the AWARD-WINNING Kool-Aid Man!"
