What was the final verdict?

Yes. I used a multi meter and did a continuity check between each of the 9 pins in the connector against the points soldered to the board and found one of the pins had an open. I cut the connector off and replaced it with https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066HQ7S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and it now works. I do have a few extra optical sensors I picked up on eBay in case someone thinks it could fix their issue I would gladly sell (cheap) But I only have 5 I think. Have to look.

Ok so I ordered 2 of the optical sensors and it did not fix my issue. I did a search and found some schematics for the roller controller. So I broke out my multi-meter and began to test pins. used the known working sensor and compared the voltages on the IC inputs and outputs for each sensor according to the schematics. (I have a little background in electronics so I can reasonably understand the circuits.) When spinning the optical roller I did see a Hig/Low or 5v/0v signals where there should be. I noticed even on the one I replaced it was also reading fine so I don't think the sensor that i replaced is bad. I traced it down to pin 9 of the actual 9 pin connector (From the board to the connectors end). Since it is molded plastic I can not open it to see if a pin came loose or a solder joint is broken. I could not get any continuity until I cut off the end and striped the pin 9 wire. So I am ordering some db9 connectors and I am going to replace both connectors. I will update this thread as soon as I get the parts. It would be easier just to solder a cord from another unit but I dont have one...lol.

Thanks for finding the part. I bought one recently for $25.00 but they did not know if it worked. The left/right doesw not work. If this fixes it then it cost me 35.00 since I am buying 2 sensors in case. I will let you all know if this fixes mine...

I just found out that Jerry (oldjd) passed away on January 5th. Very sad day.... If anyone has been trying to contact him this is why.....My condolences goes out to the family....

I will be sending in my fat PS2 to him to make the cover soon and it has that adapter.

I just bought the PS1....I am so glad you have these now. I have bought almost all of the covers.. Looking forward to the possibility of Xbox and PS2

Sorry its taken me so long/ I have the box right here and I will look at the information.

This is crazy. I had been thinking of this exact idea....wonder to see someone has already made some great progress...I may be able to help. I have boxes for INT II and One along with the voice module...

I would still loan my TG-16 if they want to make a cover.

I got mine to day! Works great. Thank you!!!!!

Wow A set of these just sold for $300.00 on ebay. I watched out of curiosity. I have a set but don't have intentions of selling them but man if they go fro that kind of price....lol http://www.ebay.com/itm/Supplemental-Overlays-Pack-for-INTV-Intellivision-Flashback-Never-Used-/381985945582?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=XAupYN1Cji67JdrfyWycZMFSlE8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Although after looking at the bids I am suspicious of the one that won with a feedback rating of (1) But nevertheless the bid just before that looks real and was still offering 300.00. Well I am no Ebay expert so take that with a grain of salt....

Please add my to this wonderful list. case for Lynx II

How many would be interested in a Turbografx 16 cover? I would be willing to send mine in and loan as a template. I think the Turbografx 16 has a strong collector base. I have bought almost all of the covers so far. Soon as I finish my game room which should be an a few weeks I will post pictures to show my appreciation for all the work they have done for the community. Needs a cover.....

Sorry I should have explained that. I soldered a short wire and ran it underneath then up through the board. So yeah it does look like I soldered pin 26.

I finally got the mod installed. At first I was getting a solid yellow screen. I doubled check all my connections and found nothing connected wrong. I still did not work so I did a continuity check and thought I may have a short on the 5 volt line to ground. So I moved the 5 volt line to another spot on the board and tried again with no luck. I pulled the wires from the S-video and re-soldered everything and it still did not work. I figured I fried the board. One last ditch effort I removed the TIA chip and re inserted it and it Worked!!!! Thanks for the tips and the screen shots. Crossbow your FB page also helped.

Ok thanks. I see it now. I am planing to do mine in the next day or so. This helps a lot since there is not a lot on the net that shows details like this.

So the instructions on the web site says to attached a 1uf capacitor for the sound output. Did you do this? If so where did you place it?[/size]

“The Coleco Chameleon is still alive and well by debuting the fully functional Coleco Chameleon Dev Kit at the annual Midwest Gaming Classic for the reasonable price of $12,000 US Dollars. Be the first (and only) one to develop new cartridge based games for the system. The kit includes a clear cased Chameleon complete with a fully functional DVR board, two Super Chameleon Controllers, the new Chameleon Remote control used to simulate the famous rest bug found at the Toy Fair in NY, and last but not least a fully operation Chameleon 30 inch LCD monitor. Hurry now before this one and ONLY dev kit is sold. The owners of the Chameleon say the cost should be enough to cover the price of the molds used to make the clear cases.” In all seriousness I did come across this mockup at the Midwest Gaming Classic. And at first I said, No way is this for real, are they really trying to sell a dev kit at the show. Then I saw the price and the words parody. Then I talked with the guy who put this all up and he said it was all for fun. I don’t post much but I could not resist.

Will be looking!

This is an old thread but I just purchased this variant off ebay it seems. It looks to be in good shape even though there is no manual so I jumped on it since it was 17.00 plus shipping....Its the same box as shown and comes with a cart with no label. At first I thought man I might have ordered a fake or reproduction but now that I found this thread maybe not or I just bought it from the OP...lol Maybe this variant never came with a manual? http://www.ebay.com/itm/201413455447?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I am working on a project that I hope will pan out soon. One of the topic is collecting the 9 launch titles. I am looking for anyone here who ever bought one of the original nine back in 77 or if anyone has completed that collection and the story of how you acquired them It would be great if you would PM me so I can elaborate what this project is about and hopefully some good stories for collection the launch titles....which will be shared in the near future.... Feel free to give stories here to share with Atariage! Looking forward to hearing some of your stories....

I would like to resurrect this thread and see some more votes!

The manual is is such great shape as well....

Yea it’s defiantly rare to find this game is such good condition. It’s almost like no one ever played it.
