I received my music synthesizer today in the post. It has a relatively low serial number: PS 000743. I thought I was drunk trying to read it. I added it and my ECS and Intellivoice to the database today.

Hi, folks. I haven't had much luck locally, so I thought it may not hurt to ask here. Does anybody have an extra controller insert for Dracula that they wouldn't mind giving up? My otherwise nice copy of the game is short by one. If anybody could help me out, I'd appreciate it. I'd be happy to send some money by PayPal for cost and post to Canada. Thanks, eh?

Regarding 2114 GRAM chips: Are there limitations to what chips will work? For example, would these ones work? http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEC-2114-1024-x-4-1k-x-4-static-ram-2-pieces-/301654023499?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item463bfb1d4b I haven't played with ICs for at least two decades. I'm a bit rusty at this. Thanks, eh!

OK, an update. I pulled the board and had a close look at it. I cannot see anything obviously wrong with it. All the solders look good on both sides. I cleaned it up and nothing has changed. <sigh>

I`ll take number 84, please. Thanks. Looking forward to it. (So is my sister.)

Thanks for the information intvnut. I'll pull the board from the console entirely and have a look at the backside. I didn't see anything on the front, but I didn't pull it to examine the back yet. Again, thanks.

Thanks, eh? I'll have to see what I can unearth. I have an original Intellivision too which works well, so I'm not without a working console.

Where might one purchase replacement chips?

I opened it up a bit ago and had a look inside. It's a remarkably clean interior which is nice. I found a maintenance manual for the Intellivision II and had a look at the GRAM and related chips. All the solders look good. I couldn't see any breaks or obvious shorts on the top side. I haven't pulled out the board to check the bottom yet though. I tried reseating the socketed chips although I don't have an extractor handy to pull them and reset them. I have one somewhere, but I haven't used it since my Amiga upgrade days. I turned it back on and still have issues.

I have an Intellivision II here that seems to be having problems with its graphics. See the attached photos. Does anybody know if this is repairable? The previous owner had a 22V AC power supply hooked up to it. Might that be the cause? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

I had to collect my jaw from the floor when I saw that one.

I received Boulder Dash today and must say that it's excellent. Nice work. It plays great. My sister and I played the C64 version in about 1985 or so. Thank you. I'll admit that I'm used to the C64 scrolling and I'm quickly getting used to how this one works. Either method works for me.
