Haha yes I heard that on many episodes. But yet he doesn’t enter any scores either. Bummer! ?

The Wren Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Hi all, So recently I had the pleasure to deal with a couple of folks from AA in rebuilding my Intellivision collection from when I was a kid. Like a lot of us in here Intellivision was my first console growing up and with the growing buzz to @Tommy Tallarico 's Amico coming in 2021 I wanted to see if I could find these games NIB and with the help of the 2 I'm about to mention I'm almost there First of all is Luc who goes by @Kamikazi26 in here. Luc runs a website called www.intellivisioncollector.com . There you can find tones of stuff from NIB, CIB, to homebrews. Luc responds quickly to messages and is a treat to deal with. Then there is Hank who goes by @Humblejack . Hank sells privately and took the time to educate me on all sorts of things regarding the different types and variants of Intellivision releases over the years. Hank has a comprehensive list of games he has both NIB and CIB. The quality I've gotten from both of these fine gents is fantastic but in the video I'm linking below I show Atlantis (old Imagic game) which is in stellar condition which came from Hank. I've seen many copies of this on Ebay and they are always creased or ripped...this thing looked like it was off the shelf from 1980 and time travelled to my hands. I can gush it was my favourite game Thanks a bunch to Luc and Hank for their help...I'm almost there I'm still looking for NIB He-man, Math Fun, and Tutankham if anyone has any leads. Cheers all The Wren 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 This is the Super Video Arcade I picked up today from a nice lady selling her kids old stuff. Came with a boxed Intellivoice and two boxed games. It does have a display issue as described in a post I created in the main forum. The lady will return my money but it’s so pretty I don’t want to return it. I think it should be saved. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be in a hurry to return it, the box alone would have many collectors drooling over it I expect. The console itself also looks amazing. I picked up one off eBay a few months ago and while it works great it is a rather unfortunate 'nicotine yellow' now, which seems is a common problem with this model of console as result of exposure to sunlight reacting with the plastic. So it is also desirable in that the moulding is (or at least appears) to still be the original tan coloring. It probably would be well worth keeping and seeing if the video issue can be repaired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I couldn't take it back. I want to get a look at the board and order chips to replace the possibly defective ones. I did recently desolder 8 bad DRAM chips in my Atari 130xe and replaced them with sockets and some new RAM. The computer works but the job I did looks quite poor. I broke a capacitor in the process so had to replace that. If the job looks simple enough I might do it or just buy the part(s) and get a qualified technician to do it for me. Such a nice looking console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what you do. Unless you are completely against swapping out parts and making it "unoriginal", buy a working 2609 that's not in the best shape. You can then swap out the EXEC chip of the 2609 with the Sears board, put it all back together with the working INTV board and Sears EXEC plugged in... and have a bunch of good working spares to boot. This is how I built two of my Sears units that came to me looking as good as your, but didn't work. To find one in the condition that one is in, with the box is very rare. Up to you, but other than the EXEC chip, and the controller extenders, the two units are the same guts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I am going to try swapping out some of the socketed chips this week with the non working Intellivision I have. I got the top RF shield off the Sears exposing the motherboard. So much solder on every single tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need it, I have a spare Sears board I can sell you. The case was badly yellowed so I tried to paint it. Looks terrible, but from what I remember it worked good. I'll run it up on my bench and make sure it works good. If you're interested, let me know. I'll send you all the guys as well so you'll have spares if you need them. PM if you need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have removed two of the RAM chips and put in sockets. I will remove the other two this week and add sockets. Hopefully once the new RAM arrives I can just pop them in and be good to go. If not I will send a message. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I snagged it on eBay BIN beginning of December. It got held up for 5 days in Indy and another 8 days in Detroit before finally getting here. I haven’t seen another for a while myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
