+Rick Reynolds Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Anyone know what's going on with these disc replacements (or whatever) on this Intellivision? https://www.ebay.com/itm/314059011061?mkevt=1&mkpid=0&emsid=e11021.m43.l3160&mkcid=7&ch=osgood&euid=0cdeabe2e0184781b4d64abc9b41afe4&bu=43208301158&ut=RU&osub=-1~1&crd=20220703032657&segname=11021 They seem to be on springs or something? Kind of above the plane of the controller where I would expect them to be if they were disc replacements? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they are just wrongly installed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Ok, I stumbled upon a marketplace listing in my own town. Unfortunately, I was out of town for the weekend and had to trust that they wouldn’t sell it before I got home. Just got back and made the pickup. Should be interesting to test it out when I get a chance. Here are some pics. Learning Fun, Triple Challenge, and Thin Ice more than covers what I paid for it. But what I’m more interested in is the unit…. Not positive about Tutorvision status, but I think it’s promising. You can see circuit boards through the bottom vent and toward the bottom there is a large capacitor with writing on it but I cant quite tell what. Unfortunately no SN label unless it’s somewhere in the case. I will pass on findings when I get a chance to try it out. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) It's hard to tell from the photo but if you see a large capacitor through the central vent, it's likely a tutorvision board; exec to be determined.

The large Capacitor is visible... so it doesnt have shielding. My guess is an INTV88 board. Sweet Grab Bill! Congrats. Make sure you let us know your findings.

+Rick Reynolds Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 My poor Cuttle Cart 3 still has no box, and I've never actually physically seen a Wico Command Control for Intellivision. Seen the Colecovision version before, but not Intellivision. Alas, ~$900 is way more than I can spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes some getting used to. You should buy it for the CC3 box Rick. Then sell the cuttle cart and Wico controller. I think you could get $100-$150 for the cart & about $300-$400 for the Wico.

I would probably sell the cuttle cart, but I'd be way to tempted to keep the Wico. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinjinhawke Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I have one of those Wico for Intellivision. Unfortunately it does not work well. Needs more work than my opening and wiping it with 99% alcohol could fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Few months ago it has been sold a Cuttle Cart on Ebay at 375 bucks… The box is available on Etsy at 15 bucks, plus shipping from Germany… https://www.etsy.com/fr/listing/889810610/cuttle-cart-3-boite-pour-le-jeu-mattel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has alot of other great boxes in his etsy store now too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Lathe26 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I wrote the "Missing Manual" for the Wico Command Control, for those that are curious https://atariage.com/forums/topic/221762-the-missing-manual-for-the-wico-command-control/ That said, I feel the Wico is the worst controller for the Intellivision (have a couple). The side buttons are massively stiff, the numerical keypad buttons sometimes jam briefly, and the joystick springs are stiff. I felt like I was playing with a brick.
