Rebranded Master Component rarity?

Recommended Posts

I'm thinking about getting a "non-mattel" Intellivision. Being in Europe I haven't much clues about the rarity and value of the rebranded versions. I guess the Sears version is the most common, and the Sylvania and Tandy are the rarest.

I'm not interested to get an Intelli II or an INTV model, unless those are specific in a way I never heard of.

 

So do you have infos, pictures and the like about those models? An average price for a loose working unit withou games would be nice, too ;)

The Super Pro System I think is pretty rare though not as much as the Sylvania. I think only the "branding" is different from the Super Pro and INTV 3. The Digiplay systems from Brazil are rare and so too are the Bandi from Japan.

Thanks.

 

I doubt I'll find a Bandai version, also I'd prefer an US version.

Do you ahve more infos?

The Sears version might be more common but it's the one often preferred for keeping as a playing unit because of the detachable controllers. This one is also unique because it has a chip that blocks out the "Mattel Electronics" presents on the game screen. This unit usually goes for $40 - $50.

 

The Sylvania is definitely the rarest one to get, it's pretty much exactly like the original version but of course with the Sylvania branding. Finding a boxed one is very difficult, have only seen maybe one boxed in the last 12 - 16 months. You should expect to pay between $50 - $75 for a working one.

 

Tandyvision is exactly like the original one with the Radio Shack branding. Same price as the Sears version I would say.

 

You can find descriptive information on all the versions here:
