m-crew Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) Thanks ,a nice addition to the video. !! Here's a thought how about an Intellivision how to or maintenance Sub Forum like the HSC and Programming sections. It would be a great addition and help make things easier to find when needed..

freewheel Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Thanks for the suggestion. That was it – continuity problem on the red and black wires. I swapped in a replacement cord, and the controller works like a champ. Since there don't seem to be any diagrams or photos of these parts on the forum or the rest of the internet, I put together something to help the next person who needs to track down a fault. Intv-II-controller-wires.jpg Intv-II-controller-plug.jpg Sonofa... so the wiring order is different between the INTV1/Sears and INTV2. Sigh. Guess this is why we can't have nice things. mr_me's wire coloring for Sears is exactly the same as what I have for the INTV1, so at least that's consistent. I wonder why they changed the colors for the 2. And if they used different cords by the time the III/SuperPro/Tutorvision came around. Edit: I just realized that this means the matrix itself is pinned differently on the 2. Yeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call it "Intellivision Troubleshooting and Repair". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mthompson Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) While servicing another Intv II controller today, I discovered an error in the two diagrams I posted yesterday. I had been working on a wiring harness with intermittent connection problems on the red and black wires, and in my old diagram I put them in each other's spots. Today's harness worked fine, so now I'm sure I've got them right. I can't edit yesterday's post, but can the moderator remove post #23 for us? I've sent Albert a PM. I'm really sorry if this messes anyone up. Here are the revised diagrams for the INTV II controller wiring: Edited January 27, 2018 by mthompson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 hhmmmm , how does one make it so? Anyone know? Do we ask Albert? We've definitely had more than enough "how do I fix X" threads over the years. Especially as these consoles continue to age... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
