+Steve Jones Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Keyboard Component Owners Manual (Flat Scanned).pdf Thermal Printer Ad (Front).pdf Thermal Printer Ad (Back).pdf So I recently did a small trade with Colormesticky, who works for Intellivision productions, and among a few bonus items she threw in a usb key that had several pdfs on it, one is slightly too large to post here but these ones are small enough, it's a high resolution scan of the Owners Manual that came with the original Keyboard Component, and the ad for the thermal printer. She said it would be ok to share it here, this is the backstory: "So this is a professional scan I had done of one of the Keyboard Component manuals that belongs to Intellivision Productions (that currently live with Paul Nurminen, aka nurmix). I figure if they're ever reprinted they'll have an updated copyright date, where this is an exact copy. If you had this professionally printed you'd have the "closest thing to the real thing". I actually had two printed, one for me and one for Paul since he doesn't get to keep the real ones. The thermal printer ad was in one of the KC boxes. The paper is heavy and glossy, almost a really thin posterboard. Thicker than regular catalog paper. It was also DYED a cream color, not age yellowed. The printer I went to just did mine on his heaviest white paper because he didn't even know where you could get that stuff anynmore." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Awesome! Thanks for sharing. ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Wow, I've never seen these before! Has the KBC manual ever been posted publicly? Lots of interesting stuff in there that I didn't know about - like the dual volume controls. And the included microphone! Was it Mattel branded at all?

mr_me Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Scans of the KC Owners Book can be found at the usual places with Intellivision scans for download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colormesticky Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 To be fair, "works for" might be a bit of a stretch. I do still help them out with small stuff, though. I vaguely remember finding the manual online before, probably on that great Portuguese site, but I really wanted a high quality scan of it. That was maybe last year-ish? I got the okay to borrow it from Keith, and he did give me permission to share it at the time. I was still a full time lurker here and hadn't jumped in though, so yeah. Sorry to hold out on ya. And I got my box today, Steve. Thank you so much! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can give us the insider scoop on IP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colormesticky Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I did! I was on the Word Fun episode, long before I started helping out. I think I should leave spilling inside info to people who are actually involved in more than unpacking and sorting things onto shelves for two hours a week.

Quite frankly, I think it'd be a cool interview anyway. Maybe you covered this sort of thing before, but I'm honestly not even sure what actually happens at IP these days. What kind of "things"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colormesticky Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 So, so many tee shirts from before they discovered the joys of print-on-demand. Honestly though, duplicate things will end up being sold in the store over time (like at Christmas and with Sears Baseball), and the rest isn't even Intellivision related. I dunno why there's an Xbox 360 and a lamp that looks like a martini and a neon beer sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, this is the magic I want to hear about I'm waaaay behind on Intellivisionaries episodes, but I'll have to skip ahead to the Word Fun one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-crew Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 @colormesticky, Could their be a stash of Flashback controllers lying around somewhere.. or maybe a new batch coming from the next intellivision flashback release? (here's hoping for that to happen) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colormesticky Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Afraid not, at least with the current Flashback. It hasn't been brought up yet for gen 2, but when the time comes I know they'll try to. They sold too well not to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
