Intellivision Reset Button

[fred]

I’m looking for an Intellivision reset button. Maybe someone out there has a broken Intellivision they can part out?

Is this for a model 1 intellivision?

 

Are you talking about the plastic button itself or the dome switch not working on the bottom of the mainboard?

I have the actual plastic button, if that is what you are after?

[fred]

Sorry for not being clear. It is for the Model 1 and I need the plastic button, but come to think of it, I’m not sure how it attaches, so maybe any other reset button associated hardware? ? 

 

Here is a picture of my problem:

So the power button comes right off, but the reset button does not (I was not aware of this until I tried to pull it off). Let me open the console and see if I can remove it easily. It's a dead console, so no harm done.

Wow, thanks! I appreciate it.

Ok, i was able to remove the reset button. I had to take the top portion off because there was a metal "washer" of sorts that was keeping the button from coming off. The washer broke when I removed it, but I think you can fashion something that will serve the same purpose, OR just put the button in the hole and don't worry about it. It won't come out easily. here is a pic. let me know if you still want it.

That is awesome, that will work. The system it’s for is boxed. It would be a shame to not have it complete and working. 
 

I’ll pm you.
