Alex.Pace Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 So i got that super pro system which is possibly a "tutorvision" console. The problem is that: it has of course U.S. power supply cable it has not tv cable. I am concerned about the first one, what exactly i should do to get a power supply adaptor working in europe, without damaging the console? i know that there are voltage issues, due to differences in the 2 continents. About the tv cable, should a normal pal tv cable work? Can you help me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spadafermo51 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Hi Alex, for the power supply you must use a 220 v to 125 v current transformer. To connect to the TV you can use any console cable, but you must have a TV that is multistandard and also has the NTSC system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_me Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 120 volt to be more accurate. You'll need an NTSC tuner (channel 3 or 4) not just a TV that accepts NTSC composite video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Lathe26 Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Whether you use RF or Composite (ex: the above RF Tuner), the TV will need to be able to accept NTSC signals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With composite he would get at least a black/white picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Maybe it's safer if Alex just sends it back to North America for safekeeping here with me. ?? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Hi Alex, did you found something by now? I found this in a German retro store: https://www.polyplay.xyz/PALNTSC-Mini-TV-System-Konverter-weiss It converts every TV signal in any direction. PAL to NTSC, SECAM to PAL and so on... I ordered one and will test it on one of my Intellivision 2 (where I can easily can replace the power plug) without AV mod. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very interested in such device. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I already got this converter. It is a partial success. I assumed it would convert the RF (antenna) signal. But instead it is for CVBS signals. So you need a modded Intellivision. But it helps with older TVs that can't handle the NTSC CVBS signal like old Commodore monitors. Without the converter, the picture is b/w, With it, it's in color.

CrazyBoss Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I use a NTSC USA Console in Sweden, I use a stepdown converter, but i never found a tv that could make the right picture, even modern tvs that i could scan in NTSC mode. So I modified the Console with Composite output. And then it works good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
