jmjustin6 Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 It took some doing, but here it is working! Woo! First off couldn't gwt it to work on the HDTV. Kept giving me a really shaky fuzzy screen. So i went to the old school CRT. Still with the shaky screen. So i let it sit and then it showed some text, but wasnt centered and still shaky. Then it centered and stopped shaking. It started out being red then it changed to blue. Not sure if thats normal. Im guessing it hadn't been turned on in years, but here it is now.

RickR Posted September 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 The little box on the RF wire is the culprit JMJ. It fails in most VIC-20's that I've seen. Luckily, replacing it with a composite cable is a pretty cheap alternative. And the picture quality will be better.

jmjustin6 Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Todays Craigslist find was this baby pacman acade face/bezel.

He said nobody was messaging him so he stopped looking at it then he sees my messages and lets me get it for $20 Ive never owned one of these before so is there supposed to be any sound? nosweargamer, RickR, Ballblaɀer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 I bought this lot mostly for the kids controller and the three kids games. Lo and behold, there were overlays in the mix too. Fantastic! It's all very dusty, and no power adapter. But I did try out the 2600 and it works just fine. Just needs to be cleaned up well. nosweargamer and Ballblaɀer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 Today, I bought a couple of bags of Atari 2600 stuff. 2 4 switch systems, some joysticks, and about 25 games. And lo and behold, I found some unexpected GOLD in there! TWO more Combat carts. That throne made out of Combat carts is getting closer to reality. Kung-Fu Master for 7800. I thought it was the 2600 version, which would have been cool enough...but was surprised to find it was the 7800 version! SWEET! jmjustin6, nosweargamer and Ballblaɀer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is possible they aren't hooking it up correctly. Bad power supply (internal) is a usual cause of Intellivision issues.

jmjustin6 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Not Craigslist, but found this on the letgo app. Just picked it up works great. I bought it from the original owner. He said he doesnt collect games, but he remembered waking up Christmas day to this thing. I do now need the inserts for this box if anyone has any leads that would be great. Also game recommendations. Edited June 2, 2017 by jmjustin6 Sabertooth, Starbuck66, RickR and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
