  1. I actually did just email you about the mount boards. Sure thing; sent
  2. Thank you for the help! I'm excited to have an all-in-one unit. Yes, an STL file is for 3D printing.
  3. Thanks for clarifying. I DID remove the RF modulator; so I think I'll go with the factory-installed switch.
  4. Hi, I just spend the better part of my evening working to install Crayola's Orange Peel RGB mod in my original Intellivision. In the ebay listing; it mentions that one may use the channel select switch to change palettes... Would this just take the form of disconnecting the traces from the switch, and running wires to the mod board? Or are there any additional steps/precautions I need to do/take? Also, my power button cover went missing at some point. Is there an available STL file which I can print out? Thanks!
  5. Sure thing! It might be a week from now, once I finally have it installed.
  6. I actually did leave the main board disconnected; I didn't even consider that.
  7. Actually, the switch was the issue. After putting it back together; it plays just fine. Though, the RF Modulator is failing (I ordered Crayola's board). Thank you guys for all the help. I'm excited to finally have a working Intellivision again!
  8. Thank you for your advice about the power switch. I opened and cleaned it; then re-tested the transformer (it works!). However, I also tested the connector on the power supply, which goes to the motherboard; the center pin shows 23VDC, instead of 16 :/ I will be praying for you and your wife-- life sucks sometimes...
  9. Hi everyone, I just created this account to ask about a specific issue (I've been lurking for a bit). The threads here have been very helpful to me; so I am excited to actually join this community. Background: I have been trying to get my old Intellivision back into working condition (it randomly stopped working about a decade ago-- not outputting video). I replaced the transistor pair that seem to be a common point of failure (burn marks were present)-- that did nothing. I realized the ribbon cable was disintegrating; so I soldered part of an IDE cable onto the main board; and I am now currently awaiting some female machine headers to complete the cable replacement. Today, I decided to check the transformer's voltage. So I unplugged it from the power supply board, and plugged it into an outlet with the power switch on. Upon testing the AC voltage, the readings are much lower than what is listed here. The issue: After finding out that my transformer is shot; I tried searching for a replacement part on ebay, Amazon, and iFixit-- none of them returned any results. Where can I find an adequate replacement transformer? Should I be looking for a broken system to cannibalize, or is there a compatible generic component? OR, is there a completed drop-in replacement similar to what is discussed here? Also, full disclosure: I am a bit of a beginner with soldering/using a multimeter; so the whole point of this project is to give myself a bit of experience-- therefore I might have made some mistakes along the way. Thank you for the help.
