SlowCoder Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 One of the big gripes I hear about the IntV controllers, other than playing with them, is assembling them. I thought I'd share this video, in hopes that it will help someone ... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 :thumbsup: Awesome! I might now be brave enough to try opening the controllers on one of my dead INTVs. Are you going to do a full system disassembly and cleaning in the future....I would like see that too please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've already done a teardown of all my IntV's, so unless I get another console, probably not. (hint hint ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going to send a unit or two to pimpmaul for modding, maybe I will send you one or two to play around with as well. I did a count last night and I am slightly embarassed to say that I think I may have......75 Intellivisions. :-o (and somehow my wife hasnt divorced me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only four and she's sharpening pencils for signing. (of course, I recently brought home an Amiga 2000HD, Amiga 1200, Amiga 500, 3 Commodore 64's and drives, A Vic-20, 3 Timex Sinclair 1000's, TI-99, Commodore 4 Plus, A Socrates game system, and four large boxes of games, disks and misc ... that might be more the reason!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even worse is that I think 50 are CIB. I have a serious collecting disease. This is part of why the collection pics are taking so long to get done.

This is part of why the collection pics are taking so long to get done. Well, at least we know all those CIB IntVs are in good hands. It's obvious that you're main interest is the IntVs, but I see you pop your head into the CV forums sometimes, and I think I've even heard you mutter 2600 once or twice. How much space does your IntV collection take, and your other consoles? Oh, yeah, your wife IS a keeper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much space does your IntV collection take, and your other consoles? Oh, yeah, your wife IS a keeper! Yes, my wife is awesome, she basically just let my son and I take over our finished basement to fill up with video games and movies. She has a pretty good sense of humor to say the least. I do collect 2600, 7800 and CV as well. I have probably 300+ CIB 2600 games and am only missing Tank Command to complete my 7800 CIB collection. I have a pretty fair amount of CV stuff as well. I've been collecting for 13 years now I guess, so while I wait for INTV items to add to the collection I find I keep myself occupied with other consoles. I have made significant strides in cleaning up my collection space and I'll probably post proper collection pics on the next couple of months (as new stuff comes on, I find myself reorganizing). We can chat further in PM, but maybe I could send you a couple of less than perfect units for you to play around on as tutorial material for those of us that would like to learn about cleaning and fixing? I think many here would find that beneficial and informative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gezkc Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Really good video! If you do ever get around to making a video guide to taking apart and putting together a full console, I'll certainly be interested in it. I've got a dead intv that I'd like to get working, but haven't got a clue where to start with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A console disassembly video is possibly in the works through a partnership with another member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Dear god, no wonder why I dont find one in the wild anymore lol jk.... nice to see there are in good hands instead of a donk who wouldn't know the difference between a decle and a cookie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowCoder Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 In that case I must ask ... what's a decle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cparsley Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 the 10-bit command the INTV uses.... 16 bit bus but program commands are transferred/transmitted in to 10-bit instructions (aka decle)s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
