+LS650 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I have an original 2609 in very good shape - except for a small but very noticeable dent in the forward metallic faceplate decal. Is there someone who makes replacement faceplate decals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+fdr4prez Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Interesting. I've not heard of replacement face plates around here. Maybe a trophy shop? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+LS650 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I took a photo so you can see what I'm talking about. It's a minor annoyance, as in every other way this Inty is in excellent shape. Edited March 25, 2016 by ls650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterZero Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I imagine it would be tricky to peel off the plate without damaging it due to the raised bevel otherwise I would suggest peeling it off and pushing it out from behind. I haven't tried. Anyone done this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 I imagine it would be tricky to peel off the plate without damaging it due to the raised bevel otherwise I would suggest peeling it off and pushing it out from behind. I haven't tried. Anyone done this? I have one that's coming undone. It's built very much like a Vectrex controller sticker - and anyone who's repaired those knows the drill. Use a hair dryer to soften the glue and it'll come right off. Just need to CAREFULLY start prying on one of the short edges with a thin blade, making sure you don't put a bend in the metal plate as you go. That's really the tricky part - you don't want to add another crease to the thing! With patience, it's pretty straightforward. Fix the dent, re-apply some glue, and press it down. Should be fairly simple, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Why did you post the auction Both Intellivisions have the same dent...and it had a cool custom box. Edited March 25, 2016 by JasonlikesINTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeJunker Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Both Intellivisions have the same dent...and it had a cool custom box. Looking at my opened unit it looks like there is a mold injection point under that spot at least on the inside or at least a bump for some reason, can't tell if there is supposed to be a recess under the plate without removing it. If it always has a dip it would dent like that easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byte Knight Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 pboland has made some cool CV FB faceplates. Maybe he'd do a run of 10 or so Intellivision faceplates if there was demand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HunterZero Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If someone made sets of repro printed faceplates and disk controller inserts, I am sure there would be a market for them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 The INTV System III had poorly glued faceplates leading to the glut of loose and dented ones in the current market. They are essentially the River Raid Overlays of console faceplates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zander21510 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 I think I'd buy. Mine is all scratched up and dented, and I haven't found one in very good shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroACTIVE Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I was just cleaning and re-furbing an Intellivision system and thought... boy would it be nice if there was a replacement for these gold inserts. Every single unit I've come across has one or two dings or the crater problem. Having replacement decal inserts would really make it possible to shine up so many old units. Maybe someday. I wish I knew how or had the capacity repro these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterZero Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Found out that you can get inkjet printable aluminium sheets. If you can get these in a brushed finish, then clearcoat with a clear yellow, you'd get something pretty close. They are very thin though. https://alumajet.com - James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLic0ne t0aD Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'd definitely be in for a few sets of these if this ever came to light. I wonder if AA user Crazy Climber could whip up something like this.. Hmm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there someone who makes replacement faceplate decals? I posted this back in 2016, and it seems like it gathered some interest, but nothing ever came of it. I still have the same 2609, and it still has the same dent. Anyone have a recent fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
