marc.teeters Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 I was at a lgs about 45 minutes from me and he had a broken intellivision and an untested 2600 with no power supply for $25. He said the intellivision refused to power on and had been returned so he left it on the shelf for a few years. I'm fairly certain it will be there in a few weeks when I'm driving back through there. Is this a decent price and how much can it cost to repair a broken unit? Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPUWIZ Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Not sure why that is funny, it is a pain in the ass to delete a bunch of duplicate threads all day, especially when some joker decides to reply to one that hasn't had a reply yet, then you have to start merging posts or someone else will have their panties in a bunch.

Sent from my LG-M153 using Tapatalk I don't know if $25 is a good deal or not for a broker intellivision but I see working ones fairly often in the $40 range. To me, it would be worth a little extra money to be sure that I was getting one that worked (unless you're good and enjoy repairing electronics). I think the Intellivision is an excellent system to collect for. There are plenty of good games that can be purchased at a low price, a few games that get a little pricey but are at least obtainable, and has a healthy homebrew scene. BTW - what's an lgs?

Unless the system is perfect looking I'd pass on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna guess it means "Local Gaming Store" but I could be dead wrong as I've not heard or used that abbreviation before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_me Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 (edited) The Intellivision power supply is repairable but you're taking a chance that it's the only thing wrong. You can find the service manual and other information here. https://console5.com/wiki/Intellivision As others have said, unless you're prepared to repair it yourself you should look for a working one.

marc.teeters Posted September 9, 2017 Author Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yes , local game store, honestly not sure where i picked that up. I had not seen one in my town but I know I can pick one up in Columbus which is about 2 hours from me and I'm thinking the shop up there wanted 50 or 60 dollars for tested ones. Maybe if they set another couple years I can pick them both up for 15 or 20. I just wanted the 2600 to mod since I already have a 7800 and a je.
