Help with an Intellivision II

[Humblejack]

Any idea what's wrong and/or what I need to replace?

 

Pay no attention to the QC sticker on the large capacitor or the chips, I am not trying to start a new subsets for collection!

I can't speak for your issue (exactly), but for my Inty 2 I got some 1000 grit sandpaper and cleaned the RCA jack port (both outside and inside) for where the cable would make contact.  

 

It looks a bit crusty:

 

I also cleaned up my RCA cable coming out of my 2600 by scrubbing on the male end.

 

It did wonders for my images.

I bought a non-working intellivision recently.  I sprayed some de-oxit into the RF port and blammo, it was working so the above suggestion may be the fix.

I would say... "Is it hooked up to a black&white tv Hankster?".. but i dont think you'd make that mistake... lol

Couple of ideas... your Intelly 2 actually has the variable capacitor on it just above the color IC chip. Could be that the clock freq is slightly out of spec and that should be checked/adjusted to where it needs to be. Could also just be that the RF modulator might need to be adjusted? There are two inductors on the intelly modulator. I don't have the pic in front of me right now, but one is for audio and the other is for the video. 

 

Put the 201 v4 test cart rom on it to see if shows any issues?
