Intellivision - Please help

Post by |B| »

Hi all, I just remembered my username and password, so, I'm back. Last night, I picked up an Intellivision 1 and an Intellivision II with the Intellivoice, 20 games, the overlays, and manuals. Now I have some work to do: composite video. I found a schematic for the INTV II, but is there a way to get composite video from an Intellivision 1? I like the 1st version a lot better for the look and controller (which I also have to repair the second controller due to broken wires). I've been searching for quite a while and didn't come up with anything. I just really don't like RF output. Any help is super-appreciated.

Thanks!
Brendan

This should work. (I haven't tried it; as my INTV is toast. Mmm toast...)

Oh, I don't know, maybe to put a screen on it that takes composite video, perchance? Just a guess.. :roll:

Thanks bicostp, but that's actually an INTV 2. The reason I would like composite video is that the picture is much sharper than RF which always gets extra noise crap. Also, I much prefer the Intellivision 1, because it's simply built much more nicely than the INTV 2. But if it's too hard or can't be done, no big deal, I can deal with it. (Also I got like 3 or 4 Coleco games with the bundle that don't work on INTV 2 without that momentary switch crap).

That link is for both models, you didn't read through it.

Haha- you're right! Thanks again. I'll probably just leave it alone other than having to repair the damn second controller which has snapped off. I'll just have to hook it up through my VCR.

I was thikning of doing that mod since my INTV refuses to show anything on my TV other than a very vague shadow in the "Snowstorm" when I turn it on. I don't know how but it seems that the RF module broke.
