Matell Intellivision Help!!! Update!! stil need help but got further!!!

[mizuhime]

Hello Everyone I was out today and found a Intellivision console with 18 games and almost all of the manuals all in a video game organizers.

1.     First I want to ask was this a good deal I paid 30.00 USD for this.
2.     it had all of the cords except the the audio and video output and I am unsure what it uses. Can I use something from the NES,SNES or cable to get it to work as I know the power comes on.
3.    Any clue on where I can find a replacement cord and the exact name to look for on ebay.

Thanks.

1: If you are happy the deal is good. I think it's good anyway...
2: Assuming they are just the normal yellow and red RCA connectors you can safely use any RCA cable. If it's just single brown that combines audio/video to one connection you can use NES rf adapter or RCA to rf cable to hook it to you antenna input of your analogue tv. show pivcture of the connection and we can help more.

well I have a small update and I still trying to ge the picture uploaded just my wifi is ti slow to upload but thats another story.

well while trying to get it to work I got frogger to work 3 times but each time it had a very fuzzy screen and other games either get a fuzzy black screen, green fuzzy or a weird pink fuzzy screen any clue as to what can be causing this. I tried to crack it open and I have never worked on one before but I have on my snes,nes,ps2 slim and fat model and from what I can tell it looks kind of nice and not to dusty.

Any ideas anyone.

I got five games workingish  and there are all fuzzy and lound but I am using a flat screen so that could be the issue but how should I clean the games and cartridge slot?

Best I remember the INT uses an RF connection (unless there is an AV mod on it).
You will need to use an RCA to Coax cable, plug it into the TV antenna (coax port) and tune the TV to chnl 3 or 4 (analog). The NES RC adapter might work, but it is not a sure shot.

Something like this should do the job.

Thanks it workish just super blurry so I wonder if it just the flat screen

I doubt it is the tv. You may need to add a Ferrite Choke to the line to the tv to remove some interference in the signal or there my be a voltage regulator or capacitor that needs replacing.  I had to do a full recap on my front loader NES not too long ago and I replaced the voltage regulator while I was at it. I use to have the wavy vertical lines everywhere but now it looks great!
