I have a Intellivison that just does not work. It came out of storage recently and just won't turn on or something. When it is hooked up and you turn on the console NOTHING happens. I tried to clean the games with no luck.

Will pay you with beer, sex, or money.

check the voltage output of the AC to DC transformer.


has the unit been sitting in a damp basement or anything like that?

Oh god. I remember my Intellivision. Amazing times. Good luck getting it to work!

My AC to DC converter was fried, I ended up using an old toy train transformer as a power supply.

you could probably download every intellivision rom ever made with an emulator in about 5mb lol

emulators are cool but I like owning the real deal.
