IntellivisionGuy97 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I am just really bored right now, and I am just curious how many of us here own or know someone that owns a Keyboard Component. It is one of my life goals to get one. And if anyone is selling, I will gladly pay you $100 for one! (just kidding lol) The more I think about the Keyboard Component, the more I want it. And right now, I want it really badly. It was pretty neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I hope you have a few thousand saved up, and that is if one will show up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionGuy97 Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 I had better save up at least $10,000. Those can get really expesive. And I want a working Keyboard Component, not one with a broken tape drive or something. Also I would want any software if possible. Luckily, I can start saving next summer hopefully, because I might get my first job. I'll bet one will pop up eventually. Even if it takes a year or 2, one will come up.

IntellivisionGuy97 Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Anyone an owner or know anyone besides Alex Pace (The amazing)? I am just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Here's some pics you might appreciate. and no, I don't own one. I believe Alex might be the only one on AA that has one besides the poster from the thread not too long ago who was asking about the value of these. I'm not convinced I would spend that kind of cash on one of these....never say never I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I didn't realize you had one Makke, that's awesome! Where/when did you get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makke Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 I didn't realize you had one Makke, that's awesome! Where/when did you get it? i bought it from an american guy, but was not working...Now it's perfect, thanks to the kindly help of Alex, Joe Zbiciak and a good friend of mine with the hobby of restoring the old computers. I paid for it the same sum of money than Spiker , now i have a working computer keyboard with box and manuals...Yes, it was a dream of my "youth", now it's the nightmare of my wife 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Wow, that's a great price! Awesome that Joe and Alex and your buddy were able to get it restored. Congrats! I think it's getting to be time for you to do "post your collection" pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Is there any tutorial or way to make a repro. of this accessory? Sorta like the recycled gamer's Vectrex lightpens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionGuy97 Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 @cmart - :DDDDDDDD Is that Alex's, or whose is it? That is nice! @makke - So it was repaired? Was it the tape drive? I heard that is hard to fix. Can you post some pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 @IG97 - Not sure if the KC and games are Alex's. I bought a large lot of stuff from Roger(Psychostormtrooper) as he was clearing out all the rest of his remaining INTV stuff and the lot included 7 or 8 CD/DVD's of images, and I found these pics on there. I'm not sure what show these were taken at or when it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard that is hard to fix. Can you post some pictures? The KC is perfect now, was a little connection problem (frankly, i gave my KC in the hands of my friend and i have only prayed in a dark corner of my house...), the tape is in really good shape! I'll post some pics soon...When that dark corner will be finally ready to host my collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionGuy97 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 Oh, just a connection problem? I'm glad it got fixed. The biggest problem with the Keyboard Component is the tape drive. I can't wait to see the pictures! And remember, if you're selling, I would gladly make an offer for it. (just kidding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntellivisionGuy97 Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 @cmart - It is Alex's. I took a closer look at his collection, and the crosswords looks sealed like on his collection, and I notice that prototype tape sitting in front of Crosswords 3. Plus Alex says he is the only known person to own the French cassette. And in the middle, I see the 2 demonstration tapes and I think the other prototype tapes that he has. If you would like to see his entire collection, look here - http://www.gamescollection.it/collections/A/138 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Yah, I think you're right, good eyes! It would be nice if Alex could come on here and confirm it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
