Definitely worth it - unless you have a Sprint then perhaps less so :lol:

Been some progress I thought worth reporting. I fitted the Yannick RGB-video mod board, which @grobda sold to me a some months back. The results are really quite stunning, best video quality I’ve ever seen on an Intellivision and I can happily use my first-choice TV too. This should really be the go-to video mod for the Radofin PAL Intellivision in my opinion!

A few pics.

Along with grobda's screenshots, I found Intellivision trace map to be really helpful for identifying / confirming the video and audio inputs for the RGB board.

I used the BBC Micro / Electron RGB SCART + audio cable (modified slightly by Cool Novelties to fit the console's new 8-pin DIN socket). The socket comes from AliExpress. It needs a little modification to fit and firm into place.

And a sample result photo! I've got a spare composite video mod board if anyone wants one ;)

Nice result it looks like a decent picture for sure.

I have been playing around with RGB2HDMI a lot of late and I see it can be hooked up to the Intellivision, so I may just give it a try:)
