    Default Sears Super Video Arcade (1979 and 1981 )

    I got 2 of these Sears Super Video Arcade systems at the local game store today. I was told he didnt test them, noone wanted them and they were just sitting in the back room I traded in some common 2600 games and a few manuals long with a few other items and he said you wanna just take these units and stuff. Came with NFL and MLB baseball. One is dated Hong Kong 1979 the other is Hong Kong 1981. Very cool Intellivision systems. Here is a picture of the 1979 unit that I will be keeping and adding to my personal collection. Strangely I have a complete in box Tandyvision and now a loose Sears Video Arcade but no "official" Mattel Intellivison system yet. I like that these were "free" and allowed me to clear out a bunch of common stuff that didnt sell at NAVA and really wasnt worth listing on eBay.

    Current Collection Stats As Of 12/10/2013 : Cartridges - 206 ( 182 unique titles 24 label variations ) : Cassettes - 21 :

    Currently in the market for :

    + Atari 8 bit game cartridges ( all brands and most titles )
    + Atari 8 Bit Prototype and Demo cartridges
    + Atari 8 bit manuals and boxes

    PM me if you see anything above that you have doubles or interest in getting rid of.

    That's a very odd looking case, I thought the original was all off-white colored. It's not painted, is it?

    It has not been repainted but both look like off white colored cases to me. They clean up nicely and with little work. One of the more strange looking systems that I wasnt even aware existed.

    I think it's the lighting that is yellowing the whites of the casing in the picture.

    Actually, it's the table it's sitting on. For some reason I thought that was part of the unit, which threw me off since I'd never seen one that large before.
