    Default Spare Parts From Dead Systems?

    First, Mods, please move this to the appropriate area if needed.

    So, in my journeys, I seem to have collected a nice pile of broken systems. Being the well-rounded geek that I am, I began to wonder about the components in those machines, and what could be salvagable.

    My question is this; are there any lists of components used in the various systems?

    Intellivision 1s are good to collect dead. There are two boards (power supply and logic) and either one is likely to be bad. It's easy to cobble up a working one by swapping.

    Many of the 8-bit machines have socketed ICs too. Easy to remove before tossing.
