Despite a few mistakes that I've definitely learned from, the task of getting and modding an Atari 2600 worked out very well, and now I'm thinking of moving on with the next logical step.
There are certainly resources out there regarding the Intellivision, but I thought I'd get some feedback here anyway, because I got a lot of good and useful advice with the 2600 from before.
I'm leaning towards the Intellivision II, because it is small enough to fit where I would want it to go, it has replaceable parts (controllers and power supply), and the original models are probably too old to be very reliable. I'm not adverse to the INTV system, but that's the kind of thing I'd need feedback on.
Unlike with the Atari, I haven't seen any online stores that seem to have Intellivision systems currently in stock. Is eBay my only real choice here?
What is a typical price for these systems? I've seen some startling variations in price.
There seems to be one composite video mod out there for the system:

I'm taking it for granted this isn't too difficult to make and install? I managed the 2600 one alright, and it looks great on the LCD TV I'm using.
With regards to the Intellivision II, there doesn't seem to be a stock of controllers and power supplies out there. I've heard that the power supply from a model 1 Genesis will work? Have there been any controller solutions available for the system?
Anything else I should know and look out for? Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
