Hello to all,
I am new to this site. I could use a little help. I just scored a Commodore Vic-20 with the following software:
“Start Programming with Gortek and the Microchips” includes 16k memory expansion cartridge & cassettes
“VIC Typewriter Word Processor with Typing Tutor” on cassette
“Paratrooper by Nic Dudzik” on cassette
“Personal Finance 1” on cassette
“An Introduction to Basic: Part 1” on cassette
“Expense Calendar (Part 1)” on cassette
“Typing Tutor for the Vic20” on cassette
“Personal Finance II” on cassette
“Adventure Pack II” on cassette
“Home Inventory” on cassette
“Loan Mortgage Calculator” on cassette
“River Rescue” game cartridge
“Choplifter” game cartridge
“Shamus” game cartridge
“Apple Panic” game cartridge
“Cosmic Cruncher” game cartridge
“SUPERSMASH” game cartridge
“Tooth Invaders” game cartridge
“Pirate Cove” game cartridge
“Gorf” game cartridge
“The Count” game cartridge
“Radar Ratrace” game cartridge
“Omega Race” game cartridge
“Adventure Land” game cartridge
“Clowns” game cartridge
The Vic-20 did not come with the cassette player, any kind of monitor or joystick. In appearance the Vic-20 itself looks nearly new. The plastic is not discolored at all. It even has the original keyboard cover in mint shape.
I spent about well over an hour trying to get a picture on my cable ready TV without luck. The LED illuminates on the Vic-20 but no picture. I am trying to go in through a TV input port on my VCR not sure if that should matter. The instructions say to connect the RF modulator box to the 2 VHF antenna leads on the back of the TV. I don’t have the proper connector to go directly into the back of the cable ready TV. I have tried channels 3 & 4. I have also tried changing the switch setting on the RF modulator box to both channel 3 and channel 4 as well. No luck.
Any insight or direction you might have would be appreciated.
