The Dead Format

After months of tinkering in the workshop, cross‑referencing schematics from three adjacent timelines, and arguing with a very stubborn oscillation ghost, the Cooling Companion is finally complete.

In branch '82uX, Mattel shipped the Intellivision with a small fan to keep the machine from drifting into thermal delirium during long play sessions. Our timeline never got that luxury. So I built one.

This module sits quietly on top of the 2609, pulling heat out through the vents and keeping the system anchored in this reality just a little longer. No soldering, no rituals, no dimensional paperwork. Just plug it in and let it hum.

It’s officially live in the shop now.
If your Intellivision has been running hot, wandering off, or whispering about “the other side,” this might help.

Dead Format Designs: keeping old machines alive, one improbable artifact at a time.

Things are definitely afoot here in the Time Machine!

Getting some of the kites ready for this year, looking them over, fixing whatever needs fixing.

Kind of feel like making a new kite this year, or something 🤷
Need something big!
