I tested my Creativision for the first time today.
It works, but not all keys on the controllers.
Here's what I've got:

Yup, as you see the colours on the controllers differ. That is because I selected a set of 100% working controllers out of two different units for my own Creativision, and sold the other one with known bad/partly defective controllers for a somewhat reasonable price to you. ;)

But are there any controllers that isn't compatible or have they all the same connector?

Controllers working on the CreatiVision (and Rameses, and Funvision, and Wizzard) won't work on the CreatiVision MK-2.

Got another Creativision today. Got the keyboard, two controllers, boxed Basic and Sonic Invader, RF switch box, tape drive and demo tape. How is the tape drive fastened to the creativision? I can't seem to remove it.

You have to SLIDE the cassette deck in order to remove it. There might be a plastic screw on the bottom of the unit, keeping the two items joint.

Nice acquisition! TBC told me there were several bidders on this, and they seemed well aware what they were bidding for and some even referred to have owned a Creativision in their youth. Of course they might be mixing it up with some other black console, but perhaps it was more widespread even up here than I used to think.
