WTB: Turbo Duo-R (ideally modded with s-video and region mod)

[genetik]

Edit: Great, first post and i screw up by not posting in the proper sale section. Can a mod please move my message in the NEC section?

I'm brand new to this forum and I'm hoping to pickup a Turbo Duo-R. Although I've been aware of PC Engine games for at least 15 years, I've never felt compeled to step into that console, until now. I've been knee deep in MVS for the last 18 months and I've decided that it's time to start looking into the PC Engine. I have to say that the upcoming Krikzz flash cart kinda pushed me toward this decision. So here's what I'm looking for,

- Turbo Duo-R in good condition. CD drive must be in excellent working condition. I could also consider other models, but from what I understand, the Duo-R seems the most reliable.
- Ideally modded with S-Video and the region mod
- with ac/av adapters and at least one controller
- any other cool mod is a plus

Although it would be nice that the console looks clean, it's not a total must if everything is working great. Ideally a loose console as I don't care at all for boxes and manuals. I already have a ton of useless boxes from other consoles, I don't need another one. I would consider a non-modded console since I know someone that can mod it, but price wise it would make more sense to buy a pre modded one. If the price is right, I wouldn't mind though.

I also have a ton of stuff up for sale on the shmups forum, so feel free to propose a trade.

Email/PM D-Lite, I bought mine from him, he set me up with a boxed one, region modded, with a ton of games. This is his site, http://www.multimods.com/, he also offers an s-video mod like you want.

I managed to find a nice TurboDuo-R, very clean. It should be in my hands later today.

Thanks neoxeno. I ignored the PCE for far too long. It's time to jump in.

That's what I did. I used the email on his site, just before I posted here. It's been a week without a response from him. I would've definitely preferred buying from him, but too bad I guess.

Give him time he will respond, he's a busy guy. It took about a month of back and forth emails to get what I wanted nailed down. He answered a lot of my questions, provided me with lots of photos and even helped me choose my first games by offering suggestions based on the genres and games I liked for other consoles. Just be patient he will get back to you, if not send him another email so it bumps to the top of his inbox, believe me his service is good enough to be worth the effort.

Sadly it’s too late now. A region/RGB modded Turbo Duo R was delivered to my house today. I didn’t want to be pushy with mails and I read on the assembler/neo-geo forums that he doesn’t answers his emails much. I really wanted an s-video out, but I’ll live with the RGB. Just a pain that I had to buy a scart to component converter (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/SEGA-SCART-RGB-YPbPr-YUV-Component-Video-Converter-/220698773448) so that I can actually hook it up to my north American CRT. But I guess the converter might be useful for other consoles.

Where is he located? If I already have the PC engine duo, how much is he charging to have the mods done?
