Offering my services for Turbo/PCE repairs/mods
« on: March 13, 2012, 05:54:07 PM »
Hey guy, turbokon here.  I've been a turbo fan since middle school and a member since around 2008 or so and even did some mods for members here and can only remember a few members I've done mods/repairs for.  I'm not always the most active contributor when it comes to posting and all but I do drop in every now and then just to catch up with what is going on here.  I know I will probably get some slacks from veteren hardcore members but I would like to start offering my services again.  I know there are others members here that also provide services but I'm just offer services to lend a helping hand.  I have done region mods, caps overhual and opto isolator replacement in the past and just recently fixed up a non working turbo grafx CD by replacing the laser, all the caps and tweak the pots (with thesteve help).  So if you need any type of these mod/repairs done, I can do it.  I admit that all my knowledge comes from places like this forum and else where online and that I'm not a genius like some, for example "thesteve" and BMW just to name a couple but I am capable in doing a few repairs/mods. I just discovered the lcd/composite video mods and the switchless region mod for the turbo express and have successfully completed the mods.  Again, I would just like to lend a helping hand for a small price of course :D Attach are pictures of the work I've done on my own consoles.

Price List (all prices includes return shipping cost):
Duo complete cap change -$65
TE/GT complete cap change -$35
TE/GT switchless region mod -$45
TE/GT Video out mod - $25
TE/GT 3.5" LCD mod -$55, add $5 for video out
TE/GT with new 2.5" LCD -$45, add $5 for video out
TE/GT external controller port mod - $35
Duo/TG-16/PCE Region mod -$55
Turbografx/PCE audio and composite video out -$25
Turbografx Logo LED Mod- $25
Component video mod via RCA Jacks - $85
Component video mod via mini-din & earphone jack - $65

I will also consider trades in place of cash for mods/repairs.

Region mods




Turbografx Logo LED mod


Stock TE 2.5in LCD



TE with new 2.5in LCD



TE with new 3.5in LCD


TE with external controller port


Duo with S-video, RCA Jack & Region Switch


Turbografx with component mod




Duo component mod using the pre-fab board and rca jacks







Edit: Added duo component mod photos and updated price for it.

Just here to let others know that I sent Turbokon my old (broken) Cd-rom2 and he fixed it the day he got it. :shock: Very fast, reliable and great communication overall, a highly recommended user! Thanks again for the repair service, also good cheap prices for fixing my system *thumbs up*

that is weird, sounds like a pixel clock issue during game play.
does it happen with all games or 1 game?

Just curious to what the mod is for that Suitcase Edition is?
The fat AV plug is now hella lot smaller, and there's an on/off switch to it's left?

Thanks
