WTB: Turbo Duo HuCard Door

[Phase]

Got a US Turbo Duo recently off of craigslist but its missing the HuCard door. I've had a TG16 since 92 and always wanted a Duo

Wondering if someone has a spare from a broken system they would want to sell?

Also what would be a fair price for one? I was thinking around 25 bucks?

Im sure someone here can hook ya up. 

[roflmao]

I dunno...  I think there are a few members here also looking for that cover.  I know there is some interest in having one manufactured much like the replacement hu-cases.  Either way, you've come to the right place to pursue your quest!  If anyone can help you out, you'll find them here.

Yeah I've been looking for a while . . . I am trying to get a good cad image going for possibly making a few repos but we'll see they have a couple small parts that have been pain . . . plus I;ve never used CAD and relying on others.

If I can find my old copy (ahem) of SolidWorks 2005, I could probably draw it up no problem.

Sounds like they are pretty scarce 

Are you thinking of 3d printing some or would making a mold from an original be better?
Would it be hard to match the plastic color?

Off topic questions- Are US duo controllers also pretty rare? I'm having a hard time finding any.

Has any one ever made a TG16 to Duo controller converter? or are they different other than the plug size?

tgodfrey makes them, I have purchased from him and they work nicely.

TheOldMAn was going to help me with this, He just needs the model.  Blue that would be helpful if you could come up with something, we were having issues with the little clip on the side.  The 3d printing, mold thing is TBD, color shouldn't be too much of an issue, but we'll see.

To answer your controller issue - PCE controllers are the same, and plentiful.  If not the converters are easy to find, TG's are excellent and very reasonably priced as esteban pointd out.

The fragile nature of anything 3D printed is going to make the hinge extremely fragile. Its also going to be rough textured, which isn't very cool.

[TheOldMan]

Printed ABS isn't fragile at all. Its a bit flexible, which will probably help with the hinge pins.
There are various ways of treating printed pieces, and you can get a very smooth glossy finish if you put the time into it.

However, matching the color could be a real pain...

[BigusSchmuck]

If cosmetics aren't a issue, why not try to see if there is a PC Engine Duo cover available? Or a Duo-R/RX and spray paint it black?

[SignOfZeta]

The R/RX lid is completely different.

[futureman2000]

I am still looking for a pc-engine duo cover- haven't found one yet.

[SeymorOnion]

Would you guys like clear/transparent HuCard Slot Doors, for all PCE and TG16 Systems?
The plastic would be somewhat soft and flexible (not shatter/scratch prone like acrylic).

Or would you prefer color-matched Hucard Slot Doors?

A familiar face from the cover project 

Hmm personally I'd rather have the color be the same as the original.
