FS/FT: TG16 turbo tap, 5 controllers, & a duo/TG16 adapter/extension

[mitsuman]

Looking to sell or trade my TG16 controllers, tap, and adapter/extension cable.

My girls and I were playing bomberman last night and while playing we all three had some sort of controller malfunction.

All pieces are in great shape and the controllers still have the clear film on them.

Asking $125 shipped or a trade on 5 duo controllers, one duo multi tap, and an extension cable.

Can you describe the malfunction?  Were the buttons just not responsive?  If so, you need to open them up and just clean the rubber and contacts with some alcohol.

You weren't using the extension cord between the system and tap, were you?

[MotherGunner]

Good call Necro, yes you CANNOT use the the extension cord between the tap and system.  You need extension cables for the controller themselves.  I suspect they are not defective at all.

[mitsuman]

Damnit, just noticed I put this in the wrong section. 

We couldn't move the characters, or they would move on their own. Or lay bombs without us pushing the buttons.


And yup, I had the extension between the tap and system. The system is sitting pretty far away from the couch.

i really didn't think they were defective. Just looking for a full set of PC engine things to replace them.

[MotherGunner]

That's your issue right there.  Get 4 more extension cords and might as well do a good internal cleaning.

They are NOT defective.

Good luck!

[MotherGunner]

You can convert your controllers using these cables.

But I'll still need something between the tap and the system since the tap doesn't match the systems port.

Also, could someone please move this to the for sale section? Or do I just need to create a new post?

[Necromancer]

'Tis moved.

You could try swapping the tap's cable with one from a PCE controller (or tap).

[mitsuman]

Thanks.

So is it the adapter, or the extension part that is causing an issue?

[Necromancer]

It's probably the extension.  You should be okay with a shorty adapter cable.

Okay, so then I need a short adapter for tap to system, then extensions from controller to turbo tap?
