The story goes that before launch, NEC manufactured way more than they would ever sell. So it is unlikely.

I see. I'm a bit disappointed that NEC used Taicon caps in the US Turbos.  Didn't the PCE's use Rubycons?

I don't know, but I do know that there was a revision used in the Coregrafx and SuperGrafx, which fixed a crucial audio bug and those systems are capable of much higher quality samples.

Why would you be concerned about the caps on the Turbo? I have never seen an instance of bad caps on them.
