Do you own a turbo-less PCE pad?

[guyjin]

speaks for itself. If you do, how did you acquire it?

[esteban]

I think I do. It may have accompanied my old white PCE (original model with RF out only)...

I have at least one. I believe that all but one of the ones I've owned over the years came with a PCE system.

The first one I got came with an IFU + CD-ROM box set that was part of a collection I bought in the 90's. The PC Engine didn't have an RF out jack, just molded plastic of the shell in its place. So the PCE itself couldn't be played on its own, even if you had a compatible power supply. I'm guessing that this "combo" set was planned for launch as the main configuration and that core systems would be sold separately at some point. But then they couldn't get any CD games completed in time...

When I got my ifu setup from ope the controller had no turbo switches. I may have another one as well. They look nice, but turbo switches still rule

I got two, but only one is actually a turbo-less controller.  One came with a boxed white PC Engine system I bought years ago.  The other one, I'm not sure where I got it from but I ended up turbo modding it recently.  It's now my go to controller since it was hardly used and not all worn out.

I have one but I rarely use it.  I only use it when I want to restrict myself from the turbo.

I actively seek them out and convert them to MSX/X68000 pads

I have one, It was heavily smoked on and came with a broken white PCE. Ironically, It also came with a pink expansion port cover.

The Turbo-less pads came with the original white PCE. They were also sold alone.

[majors]

I HAD one from a lot buy and used it for 5-plyer setups. I recently gave it to a new RF PCE owner(Gus Money), I figured it should be reunited with it's family. I still have more than 5 pads, so donating one was not an issue.

[Necromancer]

I don't have that specific turbo-less pad.

I have two other pads that lack turbo, though - the IllustBooster and the pachinko controller.  Do they count?  Both were bought from forum peeps. 

[Corredor X]

Yeah, came with my white PCE. It's the one I use the most, BTW, really like the d-pad on this one.

[mickcris]

I have a few. Got them in a lot of consoles and accessories from yahoo Japan.
