PC-ENGINE/TURBO DUO, TURBO EXPRESS SOUND FIX & MODS

[Soviet Conscript]

alright. got my turbo duo back today that i sent to turbokon. origionally it came back but it seems that the post office beat the box it was in to hell and knocked something loose (not the first time this has happened to me) so my region switch was not working. talked to turbokon about it and he told me to send it back and he would fix it. got it back today so heres my review

i origionally sent him a tg express for a sound fix and my US turbo duo for a region mod and an amp upgrade (even though my express wasn't having any major sound issues at the time.)

got my express back and it sounds great so i'm very happy with that.

as for the turbo not initally working with the region switch i fault the PO for this and turbokon was very quick in repairing it and sending it back. so now onto the duo

i was a little worried at first because the sound kinda crackeled and went in and out for a second when i loaded up bonk but after playing it for many hours on and off since its running fine. i would even say it may sound a little better then it did before i sent it out. the switch works flawlessly now and looks pretty good. nice clean job on the mod. communication throughout the process was very good and always friendly. he was also pretty quick about getting everthing done and sent out as well.


here it is playing a PCE game


heres the region switch

i was pretty pleased with the job overall. hope this helps in clearing up things a bit for you here.

Did he replace the audio caps or just do the region mod?

Good to hear your duo is working Soviet.

Hey, I hope this misunderstanding is all cleared up.

I think we all owe you an apology for throwing all that sh*t at you; sorry you got caught in the middle of all this.

I hope your modding career goes more successfully in the future.

Hope there's no hard feelings.

The more modders around here the merrier, especially if they'll do work for other forum dwellers. So long as nobody bites off more than they can chew, anyway. Some have already been bitten by that bug.

Hey turbokon, what's your source for the screw/nut that'll actually hold the 8PDT pole button down in place?  I haven't found something that fits that nicely, but what you have there in the pic looks nice.

[SignOfZeta]

You mean the one you can see from the outside that actually goes around the button? The switch should come with it.

[termis]

Really? I guess I got screwed. (foget the bad pun).  Anyone have an extra?

No, they don't come with it.  I had a hard time locating them too.  If I tell you I'll have to kill you:) I drove to all the major hardware stores and couldn't find them.  I saw them laying around at my brother house which he got from Radio Shack. He use them to replace the switch on his amps.

Just got my Turbo Express back. I had a video and sound fix done, works great!

Sent my TE to turbokon for sound and video fix. I mailed it on 5 May and got it back 10 May. All problems fixed! Of course I am new here, so it can be fuel for those with conspiracy theories

Seriously tho, fast a good work at a nice price! Thanks Turbokon!
