Got a non-functioning Duo in today.  All I can say is ZOMG this thing is mint!  Its a real shame it has stopped working!  This guy included EVERYTHING with it.  All the manuals, the 3in1 plus manuals, the turbo force magazine, a letter he got from NEC with coupon books and stickers!  All the baggies and zip ties, all styrofoam!  The controller even still has the film over the face of it!  He even had his receipt from when he bought it...  Looks like he paid $250 for it in Feb of 2000 from Telegames USA?   I feel so bad that the poor thing doesn't work!  Hopefully I can repair it, its just such a mint condition unit I hate to see it failed!  Production date on it is Jan 93. According to the guy I bought it from the system was used a total of maybe 30 hours since new...  crazy!

Oh and the letter he got from NEC with the coupon books etc, the postmark was May 29, 1990.  Pretty darn cool!

Update:  The system is fully functional.... :(  Looks like it was a bad A/V cable.... so now the moral dilemma since I basically gave $70 for it...

Update 2: Found one problem with it after some use... the left audio channel is noticeably quieter than the right on cd audio.  Guess a few caps are in order.

Holy crap! I want to laugh...wait...I am already laughing. I feel bad for the guy. I'm not sure how I would go about that. If it was just an A/V cord it seems like he didn't care enough to troubleshoot. It's obviously up to you how you want to handle it, though.

Anyway, nice system! I love all the nostalgic goodies! :D

Opethian: sir, that is one wicked collection of shooters! I think the newest TF i have is part V for ps1... I think you'll be seeing bullets in your sleep for the next little while!  :twisted:

BlueBMW: it's unreal that AV cords would break down for no reason after 30hours gametime....there's no cuts or anything on them ? Unless he contantly folded or rolled those cords...that's weird. But damn, that's one MINT beauty  8)

None that I can see, but when I connect with it, the video would come in and out as I manipulated the cable (on the RCA jack side, not the DUO side)  It felt like something was not quite right inside the cable.

I logged about 2 hours of LoT last night.  Only f*ckery was the sound issue.  Ill be correcting that tonight.  I know i'll never find another system like this again so i guess i had better keep it.
