Very cool thank you!!

I guess I'd be looking to send it to someone for assistance in early April.

I'd like to add composite outputs along with the mod for playing imports.

what kind of price range would we be in on average for a job like this?

[kattare]

no idea what others charge, but I'd be around $60 for the region switch and $30 to add rca composite/audio jacks to the shell.  That's assuming you really mean composite (which already comes out of the a/v cable) and not component. (YUV) I haven't done a component mod yet, as you first have to do an RGB mod, then somehow would have to fit an RGB to Component converter inside the case.  Sure would be amazing tho!

Good to hear you're getting back into the Turbo!! 

[_joshuaTurbo]

Thanks guys!  And yes I meant composite.  I'm a dumbass.

Quick Question:

IF I get the Turbo Region modded, and I pick up a TurboGrafx CD attachment somewhere down the line.  Would I then be able to pick up the Arcade card PRO, and use that to play CD, SCD, and ACD games on this TurboGrafx?

Stupid question?

:S  lol

Yeah... just gotta warn you, the TG-CD units aren't aging well.  You're way better off with a cap swapped Duo or region modded Duo-R.

I went the Duo route last time- loved it to pieces!  This time tho- I think I'll try this way first.  If it doesn't work out at least I can say I once owned a Turbografx+ CD unit.

It'd be pretty rokken to one day play some 3X3 eyes or Drac X on an old TG16 console - and make my gen and snes friends all jealous lol...

So anyway- I got the TG16 unit in the mail today- now I'm just waiting on the controllers and AC adapter to try it out.

Then I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good deal on the CD unit at the MGC.

hahaha. They'd be green with envy. And glad to hear your TG arrived!

hey hey,

I'm looking at picking up a Turbo CD unit that is not working cheap.  Apparently it boots up, saves games, but doesn't play discs.  Like the drive doesn't start spinning or something.  Could this possibly be fixed?

I think for a good price its nice just for saving and having AV outputs.

The problem with the tg16 cds not working or reading is the little geat on the inside that moves the disc wears out and the teeth go.  Its about the size of a stomper gear.  I think sony cd players were alot like the nec from what I hear.  Man Im a old collector and I have my original tg16cd system and Im dreading the day she dies.
