[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: One Dollar bill - how much is it worth?]

IMHO a bit on the pricey side...

Thanks Keith courage .. I will give a go on her tomorrow and let you know results ..

Fingers crossed

Just want to say KC knows his stuff. I had the exact same problem as you; turned out the main board was fried. Listen to this man!

Yeah I saw that chart, even before I ordered with them. I just assumed I was ordering the henshin, though looks like I may have wasted $55. Do you know if there are any Henshin out there anywhere for purchase?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: MOD - Homemade converters]

It's from Retro Towers, and I think it's just the converter (unless you made some new PC-Henshins). Maybe the converter doesn't work with SSC, but the PC-Henshin should, right?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: MOD - Homemade converters]

Hey DB,
I got a converter from one of your approved sellers, but I'm having issues. I'm trying to use a japanese SSC3 to play CDs that require 3.0. I can access the card, but any game I try still says I need the "super system cd-rom2". Any clue what's going on here?

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: MOD - Homemade converters]

I thought I read that you said the creation process for the PC Henshin took too long and was a pain to complete. i thought you were working on an easier process to make them.

Good to know, I'm certainly interested.

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: MOD - Homemade converters]

DB, do you still have plans of refining the Henshin build process, or are you going full bore on the Turbo at this point? I'm debating between Henshin and region MOD and just wanted to know if they'd be available again!

[Console Repair/Mod Center / Re: TG CD won't spin]

So, my TG CD has been sitting dormant for a while, in it's hard case. I've now got a dedicated retro gaming area, and hooked it up this morning before work and while everything seems normal, powers on, etc. the CD won't spin.

I didn't have time to open it up and take a look, but what types of issues have others run into that cause this behavior? I'd like to see if I can get an idea of what I'm looking for before I go monkeying around.

Last thing I played was to test Mysterious Song and that worked normally. Since that time the system has been sitting in the hard case for about a year or so not really doing anything.

You get this fixed? I have the exact same problem now. I replaced the gear and everything moves freely. I get the "please set disc" error, the laser starts to move, then stops!

[Buy/Sell/Trade / WTB: TG CD working or gear replacement]

I'm looking for a turbografx cd player only. Just the console, no cables or power cord necessary. It should either be in working condition our only need the middle gear replacement. I bought a gear in preparation for this!
