Quote from: guest on 06/20/2016, 07:29 PMI don't recommend selling Splatterhouse (or anything else) if you don't know what it's worth.Im well aware of the value but I also don't expect ebay prices. So Im open to negotiation if someone wants to make a fair offer I'm open to it.
Quote from: wilykat on 06/09/2015, 05:45 PMDid you make sure it worked before recapping? It'd suck if it ended up a lemon that should have been returned for exchange back when TTI was still around and making them. Unless the caps have burst and leaked, replace it first.Hey yes I tested it when I opened the box a week ago. Everything worked great for the couple min's I ran it. I've not done the recap yet waiting till after dinner
Quote from: MNKyDeth on 06/01/2015, 01:21 PMI want more pics, of the internals.My new caps should be here in Friday or Saturday. I'll take lots of photos when I open it up to do the recap
See what a new board looks like with how much if any corrosion etc.
Quote from: NightWolve on 05/29/2015, 12:24 PMTotally understandable, I get where the distrust could be perceived. I wouldn't however call me new, I've been a member of these forums since 2006, just not a heavy poster. Mostly I just buy from the sales threads and follow along other discussionsQuote from: adolobe on 05/29/2015, 09:51 AMIm not sure why it constantly keeps coming up regarding the validity that the box was sealed when my original concern was if the caps would of gone bad.We get poseurs that come here from time to time that use the forum to spread rumors or whatever other bullshit for various reasons. It is prudent to take clear photos and post them right from the get-go if you wanna keep people's bullshit detectors from going off after showing up for the first time with no rep and expecting strangers to take your word for whatever claims you wanna forward. Since your photos, I've accepted that some retailers must've added the shrinkwrap, so I have no further doubt here myself, but there's your answer as to why we have a "distrust and verify" attitude towards claims like this, we've seen enough BS over the years.
Quote from: guest on 05/29/2015, 10:25 AMBabbages may have done the deed. As far as i know, no pack-in hucard game ever came with the retail box. It was always just hucard in sleeve and manual sealed up with the rest of the manuals.
Also, if i recall correctly, Ys and GoT 3in1 came in white trays that were themselves stacked end-to-end and packaged in a cardboard holder with round cutouts to display the discs.
My guess would be that it was sealed by the retailer after some minor meddling. Could be wrong. Ultimately doesn't matter much, i'm still super jealous.
Quote from: guest on 05/29/2015, 09:29 AMOh lol, I got what you guys are referring to now. Sorry I miss understood, my bad.Quote from: geise on 05/29/2015, 09:18 AMWhere is the Gate of Thunder manual? In there with the Bonk manuals?I assume so.Quote from: adolobe on 05/29/2015, 09:28 AMMy first duo back in the mid 90's also didn't have a box for Ys. It was just shrinkwrapped jewel case just like this one. I still have it to this dayI didn't mean a retail box, I meant the long plain white box that held both jewel cases.
Quote from: geise on 05/29/2015, 09:18 AMThe manual for it is in the poly bag with the console manual, warranty card, Turboforce Magazine and the coupon book. Actually there are manuals for all 3 games on the CD (Gates of Thunder, Bonk, Bonks Revenge) no bomberman obviously since its a hidden gameQuote from: guest on 05/29/2015, 09:13 AMA black Ys tray and no long box? I'd guess someone was already in that 'sealed' box before you.Where is the Gate of Thunder manual? In there with the Bonk manuals?

Quote from: thesteve on 05/17/2015, 01:19 AMjust a noteThanks for the tip. I finally got around to opening up the box last night. To my surprise the random Hucard game was Splatterhouse. I was pretty excited about that but thought it odd they would include a gory game as a pack in, but Im not gonna complain.
the leakage will likely be clear as without power it doesnt eat into the copper bad
as the copper is dissolved by electrolysis the fluid will turn green or black
Quote from: bozo55 on 05/15/2015, 04:34 PMSome pics of your repair would be cool if you get the chance. Would love to see just how bad a new unit could be.Yea I'll take a few photos maybe an unboxing video when I actually open it. I was going to do it the other day but family stuff got in the way and this weekend is full of activities so hopefully early next week
Quote from: NightWolve on 05/12/2015, 10:04 AMMy Turbo Duo box was not sealed (bought new from TTi going-out-of-business sale for $99), neither was the TurboGrafx-16 system that I won... I'm leaning on "the case of the glossy duo" with this sealed claim of his... Least Ninja had the good sense to put up photos right off the bat, albeit they were quite bad.
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/12/2015, 03:51 PMYeah, I'm not sure I've ever seen any console shrink wrapped. It's pretty fucking pointless for sure.
Quote from: Lost Monkey on 05/12/2015, 12:23 PMI have to go look and see if I can find photos, but it may have been Donsal that shrinked mine... I seem to recall there was a "Donsal" sticker on the box somewhere too, which would have to have been under the shrink.When I say shrink wrapped this is what Im referring to. Either it be NEC/TTI or Babbages I dunno but this is how I purchased it loose flap on the bottom and all
The shrinkwrap was the brittle, cellophane type, rather than the soft Saran Wrap type...
Quote from: SignOfZeta on 05/11/2015, 10:36 PMGuess what. Turbo Duos didn't come with shrink wrap. That clear plastic you're hemming and hawing over is totally worthless. Open the fucker and get it recapped at once before the PCB is wasted, assuming it isn't already.I purchased it from Babbages when they were closing out the line with the one I use now and they both came with a plastic shrink wrap to hold the box sleeve on. So I just assumed the ones that came with the sleeve that advertised the 3in1 CD free hucard and magazine all came shrink wrapped. Granted the shrink wrap isn't perfect its got a large 5 inch piece hanging off on the bottom.
Fuck.
Also, btw, using a Duo doesn't wear out the caps. They just leak because they suck.
Quote from: guest on 05/11/2015, 09:22 PMThe better question is... Why the hell did you never open it!?lol cause I already had one and a Duorx
