I regularly have these briefcase setups for sale which include 1 controller, Super CD 3.0 system card, Power cable, and AV cable. Price for this would be $220 plus shipping. All CD drives have new gearing installed as well as other regular maintenance done to them. I also have some that come with Core Grafx systems instead of a white PCE. Will give a $20 discount if you don't need a controller. I can also give a $20 discount if the Super System CD card is not needed. This would be true for those of you who plan to use your Turboeverdrive as the system card.

I also have refurbished PC engine DUOs on hand for sale as well but not as often.
A regular PC Engine DUO base price is $215. All Duos I sell are completely recapped and include an AV cable, and power cable. NO CONTROLLER INCLUDED in this price. I can however add one for an extra $20.

I can add other modifications to these as needed

S-Video $29
Region switch $55 or $65 depending on the type of system being modified. 
RGB Mod $65. Does not include scart cable. $20 extra for a cable.
Component video modification
Led modifications

Also, if money is an issue I sometimes have DUO systems missing a hu card cover or PC engine CD setups missing the briefcase lid in which case I'd discount.

Even though I re-whiten these systems I have not been able to get some of the CD drives to be quite as white as the pc engines themselves but they are very very close.

Very nice price. Do you have taps and how much more for one and a second controller?

I've purchased from Keith Courage in the past and was very happy with the purchases.  I'd buy from him again in a heartbeat.

Unfortunately I don't have any spare controllers or taps. It always seems to be difficult to find controllers for PCE systems at a good price and I only have enough for each system I am selling at the moment.

Argh where was this earlier this week, lol. Great stuff man, if I did not just buy a Duo-R I would be all over this.

I would too, I have a piece he worked on. And after the free help early on here, this is one I would trust.

Unfortunate about the taps, I see them on the bay from time to time and for a good price, but, coming from Japan or other far away places is killer and a lot more chance for damage in transit.

Do you happen to have any loose IFU units? Specifically because I'm looking to have a clean/white/unscratched one modded for S-Video or Component. Also, how about drives?

Someone on here is selling some controllers and taps I'm pretty sure. I know I just recently bought a Tap and 3 controllers with Bomberman.

Otherwise I'm sure something will pop up here.

I do have some separate white CD drives I can sell but I don't have any spare IFUs.

KC is a top-notch seller, I purchased a briefcase setup from him last year.

KC, here was a guy at Racketboy inquiring about the PC Engine, so I filled him in some and mentioned you were selling some deals over here. Maybe he'll drop by and inquire.

Meant to post this earlier but got a little busy.

Got a briefcase setup from Keith this past weekend.  Everything works exactly as advertised.  He even retrobrited the console for a little extra, and the system looks great.

Pic below is what I received:

Definitely a recommended seller.  Couldn't be happier, especially after that nightmare I had with the Duo I bought from another vendor.

Thanks so much!

I too just recently got a briefcase setup from Keith, and it's great. Excellent guy. It works like a charm. Thanks again Keith Courage.  :D

Is racketboy still a thing?   I dont think he has updated any articles in over a year.

Keith Courage

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I am backed up by 5 days or so right now with getting systems ready for people but rest assured I have them and plan to continue doing this as a side hobby.

I can attest to the quality work that Keith Courage does.  Recently got a briefcase setup with svideo and region mod and everything works and looks fantastic.

Keith Courage

I have a PC engine DUO for sale. All the capacitors have been replaced so it now works great. I am asking $190 since the unit is a little more scratched up than others I normally sell.

SOLD!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to post positive feedback for Mr. Keith Courage.

Bought one of his PCE Briefcase systems, and man, he does great work on these consoles! 
The community certainly benefits from having him!
Definitely a recommended seller.  Couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Was negotiating a deal for a unit for a little bit and we finally agreed on a kind of package deal.

Well I received my unit and it works great thanks a lot

Also would like to mention that when I got to the box it was soaked because it happened to be raining and the box was nearly falling apart. However because of the great packaging everything was fine thanks again

Hi everyone

I'm new so this is my first post but just wanted everyone to know received one of Keith's Briefcase setups today and wow wow wow!, looks and plays absolutely perfect and a pleasure to deal with.

Gentlegamer

Keith Courage supplied me with a Duo-R with region switch, great deal.

I was thinking, because I love old hardware so much, of replacing my DUO-RX with a briefcase setup. It's just such a beautiful 80s looking piece of hardware. If the gears are replaced in the CD-ROM2, am I going to sacrifice reliability at all in switching? Is this stupid of me? I realize the DUO-RX is typically worth more money, but mine didn't cost me all that much, so I would be losing nothing.

why not just have both side by side...now that would be sweet!

I'd have to sell the RX to get the other, my financial predilections do not allow me to justify the purchase otherwise.  :-k

Keith Courage

The DUO-R/RX has proven to be very reliable. However, with new gearing, caps, and regular maintenance done to it I wouldn't see why a briefcase setup would be any less reliable. Then again, the DUO-R systems are at least 5 years newer as well so maybe in the long run a DUO-R may last 5 years longer? Who knows for sure.

Thanks. I'm considering it. I've seen 37 year old Ataris still functioning, so I think it's really just a matter of keeping them maintained. If i'm in the market for it, you'll be the first I go to.

spenoza

I just want to say that I'm glad you are keeping some of these older units in good working condition and on the market. The more of these we keep alive, the longer our hobby can persist.

Keith Courage

I have 1 briefcase setup, DUO, and DUO-R ready for sale if anyone is interested.

VenomMacbeth

If you still have the Duo or Duo-R after the holidays, I might grab one from you as I'll be needing one soon to replace my IFU setup.

What is the problem with the IFU setup? Is it just the CD-ROM? Sometimes the fix for this is extremely simple.

Oh, you misunderstood.  I've already sold the IFU & CD-ROM, but kept the PCE.  I'm looking for a Duo to replace it, as I want to get an arcade card & didn't want to have to pay through the noseholes for a Pro.

I nabbed a Duo from Mr. Courage and it works flawlessly.  He also did a nice job with the re-cap.  Good clean work at a great price.  Thanks again!
