Morning(here), I'm Yodachips from Montreal(Canada), I am a first time owner of a Turboduo US system for 2 weeks.
I'm restarting my 16-bit passion as of late. After 6-8 years focusing on raising a family I want to re-enjoy this era. Back in the days, I made the difficult choice of going the Genesis and Neo Geo way so I was not able to support financially the Turbo on top of it. When I had some $$ it was too late and the Turbos were out of the Radioshacks and nowhere to be found. So now after 24 years of waiting I finally had the chance to find a Duo complete with all the original papers and promotions that were offered at the end. (And I'm also supposed to receive a Coregrafx soon I hope)

I used to play a lot of games on my friend's system and my favorites are still Blazing Lazers, Ys and Gate of Thunder just to name a few.

It's by searching for TurboDuo capacitor problem that I've learned about this site and one the next move I want to do is to find someone that can replace it.

Anyhow, that's pretty much the gist of it, I'm a nostalgic and now I try to play on the 3 main 16-bit systems at home.

Cheers
16-bits are all the rage!!

Welcome aboard!  Good plan on getting the caps done; even if it seems to be working fine now, there's too much risk that some cap juice is eating something else on the board, ultimately necessitating a much pricier repair.

Welcome!

I'm sure there are plenty of people here who would be willing to help you out with doing the caps on your system.

Enjoy your new Duo, and we will see you down the road a few miles on the boards.

Well, I guess it has a containment thread for everyone to shame themselves.
