Just got back from picking this up today. Tested the system out and is running like a champ. Paid $400. Hope that wasnt too bad of a price. Picked it up off of Craigslist. The guy was really cool and said he's an engineer and that he worked at a company that made circuit and protoype boards. He had some friends in the production department and had them make some converter boards. They never finished em and he threw em in.  Pics are below. Anyone know if they can finish these? I already have a Duo so I'll probably be selling it and also any of the duplicate games to recoupe some of that money back. Maybe sell these joysticks too. Anyone know why they made a Flight stick for the Turbo? For Falcon?

Also is anyone going to The Classic Gaming Expo this weekend? Ill be there.

Yeah it was a craigslist find. I updated the original post with how I got it and pictures of some other extras i forgot to mention.

I wish I could find Tubo Stuff in the Wild..Congrats

Im interested in those pcb boards. They look like maybe unfinished region switches or something. Any idea?

They are basically the diving board converter minus the HuCard socket, which sadly is the most important part.

couldn't someone whip something up so their usable?

Seemed like a PCI slot from a pc motherboard had the right pitch for such a thing.

Man, talk about lucky! 2 Turbo hauls in just a few months. Congrats!

All teh Turbo stuff must be on the west coast... alls I ever find on craigslist around me are people selling the base system with one common game for like $200

Hot damn!! Nice find!!

Wow, very jalous here :) Can't find anything like that here as i'm way too far from big cities to get a chance like this !

Nice find! Very little Turbo stuff "in the wild" in my area.

Nice find. If the splatterhouse is a dup let me know.

HOT DAMN ON RYE! :pcgs:

Heh, another nice find.

Nice!...some good stuff there.

Interested in the hucard PCB's, I got at least one hucard socket that I can turn that into a converter with.

Id gladly send someone one of these diving boards if they could get them going and id send it for free if they could make me one as well. Or if someone is interested in trading for anything Turbo or maybe a DUO or Express recap service hit me up.

Yeah just about everything is on the West Coast, that is a good find. Man I wish I had  a DUO, and Buster Bros.
