My Duo needs a re-cap and the time is now! I was just playing a CD on it and realized that for some reason none of the CDs I played went past track 8 without becoming distorted. This is strange since the last time I played an audio CD on it, it went to the edge with no trouble. (it finished an 80 minute audio CD) I'll take this as a sign to get the repair ball rolling. The AV connector may need to be re-soldered as it is very touchy also.
Is anyone interested in doing this work and how much will it cost (ballpark)?
Please let me know if I need to buy the components and what I should send in the package. I have never had a system re-capped before and I have to admit that I'm pretty nervous about sending my Duo away!
I live in Madison, Wisconsin so if anyone nearby is up for this that would be excellent but I am willing to ship anywhere in the country to get the job done.
Thanks,
Jamie
Off topic a bit but if youre in Madison you should consider attending the Midwest Gaming Classic in Milwaukee in April. Its alwaysa ton of fun.
Im in Cali cost $88 shipped back 100% radial recap. Im backed up about a week atm
Turbokon is closer to you.
Im sure others will chime in
I'm pretty backed up at the moment, at least 6 weeks.
I'm on hold for repairs right now until I get settled and set back up to do them again.

***EDIT: Since you're backed up, I may have found someone relatively close who can do it sooner so I will explore that route in the mean time.***
Hey I think I spoke to you on Facebook (Jamie Orlando). I think perhaps I would like you to do the work since you said you can also check/tweak the laser. Just let me know when a good time to send my system would be. You can PM the details to me as to what to include, like if I need to supply the caps or whatever. I have no problem waiting for your schedule to clear. I don't have any strange audio issues other than an occasional digital distortion sound past a certain point in some CDs. The TG-16 PSG sound is fine and matches that of my TG-16 itself.
Thanks,
Jamie
I just want to quick thank everyone for the replies. I am just nervous about sending the Duo out! I know you're all passionate about these awesome NEC systems.
Thanks,
Jamie
