Hi all, new here. Few months ago I decided I wanted to pull the trigger on a Duo, but to avoid the prices of a working system, I picked up a "broken" one. Countless YouTube videos later, I learned much about the Duo internals and how to solder. Here is an album of my restoration:

I'm proud of how it turned out; this was my first time attempting something like this. It's nice to save a classic system from the junk pile. See you all around on the forums!
Hiya squeeb, welcome to the forums! I activated your account sooner since you're in Japan.
I'm glad the full capacitor replacement job for your Turbo Duo was successful! I see you picked up a console5.com PCE/Duo cap kit to do it - there are better options nowadays (low ESR Panasonic capacitors) but understandable you went for that.
Anyway, enjoy your Dracula X play time! We're starting a PCEFX review section, (https://www.pcengine-fx.com/reviews/pce_dracx.html) and wouldn't you know Dracula X went up first. :)

Thanks, and I will look into those Panasonic caps!
