Console Repair/Mod Center
Hello! I'm new to the forum here, good to see this system has a lot of interest.
I have a Turbo Duo that I bought around 1997 from TZD, I have maybe 30 games at this point. I was playing a CD game, and sure enough, I had the "sound issue." I am attached to the system, but not sure where to go next. Here are the choices I have come up with:
1. Buy an RGB modded DUO-R or DUO-RX from ebay (when sellers say "new lens" do they mean the whole laser assembly has been replaced?)
2. Buy a used DUO-R, and send it to someone for a region mod, and take my chances with the laser etc.
3. Just fix the capacitor issue, and keep using my chip adapter. I can probably do this, but would have to buy the game-bit etc.
There are not a lot of hours on my Turbo Duo. Is it generally true that the DUO-R holds up better for sound issues? How many "hours of play" is the CD unit good for in the Turbo Duo vs. the DUO-R?
Any information is appreciated. Thanks!
