[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Need suggestion on my Turbo Duo.]

Do you remember who or where you bought it from?

My first Duo I bought at a video game shop in the late 90s in San Diego. I traded my old TG-16 w/CD-ROM and extra cash for it.

The second was from eBay in 2001. I remember it because it took forever for it to be delivered. Back then eBay was a different beast. No PayPal back then. Most of the time you mailed a check to the seller that took a few day. Then the seller didn't mail the item for about two weeks. The reason? The check to be cleared. Ah the good old days.

Thanks all for the suggestions. I'll send the boxed one in to have the caps replaced after the other one done. I'll just leave a note to be careful with the box.

One thing that surprise me is that many boxed Turbo Duo's does not have the sleeve that wrapped around the side of the box. Then again, I do save everything on any of my big purchases.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Need suggestion on my Turbo Duo.]

Hello all, I had this account for a while now and now and now just posting. I'm currently stationed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and here we have a lot of time to kill if not working. During my time here I was reentering the very deep rabbit hole of PC-E/TG-16 and accquired a few CD and HuCard games that I didn't have. I had them mailed home so I have something to look forward to when I return.

Now here is the dilemma: I have two Turbo Duo's. My original Duo back in the early 90s and one new unopened that I bought on eBay back in 2001. The reason I bought the other Duo was to have a back up in case my original dies on me.

I'm going to send my original Duo to get the caps replaced when I return home next month. Should I also send the new Duo also or should I keep it in the box?

Thanks for any suggestions.
