Sorry for the strange first post - I used post a little bit on an older version of the board back around 2005, my username then was Kakizaki, but for whatever reason that account doesn't work any longer. I suspect due to inactivity.

Anyway, my TurboDuo is starting to falter here and there, mainly sound issues and I suspect it is probably due to bad caps based on everything I have read both here and elsewhere. I am also getting a bit nervous about my lens as the poor guy seems to hang up or take an excessively long time to load CD games.

I've noticed that a few members here repair systems but I didn't want to PM anyone out of the blue without posting first.

I was also looking for a little advice. I was really pretty bummed when this first started happening, and was looking to replace my Duo rather quickly (one of my favorite systems), especially since I made a point of picking up a few extra PC Engine games the last time I was in Japan earlier this year.  I also thought it might be an excuse to snag a Duo R or RX. They just look so damn rad. I was on the cusp of snagging a modded Duo RX from Doujindance on Ebay, but after reading some posts here, I am not so sure anymore. Should I steer clear of Doujindance and try and find someone else to just repair my TurboDuo? I wouldn't mind a region mod, but it isn't a necessity for me right now. I also have a CoreGrafx that I use to play HuCards.

Thanks for the input!
