[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: NICE TG16 and CD ROM set w/cd system card and cables!]

I would be happy to give a discount to any pcenginefx  forum member that wins the auction, and 10% sounds fair to me!

Lochlan, man, I'm sorry for anything I have said that has gotten you riled up. I can only describe what I have for sale based on my own personal knowledge and experience in owning many of these and other systems over the past 30+ years.

Saying that the system is "beat up" is somewhat of a harsh assumption, considering it only has light scratches along the top of the cd rom unit, and flawless otherwise (except for the scratch under the cd attachment, which I also stated). When I opened the cd rom to replace the gear, I noticed there was no dust on or in it, marks on the board, capacitors needing to be replaced, or any of what I would expect from a well worn system. The previous owner before me had obviously kept it well stored and out of any elements from what I could tell. The turbografx 16 in this auction doesnt have a single scratch on it, and still even has the factory clear sticker over the logo with no bubbling in it whatsoever. The cd rom attachment only has the scratch on the underside of it, and is otherwise flawless from what I could see. This setup was from my personal collection, which I am only selling because I have the pc engine version with super system card, cd rom2, and turbo everdrive. Therefore I dont need this one, and it was just sitting on my shelf along with the rest of my collection. It didnt come from some yard sale find or thrift store. It really is a nice system, and I would rather it go to a good home for a collector who could enjoy it.

You are correct Necromancer.. it is not disallowed.

However, it is a bit inappropriate when someone is just trying to sell something.

Maybe he did a drunk post like I always do. Hahah...

LOL I dunno, I was kinda taken back by his comment myself.... I mean I know there are people who just throw junk out on ebay, but this isnt the case. I hate when people dont show good pictures or list something as "untested" or "unknown".  I kinda value my seller reputation on Ebay too much to do something like that. I just enjoy getting game systems back into top shape and letting them continue to be enjoyed, and this one only needed a new cd rom gear to get back in tip top shape. No soldering, no laser adjustments, etc. The only reason I am selling it is because I already have a built pc engine cd system with super cd card, so I dont need the US version (had about 6 tg 16's in my lifetime, and I just like the pc engine looks better). And of course I have Christmas coming up, and 2 boys who are always bugging me for something new.... If it wasnt for that, I'd keep this one in a heartbeat!

Lochlan, I'm not sure if you just always respond to people with such negativity, but there is no need for it.

I sent a link to ebay because the site rules for this selling forum state EBAY user feedback as appropriate to confirm both the item for sale as well as the seller's trust-worthiness. You might want to re-read the rules if for some reason this rule strikes a nerve with you. 

The cd rom system is indeed in very nice condition, as I stated in what we adults refer to as an opinion. It shouldn't warrant the way you apparently are used to talking to people.  I also stated there were light scratches along the top of the system due to normal age that comes along with storage. I in no way called it a "kept in box its whole life and never used minty fresh holy grail of a beauty OMG OMG" but I have dealt with electronics my entire life, and even had many game systems growing up along with a turbo duo, and I collect most of them even now, so I know what wear can be expected by a teenager, and this system is ALOT better than that. There was absolutely no dust build up anywhere on or in the unit, and the board inside it was incredibly clean with no trace of any liquid spills, capacitor leaks, or bulging of any of the capacitors whatsoever. And I'm sure you also know that with the small number of US cd releases, even the average use of the US cd system is far from enough to wear out the unit like the japanese version. I'm not sure why you feel the need to call any of that a joke, as it is just plain rude.

I also noted that the cd rom attachment base had a scratch along the underside of it, due to my own need to give full disclosure of that item's condition and being nit picky myself about those kinds of things. I was not referring to the base attachment in any way when I stated the CD ROM UNIT'S CONDITION as being the nicest I had ever come across. Please reread the item description as I think you got the two mixed up there.

Hey guys/gals,
I am selling my turbografx 16 and cd rom set on ebay if anyone is interested. not looking to sell outside of ebay, I like using it just to keep all parties in a safe transaction   

It is a very nice system, probably the best condition wise that I have come across in a long time, and i just replaced the middle gear in the cd rom unit to boot. pics/info on the link below.

Thanks!

hmm if thats the case, then I wonder why they later changed it to match the newer style plug if that design was never carried over to the other models.... just odd...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Differences with original PC Engine case?]

I tried searching for this, and couldnt find any information anywhere, so I thought I would ask the question here.

I recently purchased 2 white PC Engines, and noticed today that there was a slight difference between the two. I thought I would ask here and see if anyone could explain why this was done.

1st PC Engine: Controller port surround (case) is flat, like the turbografx16.
2nd PC Engine: Controller port has a large raised area just above it on the top half of the case.

When and why was this change made to the design of the original PC Engine case, and which one is older of the two?

Thanks!
