WTB: Turbo Duo US Box.

Azzurri · 09/02/2014, 07:41 PM

Edit: If there is a better alternative let me know too. I know there is no difference between the US and the JP Duo but the huge price.

Also, I know this would be really expensive, but I guess modding the US Turbo Duo would drop its collectors condition? So if I'd buy a US Duo and then a JP and get the mods would that be the most "collector" way, but also most expensive way, Lol.

Thanks again guys!

Alright, I just need a Box

I think you might be overthinking it with your "collector" way stuff.

Buy a DUO R or RX modded. I got mine from Doujindance (ebay seller ID), modded for RGB and region. Works good (not everyone is a fan of his work, but I have had no issues). I think it was around $300 after shipping, maybe $320 (can't recall). Get an Avenue pad 6 for your controller. Play some games! Good recipe for fun.

Also, from what I understand, Caps are the difference between the Turboduo and DUO R and RX. Apparently the caps are prone to fail on the US Duo. I've not witnessed it, but that is what I have heard. Can anyone back me up on this one?

I would love too, but I don't know how to get a hold of em.

You can find their posts in the repair / modding thread. I'm sure there is a member directory on the website, if ur not using crapatalk. They also sell on eBay as TurboGrafxfan and Superkon.

Thanks for the plug:)

I have an ifu briefcase I'm correctly working on. Hope to have it done by the weekend. I also have a duo-r, duo-rx and a regular pce duo coming my way. Maybe awhile before I get to them though.

Well I found for a decent price, that wasn't over priced.

But I need a box, so if anyone is willing to sell me their box that would be awesome, if not I'll keep searching.

Thanks guys!

I thought the boxes had the serial numbers on them?

Nazi NecroPhile · 09/10/2014, 05:29 PM

That they do, and if you're collectarded enough to demand a box, you should get a matched set.

I don't care if it matches really, I just want a box for it.

why do you "need" a box? or do you just "want" one?
