WTB: Turbo Duo -- where to find?

[agbulls]

I've been considering buying a Turbo Duo ever since I sold my Tg16 with CD attachment about 4 years ago. Ebay doesn't have any either. Note that I'm not interested in a japanese unit as I want to play U.S hu cards. I'd expect to pay $175 or so for a nice, working unit. Any ideas?

No idea outside of Craigslist or eBay but hopefully someone here can help.

By the way, many here will tell you just to get a Japanese unit and mod it or get a convertor but you'll save a lot of money and headaches sticking to your plan. You seem to know what your doing just my opinion. The older these machines get the more finicky the boards are with nods and such.

I did consider at one point getting a JP Duo with a Kisado card, but really have no interest in that route at this point. Rather, I want a US system that I can drop US hucards into along with having the flexibility and easy of playing cd based games from any region. Seems simple enough, but finding a US machine is incredibly hard. Hopefully someone here can help.

just get a jp system and mod it, then you can play japanese hu cards as well, which there are like a million more games released in japan...

who can mod a jp duo?

There are several TurboDuo's on ebay right now. It's not a cheap system, that's for sure.

I'd suggest getting a duo-r or rx they are far more common and don't suffer from the sound issue that the,turboduo does.Also if you don't like the fact the hucards being region locked the system can have a region switch put in.Another thing 'there are people over at pcenginefx.com that sell duos and offer the service for putting a region switch in.

yeah I'm amazed that the capacitors on my black Duo still work. At least if capacitors die they aren't that expensive to buy.
