Am I the only person who bought the Karaoke for TurboDuo?

[ScottK]

I bought a TurboDuo when they first came out (actually traded in my tg-16 for $50 off from NEC). I was very curious when they announced a Karaoke player that was compatible with the TurboDuo (was basically compatible with any CD+G player and any TV that had 2 sets of A/V inputs). Anyways, I was at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago in '93 or '94 when they introduced the thing at the TTI booth. I thought that thing was the bomb and later ended up ordering one from a mail-order company. I still have it and have used it at many events and xmas parties. I was just wondering if I was the only idiot who purchased one back in the day, heh. I haven't heard of anyone else that had one.

Yeah, I think you're the only one :D

[fishsandwich]

hey, if you've used it for many events and parties then buying it was a smart move... you're no dummy.

And yes it seems you are the only one who has one... except Joe maybe and few other hard-core collectors:)

Cheers

I don't know how to upload pics on here so I uploaded a pic to my site. The link is:

Rare TG-16 peripherals = big bucks.

Today's lesson: Get into your DeLorean, hit 88 mph and go back in time...back in time to the 1980s, and pick up all the cool shit you can't get no more. LOL

[maxlords]

That's neat looking! Never actually seen one before...

Anyways, I was at the Summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago in '93 or '94 when they introduced the thing at the TTI booth.

I was working the TTI Booth at that paticular CES. I still have my white satin TTI bonk jacket (I wonder what that ugly thing is worth). I wasn't too impressed with the karaoke machine, but looking back on it I wish I'd bought one and kept it new in box.

Wow, what's the chances..? Give us a photo of that jacket if you've got a chance, please!

That's awesome. I really miss the SCES as i really wish they would have stayed in Chicago. I know I don't remember you from the event, but I remember every employee forcing Bonk buttons on me. I think I ended up with like 40 bonk buttons from the even (there were like 6 different varieties). I rememeber there was a DJ guy singing on the thing and I walked up to see what it was all about and he gave me a mic and we both were singing. heh, I had to make myself look like a jackass as I'm no American Idol...lmao.

Since you worked for TTI...did you know a guy named Scott Bradley? He used to send me free crap in the mail all the time.

I'll try later tonight...I'm at work right now.

Not personally, he worked a different shift than me.

Mostly offtopic, but does anyone know the proper name, going price, and non-JP hardware compatability of the "mega cd karaoke unit" or whatever it is? I'm determined to make the biggest sega cluster machine possible.

I took a few pics of the jacket but am having problems uploading them. I'll post them tomorrow morning/afternoon.
Also, since I haven't seen the jacket in years, I thought it was a bonk jacket but it turns out that it's an air zonk jacket. I hope that doesn't disappoint anyone.

This is slightly off topic, but does anyone have the karaoke addon for the MegaDrive? I'd love to have one, but I assume they're hideously expensive now. I wouldn't even know where to look for one besides ebay, and I'd assume that they're all in Japan, so trying to import one must be a big pain.

Awesome Jacket, Time for me to save to get a Turbo-RX. There was also some weird/cool add-ons:
PC-Engine Mouse, Duo Intelligent Link (A device that would allow you to hook the Duo up to your computer and use it as a CD-ROM.), PC Engine Memory Base 128, and the Power Console:
