MAJOR UPDATE
Thought I should get this thread up to date. I am home from college, so I have plenty of free time to take on jobs now. If you have pmed me about work, and I did not reply, please pm me again if you are still in need of work. I will not be buying most broken stuff at the moment unless it is cheap/free to ship, I'm too broke to be buying up 50 busted game gears/ps2s/etc that I probably can't sell/use. I have 3 working neses that i probably need to sell as it is.
I am working with a partner on starting up snes repros (and possibly other consoles repros). I am waiting on him to order some of the parts so I can put some initial test ones together. If you have any requests of that nature please bear with us as we set up the website and things.
In other news I can reprogram Famicom Disk System games/backup the data from them now. This is great for if you want to play some of those fds translations on the real deal. Also the tg-16 flash cart is on hiatus. I will taking some pictures of previous mods and uploading them for all to see pretty soon. (I know a picture is worth a thousand words).
Also a note on turbo duo sound fixes. In my experience a good pcb cleaning and cap replacement fixes audio about 80% of the time. I and others have come across many duos where this procedure did NOT fix the audio, or only partially fixed it. We are looking into other potential causes of this failure, and we have are suspects. If any breakthroughs are made I will let everyone know. For this reason I probably won't attempt duo sound fixes as it's too much of a crap shoot right now. Laser issues/cd reading problems are fair game though. This includes cd audio dropping out all of the sudden or only intermittently working, NOT quiet/popping/hissing audio. If you have any questions about this let me know.
As always I am up for mod ideas. You got a request, let me know. I might just be able/willing to do it. If you think it's crazy, I probably think it's just fine, but be prepared to pay more for extensive/involved mods.
Here is the original list of repairs I have done:
Nes 72 pin woes, no power, video issues
Snes power issues
Tg-16 power issues
Turbo Express video, sound and power issues
Turbo Duo sound issues related to bad caps, laser calibrations
Psx laser calibration.
Sega CD model 1 power and tray issues
Arcade monitor cap kits
Turbo CD calibration
Various game cartridge repairs (battery replacement, "dead" carts, etc.)
Various Jamma arcade pcb issues (video, sound, power, logic, etc. problems)
Tons of other common issues consoles are known to have, and some uncommon ones as well.
Modding experience:
Psx modchip installation
Tg-16 region and rgb mods.
Pce/Duo controller to tg-16 controller converter cable.
Conversion of a tg-16 controller to pce and vice versa.

Lots more I am forgetting
I have a top2049 eprom programmer that can program a nice variety of chips including pic controllers used for various modchips, unibioses (not the latest version; please see the unibios website for details), bioses in general such as the sega cd multiregion bios, etc. If you need anything involving that kind of thing, let me know.
Supergun I built for an online friend (Sorry for the crappy pics those were taken with the DSi's camera, the only camera i had available at the time:
