Turbografx 16 back cover

[geezuzkhrist119]

I scored a TG16 yesterday. The system came without the back plastic piece. I'm looking for a replacement piece. I looked on eBay and found nothing. Does anyone know where I can get one?

Get a Turbobooster, Turbobooster Plus, or CD Unit. Any of those 3 will benefit you far more in the future (when you get sick of RF, passwords, and non-CD games) than just a plastic back cover.

I wonder sometimes why those are always missing. I know that sometimes the tabs break off and they dont stay in place. Other times i think they have a booster or cd unit installed that eventually gets removed. In either case its kinda annoying and makes the console look funny. Rf sucks like mentioned find a cd or booster for the better video output. The rf on the turbo is horible beyond words.

You don't really need it, I had it off for years with no problems plus it's easier to put on the AC adapter.

Mine's missing it too, but no big whoop for me. The TG-16 is a bit of an afterthought when I have my PC Engine Duo-RX.

A turbobooster sounds like a good idea. How much do they go for?

In my opinion I think the console looks stupid without it. I plan on displaying my console collection when I get a house so I want it looking complete.

I have a spare one from a defective console, I don't know how much it's worth but I'd be willing to sell it if you could pick it up. Shipping costs would be more than it's worth IMO.

I'm willing to take it off your hands. I'm usually in Richmond hill like every other month so if you are willing to let me grab it off you that would be great.

Shipping from you to me should be pennies.

It should be pennies within the province, but it's not. You're better off meeting up locally as GG suggests, the shipping cost would be quite high.

Not to steer you away from GG, but as others have mentioned you should really get a TurboBooster Plus given that it has save memory and allows for cleaner RCA output. Otherwise, best of success.

Make sure to bring a safetybuddy and don't drink anything that's offered.

I do have a spare fully working controller, is $10 alright for one? The rarity guide here lists $15 but I'm not sure if it's current and it's been awhile since I've seen spare controllers for sale for comparison.

I might have some spare games too if you were looking for any, I still haven't sorted out the games I got in a bundle I bought awhile back.

10 bucks seems good. I'm not really isn the market for games but for a cheap price ill be interested.

Make sure to bring a safetybuddy and don't drink anything that's offered.

I'll bring a pack of angry midgets for back up if this deal goes south.
What if GG offers me a sandwich? Can I take that? Lol

I'll gladly hold it for you until you'll be heading this way, I tend to keep spare parts in case they could be useful so I won't throw it out. I'd only want a few dollars for it as it's just a piece of plastic.

Based on the dimensions shipping would probably be around $10, I really don't think it would be worth near that much. You could get the Turbobooster as others have said, I've never found one locally though so good luck if you'd prefer that. I'm still looking for one myself.
