Turbo Duo accessories
« on: February 16, 2014, 06:31:20 am »
This maybe in the wrong area, but I am in need of accessories for this thing.  I need a power supply, av cables, and a controller.  If somebody would provide some links for the aforementioned or have any of they are looking to part with let me know.  :)

You got yourself a US Duo? Missing the power supply, A/V and a controller? How much did it run you?

be sure to check out http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/ as they are the #1 authority on the web for TurboGrafx/PCEngine.

A/V cable is same as PCEngine

For the controller you have a few options.

You can try and find a US TurboDuo controller (good luck!)

order a PCEngine controller since its exactly the same thing. (Any version will work)

I was hoping you would save my butt on this. 

The unit ran me about $50.  The family I bought it off of said it worked when they stored it but couldn't find the rest of it, or the games for that matter.  So I got it "as is" after some haggling

I'm not particular about the region of the accessories as long as they work.  I picked it up thinking that my TG-16 would work.  When I got home, well surprise.   :D

There was a benefit of sorts in Montier. They held an indoor yard sale and baked goods.  I was visiting my parents and caught sight of it.  I'm not even sure if it works lol.  I'm just going by what I was told.

Well even if it doesn't work its still a deal. Fixing Duo's isn't terribly hard or expensive.
