Post by: roflmao on August 31, 2011, 05:24:17 AM: Hey bartre, if no one else needs it, I could use an extra one. I've currently got only one Turbo Pad, but I do have a Turbo Stick and a Tap. But having an extra controller would be nice. I'd be happy to at least cover shipping, if not come up with something I could shoot your way for a little trade.

Post by: Mishran on August 31, 2011, 06:04:44 AM: My one of two pads took a crap on me a few months back so I'm down to one as well. Unless someone else is in dire need of the controller, you can put me into the drawing, please. Thanks mate.

I've opened it up, and found out the Membrane is torn (from overuse). Where are you anyways, bartre? I could pay for shipping via paypal.

Post by: GohanX on September 02, 2011, 08:55:10 AM: Andrew: Do you mean the rubber contact pad? I think I've got an extra set of contact pads that Nat sent me a while back, if you're in the US I'll ship it to you (assuming I still have it.)

Post by: GameFreak on September 03, 2011, 03:27:58 AM: Bartre- I just read this thread after making my own "freebie" thread in the pc-engine section yesterday. That's awesome you did this! There must be something in the air or water making us give away our stuff. Or maybe bluebmw giving away massive amounts of sapphire has rubbed off on us. 8-[

Post by: andrew23 on September 06, 2011, 02:54:22 PM: If it's any consellation, I found that sillicon window sealer works very well to repair torn membranes (works perfectly)! I don't think I need to post photos/detailed instructions, because it's pretty self explanitory.
