Thats right, raffle time for one of my turbo sticks! This one works fine except the run button doesn't work and one of the turbo knobs is broken. I only ask that the winner pays for shipping. I'll keep this going for until May 25th where I will choose a winner. Thanks and good luck!
-
What no takers? Sheesh I thought someone could use it for parts. :P
-
I'll take them and will gladly cover the shipping cost:)
-
I'll join the raffle. O:)
-
Throw me in the pot. I'm betting the run button can be fixed. ;-)
-
enter me in this please. Don't have any turbo sticks so would be interesting to give them a try
-
Sign me up, I love joysticks!
-
Count me in! :)
-
Sign me up as well, I can probably fix the knob and turbo button, or use it for an evil project if not.
-
I'll take a shot at them. Enter me, please. :D

+1 for the turbo Sticklers!! This could easily be put on the bay for a few $$$.
Very generous! :D

Congrats JKM!!!

WOOHOO! Hopefully I can finally get that run button working, I've been wanting a stick for the thing forever now. My multiconsole stick will work on the PCE, but not the TG16 for some reason.
-
Awesome. Gratz JKM!

Just a little update. I got the Turbo Stick yesterday, and after I played with the remaining turbo knob for a second it also broke, lol.
I just took it apart, and I saw why the Run button didn't work. The mainboard was cracked, and it severed the trace for the Run button. How it didn't kill the Select button as well I have no idea. I scratched the trace at the break to expose the copper, put a glob from my circuit writer pen, and voila, Run works again!
I slid the turbo switches to full speed since I don't have any spare parts to fix them, and cleaned up the case, it's in pretty good shape now! I'm really tempted to try to put in a replacement stick and buttons on it. There's not a lot of room in there, but I think it could be done with stick out of a Neo Geo or Saturn ASCII stick (both are small and microswitched) and some Seimitsu 24 mm buttons.

I'm glad you got it working again and I hope you get many more years of enjoyment out of it!
