Title: My First Turbo Mod
Post by: fsa on December 16, 2012, 03:48:09 AM
This mod was done way back in 1989. I didn't know any better at that time LOL.

That is truly the ugliest--yet most dearly loved :)--TG-16 I have seen in the last few weeks. :)

I like it! lol.  It's got character.  It says I've been used and loved.   :D 

that being said if you want those guys to come off, I'd suggest:

Try Plast-x for car headlights, it'll take the stickers right off:   note that this is also abrasive so do it very lightly with a cloth towel, and then immediately follow with another car protector (E.g. armor all or mothers products) that has UV protection!   System will look brand new, plastic protected, and good for another 25 years of gaming.

Thanks for the great comments guys, I have no intention on changing it as it was my very first turbo and now one of my spare. I thought I would put something up to take give everyone a break from whats going on over at the for sale thread.

Can we get everyone to post some of the funny thing their Turbo have gone through over the years.

Reminds me of those kids who drive Honda Civics who put racing stickers all over them thinking it makes the car faster.........

Funny or lame ? If the latter, here ya go:

I went through a phase where I loved those gold letter stickers after buying a pack to restore the address labeling in the front door. Then I just had to find other uses for them... There's also some GameFan magazine influence at work there where Japanese naming in my mind had become sooo much cooler than any system title that the US side had chosen... Thus, "PC Engine" was cool, TurboGrafx-16 or "Turbo Duo" not so much... ;)
