Title: WTB - Turbo Duo
Post by: Radtastic89 on June 08, 2013, 03:13:09 PM

Hey There

I'm sure nobody is going to sell one but it doesn't hurt to try to get one. Like the title says I'm looking to get my hands on a Turbo Duo. It doesn't matter what one I'd buy either the regular or the R. I'm looking to spend around $150 for it and I live in the United States.

It needs a cap replacement, the same as any regular Turbo or PCE Duo does that has not had one done yet.

Not a bad price.  Pay the extra for EMS shipping.

I don't know how to replace the caps. Are they easy to replace?

Depends if you are handy with soldering.  There are a lot of them that need to be removed and replaced with new capacitors.  If you need there are members here that can do it for you at a pretty decent price,  this is how I got my done as I do not have the tools or skill level to do it myself.

Normally only the black/grey TurboDuo and PCE Duo require a cap replacement. A Duo R/RX is a safer bet, but you'll eventually need to replace the laser lens at some point with any model. The lens replacement can be done by anyone.

Thanks! I might have to save up for a R or an RX.
