Thats probably about right...  depending on whether or not you have the original power supply or not.

The case is missing both clips.  Very common, but still incomplete.  $50 at the absolute most for the case depending on how scratched up it is.  The docking station I'd put at $75 if it comes with the original power adapter.  You could probably deal for it and get if for a hundy though.

Thanks guys. Ended up picking this up with a TG16 console.  Planing on AV modding the system so no use for the attachment with no CD player.  Figured I'll get rid of it and add some games to start up the collection

Id hold onto it and pickup a cdrom for it.  Region mod the console and get a pc engine arcade card for it.  There are a ton of excellent CD games out there.  Alternatively, sell the dock / case and put the money towards a pc engine duo R system to run jaoanese games and all the CD stuff.  Save the TG16 for US hucards.

Keep in mind that you can also use a PC Engine CDROM2 unit in the Turbo CD dock so not all is lost. I would keep it to play CD games if I were you.

Last I checked you could get a fully refurbished CD unit here for about $80 (if not slightly less). That was for a white PCE one, but it'll work with what you have.  And the CD games are region free as long as you have the appropriate system card to play them.

100% essential purchase.  They're great for homebrew, patched roms, test drives before you buy, or playing stuff that's priced beyond reason.

P.S. - I'll give you $5 for the turtle.  :mrgreen:
