Looking for a competent modder to do the job. My turbo duo is my baby and I don't know what I would do if I sent it off to someone and it came back a hot glued mess. It already has a region switch installed ( it came that way). I've been looking around and the only person I've found in the U.S. Is oghugo on eBay. Has anyone had work done by him ? Is he legit ? Please someone help me I've wanted this done for a while now and it's my last system that isn't spitting out optimized video. Thanks for any help.

Keith or Turbokon here can do it I would think. Either guy is reliable. Just up to them if they can fit you into their free time.

I can but my lead time is long. Also thesteve can do it as well. I sell the rgb amp chip on my website, www.tg16pcemods.com (http://www.tg16pcemods.com/)

If it helps I've had work done by all three of these guys. all are great. no worries. :D

If you want the best of the best, a genuinely trained electrical engineer that can solve almost any possible problem, go with "thesteve."
I dunno what his pricing is, I just know he's the best and carries the least amount of risk as far as what happens if the modder you choose couldn't fix something (like damage caused during shipping). You want someone that knows how to diagnose problems at the electrical level with probes, someone who can replace whole chips, someone who has most spare parts at hand, and in this case, someone who designed his own RGB amp circuit (which he did as well), etc. Steve can do all those things and more!

Thanks for the help everyone.

Keith Courage is in USA. I sent him a Turboexpress with old caps, he recapped it and sent it back. Fast turnaround, about 10 days total including shipping both ways.
