SOLD!!!
Since getting Duo-R, this one hasn't been used and I am more of player than collector so this set and the nice looking box should go to someone who will appreciate it and be able to show it off.
I am the original owner, bought this new from Toys R Us when they were on sale when NEC dropped TG-16 and CD system in favor of Duo. The serial number on the box did not match so it was switched or mixed up somewhere before I got it.
Last year shortly before I got Duo-R I had to take apart the CD system for stuck laser. Cleaned the rail and put on fresh white lithium grease. I also drilled out the middle gear oh about 1/32" bigger so it'd be less likely to seize and jam or crack. Both drive and dock has not been recapped! They still worked when I retired it and all you need is a working TG-16 unit.
PCE does not fit because of the Hucard hump on top is too tall but with adapter or mod (mod removing the top of the console shell, cut the side of EXT port to fit), one can use PCE and Coregrafx in it. Supergrafx too although you will probably need that hard to find extension dock.

More pictures:

Need more? Ask for more picture please.
Not pictured but original AC adapter and AV cable are included. I am quite sure the AV cable are the same one that came included originally considering it was left in the box for the last 25 years!
I prefer to keep this as a set, but will consider separating the CD system and box if there's no interested party after a while. As it's huge and over 11 pounds without packing material or shipping box international shipping is not recommended. Shipping within USA can run from about $14 (inside Michigan) to $65 west coast. Alaska and Hawaii can expect very high shipping as well :( If you are in Michigan I can meet you in some area (about 1 hour drive from Flint area) to save on shipping
I have no idea what to price this at so I'll take reasonable offer. Forum rule I think requires I put a price anyway so I will list this for 1 million dollars :mrgreen:

Quite a lot of PMs, answered them all I think. 2 in line for whole setup, and 3 in line for box only deal.
I didn't realize that CD system box is quite desirable, I guess not many were kept because of huge size?

I usually kept all boxes, but even I didn't keep the TG-CD box back on the day. I tried, but it was too cumbersome. It took up too much room in my closet.

So will someone invent Star Trek replicator technology? I could copy the whole setup and sell it dirt cheap.

It has been sold and paid for. Sorry all who hasn't PM'd me yet.

Yes it is huge. Probably the biggest accessory box ever by any company.
