I'm looking for a Stereo Audio Video Cable for my TurboDuo.

Do you mean the standard composite red/white/yellow?

What Wildfruit said and does it have to be an original or are you ok with aftermarket cables?
I have a few from retrogmingcables and they were bad when I got them. But I went through and fixed them so they work as intended now. I would only ask for $10 + shipping for one of them.
I don't have any original cables at the moment just the aftermarket ones.
Also, beware of cables from retrogamingcables as they may have issues sometimes. I have had lots of good ones but he last batch was all bad.

I don't care if they are aftermarket or what. The connector is/was some sort of industry standard. The stereo video cable I was using on my Duo went bad (but I saved it if you can repair it) so I stole the Mono cable from my Neo Geo CDZ which uses the same connector. So I need a Stereo Video AV cable.

The best kind are din-to-rca midi cables. They produce a better image than the official cable.

I cut my own Genesis Model 1 cable out of a MIDI cable and some RCA after a POS aftermarket one actually had worse picture than the stock RF. Everything was shielded and I even wrapped foil around the leads before I sealed it up. I think the PCe cable is the same pinout just an extra lead for the red connector. If you've got a soldering iron and heat shrink or electric tape, a cable should be easy to splice together, and good source cables will yield better results compared to aftermarket rubbish. But I wouldn't know where to buy one.

Do these cables have the right pinouts? Ground is bottom or center on the Turbo port, I believe. Color codes may or may not be right, and you could cut off the lead that isn't used...
