I have two TG decks I'm considering selling. This message it to guage possible interest. I haven't decided yet if I really want to sell but if there is demand I might do it.
I'm not abandoning my NEC consoles, quite the contrary-- after 17 years, I've gotten to the point of "how many NEC consoles is TOO MANY?" I still have my Duo, SuperGrafx w/CD, and my GT. That is really all I need. Sentiment is the only thing tying these extra systems down.
TurboGrafx-CD - $100
A beautiful system. Very nice shape, carefully cared for. The system is complete and includes the dock, base TG, and CD drive. I would also include a System 2.0 card and one TurboPad controller. No tap for you, sorry. Also includes a generic AC adapter that has been serving me faithfully for the last 10 years. I am asking $100 and I would ship this anywhere in the continental US. Anywhere else in the world and shipping is negotiable.
TurboGrafx core - MAKE OFFER
A very nice looking TurboGrafx-16 core system. The RF port is loose and doesn't make a good connection unless you wiggle it. HOWEVER, because of this I came up with a home-made solution. I threw together a homebrew connector that taps the composite video signal directly off the expansion port. It also taps the stereo sound signal giving you a much nicer picture and much nicer sound than what you would have available through RF anyway. What it really boils down to is a home-made TurboBooster. I will include one TurboPad (again, no tap), and the all-original AC adapter. And finally, NO TurboGrafx-16 would be complete without a copy of Keith Courage! Make me an offer on this one-of-a-kind beauty! I will not entertain offers less than $1,000. Thank you.

So..... the TG-CD is a complete system? "base TG" it says there, and all...
-
"Base TG" means basic TurboGrafx. Otherwise known as a TurboGrafx-16 core.
So yes, it's a complete system with absolutely everything you need to kick-start an awe-inspiring gaming experience! Although you'd probably want to pick up a System 3 card eventually and get it region modded or get a converter.
I never got the TG-CD region modded because I bought a Kisado region converter way back in the day when they were still a reasonable price. I wouldn't let go of the Kisado with the deck though because I still use it with my Duo.
The TurboGrafx-16 core in the second listing is a completely separate console.

I'd love to buy the whole lot if I had extra money, even though I don't need it
-
i'm guessing no but when you say the tg-16/cd is complete are you saying you have the box and manual as well as the system or is this just the system?
-
I don't have the original box.
I still have the manual.... somewhere.
-
does it come with that cool plastic brief case?
-
No.
It comes with what is listed in the blurb.
