I'm pretty new here... recently stumbled across my TG in the attic and have spent the last couple months obsessed with my TG childhood.  ;-)  (mostly been buying and playing with all the stuff I couldn't afford as a kid!)

Reading your previous posts it sounds like you need cap replacements done on both units?

I've never done it for other folks, but have been repairing my own systems for a while now.  (modded my first TG-16 when I was 14, added slo-mo on a turbo pad and added A/V jacks to my console... before there was internet access and all this awesome documentation... ;-)

Lemme know if you can't find anyone else, I'd be willing to give it a go.

Way to go Kattare! Always nice to see the Turbo MacGyvers out there!
About the coolest mod I ever did to a controller was to install a "Turbo Select" button on one of my TurboSticks. It comes in handy for games where Select is the "pause" button and you want to slow the action down.
