Just picked up another Turbo Duo/Grafx lot.
« on: August 05, 2012, 05:40:04 PM »
Just got back from picking this up today. Tested the system out and is running like a champ. Paid $400. Hope that wasnt too bad of a price. Picked it up off of Craigslist. The guy was really cool and said he's an engineer and that he worked at a company that made circuit and protoype boards. He had some friends in the production department and had them make some converter boards. They never finished em and he threw em in.  Pics are below. Anyone know if they can finish these? I already have a Duo so I'll probably be selling it and also any of the duplicate games to recoupe some of that money back. Maybe sell these joysticks too. Anyone know why they made a Flight stick for the Turbo? For Falcon?

Also is anyone going to The Classic Gaming Expo this weekend? Ill be there.

Im interested in those pcb boards. They look like maybe unfinished region switches or something. Any idea?

They are basically the diving board converter minus the HuCard socket, which sadly is the most important part.

Seemed like a PCI slot from a pc motherboard had the right pitch for such a thing.
