Found a hell of a deal.


It was posted as a big Turbografx 16 set. It came with the TG16, turbo booster, Turbo CD and dock, 2 controllers, turbo tap, and power outlet for the cd dock. Also has the Turbografx carrying case. It cost me about $200 with tax. As you can see with the original post, it was pretty dusty/dirty. Also the posting said it was untested, but the seller told me they couldn't get it to work.



I put a few hours into cleaning and testing everything and I'm pretty happy. The TG-16, Turbo Boost, case, and turbo tap are all great with some minor cosmetic imperfections. The two controllers are ok, but each has some issues with button presses. Probably needs a board clean, no big deal.
The CD and dock was tricky. After some testing, I realized the only included AC adapter (for the cd dock) doesn't work. Which sucks because those are pretty pricey to replace. That's also why the seller said it didn't work - because they couldn't get it to power on with that plug. The CD unit itself actually uses the same plug as a TG-16 (which I happen to have), and does work. I tested it with an audio cd and it works great! Though I'll probably get the motor and capacitors replaced to be safe. I also found a nice quality 3rd party replacement for the dock - here's hoping it actually works.
So $200 for a working TG16, turbo booster, TG CD, and Turbo Tap.
