Ya so been thinking about raffling this thing off, but it is not complete...
I got a repro card door replacement for it, from the "man "on here... and it comes with the power supply and a controller, sorry needs the av hook ups, I could not find a spare, having sound issues off and on, but people fix it here :)
It works great with the card slot...but like I said it is off and on with the sound when you play a cd game.
You need a 300 post count to enter.
Good luck folks... I will draw at the end of September as regulars do not show up every day so giving them some time.
Hugs

Sweet raffle! +1 turbob karma to you good sir.
The quality of our raffles are going up! Love too see good raffles! +1 turbo karma for you sir!
Don't enter me, i have one but good luck to those that enter :dance:

Damn!
Wow Sparky!
Please consider me in your raffling activities.
Sticky this thread to show collectards and resellers what is meant by community.
Awesome raffle bud! I already have a duo of duos (one Duo-R and my original U.S Duo) so best of luck to the winner!
Woah! Generous! Don't count me in as I have my original Duo that I am saving up to send to Keith Courage so he can pimp it out. But I hope this one goes to a good home!
Count me in as well. If I win this and get it working 100% my brother will love it as gift. He loved Dragon's Curse a lot back then and I'm sure he'd appreciate TED to play 100's other games
What a fantastic raffle, Tossing my hat in the ring been wanting a secondary system for the downstairs...
Good luck and Turbokarma to OP and everyone else.
OMG that's beautiful
+1,000 Turbo Doodles Kudos Karma, Mister Sparky, If I didn't already have a Duo-R I'd totes be like "Hey." So don't enter me, but keep being cute, it looks good on you.

Damn straight. Major kudos to you, Sparky. Don't add me as I already have a Duo, but seriously, just wow.
Wow sparky . Please sign me up my son would love his own setup.
Whoever wins should have Sparky just ship it to Keith Courage for refurb.
This must be the most generous community on the entire internet. I'm blown away by this.

I gotta agree with you, it's really the best community, the people are nice and helpful(unlike some places!)
Hmm, count me in. :) If I win it and can get it working well again I could use it. Has it been recapped yet? If not maybe it just needs that and a laser calibration. My son is wanting a TG deck, so I could give it to him to play if I won. :)
I will ad you folks later :) and this has been done before by BlueBMW who offered a perfect duo unit with all the bells and whistles :) just want it to go to a good home and get played, poor thing.
Wow, another generous raffle Sparky! Don't add me as I already have two CD systems even though its been a life long dream to own a US Turbo Duo.
Let's not forget Sparky also generously raffled off Bonk 3 a few years back. Didn't think that raffle would be topped.
Wow, that's the first time I've seen one of the replacement card slot covers. It looks great! Please don't enter me in the raffle, but kudos to you for doing this.

I just wanted to say to everyone but also Sparky. This community is prob. one of the best I have ever seen on Teh Internetz and want to also give you all my Kudos for making this such a awesome place.
I don't meet the required posts, but also do not need this as I already OBEY my US Duo. Just wanted to say thank you.
~Ryan
Awesome raffle! Good luck to everyone. The community is indeed first class :]
I'd be dumb if I didn't say count me in Sparks! Killer raffle!
Wow what a generous raffle.
I'd be honored if you enter me for this item.
If you can't find a controller, I'll thow it in if the winner doesn't have one / wants to give it to a family member ect. (You've been generous enough no need to go seeking out a controller on top of it)
P.S. You're my hero sparkster.
Why couldn't you reveal this raffle before I bought my Duo? Fuck you sparky.
Fuck you.

BlueBMW raflled one, and I do believe one other one was raffled as well before this, but I can't remember anymore, I've read so many threads going back to the begining here they all run together. :)

Enter me please. Hugs! Outstanding raffle.
Sparky, please don't enter me, just wanted to say that it's stuff like this that keeps the Turbob community so friggin' cool. You Tha' Mang for doing this raffle. Nice to see peeps giving to the community instead of flipping them the bird by overpricing on Evilbay. Awesome Sparky...just awesome. :wink:
Please enter me, I'd love to have a duo again.
Whats kind of funny... these days I just have a Duo R and part of me wants a US duo again lol. I actually gave away two duos hehe. One on here and another to a friend.
Ahh hell, toss me in the hat Sparky if you dont mind. The US Duo has some bit of nostalgia that I didn't quite realize until not having one for a while. I have a controller and power supply etc so I wouldn't need any of that jazz.
Clearly the best raffle I've ever seen on here. I'd like to be included in this raffle; if I win I'll give it to my girlfriend as she's enjoyed playing some Turbo games as of late and I'd rather she had her own setup than just kept borrowing mine.
Thanks a lot, Sparky!
Blown away by the generosity of this forum...Sparky you're one of the good ones. Maybe I'll have enough posts to enter by the time the end of the month rolls around, but regardless, sexy piece of hardware and kudos again for the raffle. Someone is going to be very happy when all is said and done!
holy shit, that's an awesome raffle from you to give away such an awesome system.
i'd like to enter please!
What an awesomely generous raffle! Major kudos!
I've already got one, so don't want to enter, just wanted to say "thanks". :wink:
Can you please add me to the raffle.
Amazing, I've been wanting to pickup one of these in Canada. I would have bought this had it been for sale, knowing you are local. Major kudos on the raffle.
Umm I would have not sold it, got this pretty cheap, a few years back, Like $60 and the new door was $25.
I have a job, so when it comes to my hobbies/ pleasures it is never about the money.
I do not get the gougers, find a real job and quit fucking over this system.
Ps: some of you that have inquired about this system that already have a duo but have a story to explain your reasons for another, that is fine but if you ever decide to get rid of it I expect a raffle or people pay what it cost you to fix it and no more.
Just remember it was free.. It's going to cost me over $20 to ship this to the USA and I am including that free as well. Pay it forward my friends that is all I ask, do not disappoint this community. That is my little rant sorry (( blush))
Anyone can raffle these types of things off but my god so many people see just the money and will never.
Thanks for the kind words.
As cool as it would be to have an authentic Turbo Duo to pair with my TurboGrafx-16, I have a nice Duo-R that I'm very happy with.

Amazing raffle, very generous! Good luck to those that are entered!
I already have a Duo so don't enter me but mad props to you for doing this.
Very nice to see this raffle!! Obviously don't enter me, I have a duo and my post count is low. Just wanted to say good luck to all the people entering, and that this makes me want to be more active on these forums and do some raffles myself.
Sparky, you are amazing and I'd like to enter as well. I don't know my post count though.
+10 Kudos and +100 TurboKarma to you good sir!
Very cool Sparky. I still have that Bonk III you raffled off. I thought that was a massive raffle, but this one is bigger.
Don't enter me, I just wanted to say thanks for everything you do around here.
Very nice and generous of you, le Sparky. You can enter me..... but not in the raffle. :mrgreen:
cheers sparky! I don't want to enter but turbokarma for days.
Nice raffle! I don't need another DUO so I'll pass on the entry though.
Props to you good sir!

I've got a Turbo Duo yet, so anything I ever would want to achieve in my life is already done. Don't enter me, but please pat yourself several times on your shoulder. You deserve it, great man of a man!

Sparks, you are a god among mortals. I kneel to your glory kind sir! This raffle is super generous, thank you for being so awesome!

If our relationship changes in any way I'll raffle it off for the next pcefx-er to Obey with. I have no need for 2 Duos.
PS: She just beat Ys 1 a couple of weeks ago and is working her way through Dracula X now.
If your relationship changes, just raffle her instead of the Duo.
Ha!! If it ends badly, you can send her to join Donna in my zipper mask dungeon.
Damnit man. Lookie here. Im game.

really badly for that to happen.
Donna!
Great raffle. This really is a great group. I like a lot of people on here and as a rule of thumb I don't like people. Lol.
lots of turbob karma to you Sparky. Dont add me, I'm just a regular guy.
Damn, Sparky I'm feeling wracked with guilt and you gotta take my name out of the hat. I have a Duo and no nefarious eBay intentions or anything, but I know this could go to a better home. My Duo is in great shape, recapped and running good as or better than new. I'd love a 2nd but they aren't getting any easier to find. Someone who has not yet had the pleasure of owning one should win the raffle. Perhaps you could etch into the case: "This console is not for resale. When finished, please pass along to someone who will play it." Thanks again for a truly incredible raffle.

GUILTY AS CHARGED.
:)
What a generous raffle! I already have one so I'll sit this out, but kudos to Sparky for never ceasing to amaze with generosity!
If possible, I want to donate my vote to BlueBMW since he raffled a Duo once before and would like one back due to nostalgia. It's only fair, I think. Sparky and BlueBMW are great members and helped me also.
[darn, my post count is pitiful! Oh well, it's the thought that counts.]
A nice gesture ifkz.
I should point out, I do have a Duo RX for regular play (and a laseractive too I guess, though I dont typically use it for regular games, just LD games) The duo would strictly be for nostalgic purposes. And not quite as old of nostalgia as most of you guys. I got my first duo around 2000 or so. Here lately I've been trying to consolodate down to just the stuff that I either A: Play often or B: has nostalgic value. I gave away my last Duo thinking that I had plenty of other methods to play the games, and while that still holds true, I miss the ol Duo.
Anyways, carry on!
I have a DUO but I just wanted to say your very generous for raffling off one. Really cool.
When will the raffle be decided?
Quote from: tbone3969 on 09/14/2015, 06:56 AMWhen will the raffle be decided?

Learn to read.
Holy crap dude. No need to add me to the raffle, as I have a Duo, but that's pretty awesome of you to give out.
Ah, screw it. Please enter me in the raffle. If I win, I'll s-video mod the system while I'm in there replacing the caps.
Thanks!
Cool Raffle.. Good luck all
What a great raffle. I already have a PC-Engine Duo so don't enter me.
Thanks for the kind words and for your honesty if you have one or not, I kinda want this going to a person that does not have a duo, but will see how the randomizer plays out :)
A Few days left. Oct 1st will be the draw.
Again thanks for the kind words, this thing is just sitting here so happy to pass it on.
Hugs
Updated list! If I missed anyone speak up
WOW!!! Extremely generous!!! A defining moment within the community. =D>
EvilExo, fuck off your one of the worthless pieces of shit on here, your in the same class as darkobob
You know what nully, you show up to push your site or stick up for your people. Maybe you should just stay over there.
Ha, I was serious man, you white knight for your people even if the one is a total dick.
Get rid of him.
My god Sparky, calm down already and stop trying to make a mini "PCEFX vs. DoxPhile" flamewar. It's just an extra PCE related site with tons of magazine scans and a chat box, not an international arms band began it's evil activites. It's aim was to rule the world by organizing massacres, blackmail, terrorism and smuggling of weapons. Yes Mr. President, we're ceirtain that Lloyd betrayed us. It seems that the force project is behind them. Their ability should not be underestimated. Yes, I have someone in mind, let me handle this. Is it over? He entrusted me with the task. The only person who could possibly fight the Force Project is this man. Guy Kazama is the only one. Push RUN Trigger Last Alert From NEC ©1989, 1990 Sin-Nihon Laser Soft © Telenet Japan I thought I'd find you here. I thought we'd always do things together, even when we die. We received a report that Lloyd and the Force Project jointly developed a stealth aircraft. You're not expecting me to steal it?! That's what I want. Spartan has already infiltrated into Lloyd's frontline base, Blue Rhinos. He'll be your assistant on this mission. Well I owe Lloyd and the Force Project one, and I always make a rule to get square with these guys.
Ya I fucking know that, and all I said was Evil Was like him so people here know how much of a dick evil is. Was not about him.. (( points at door))
Still looking for other members :)

What a raffle! Turbo castles in Turbo Heaven.
For real, a raffle to end all raffles, so generous man :) If I had any turbo karma I'd shift it your way for this offering!
I miss my duo... le sigh... I'd like to enter if I pass muster

No, not locked constantly. Just that evening as the DoxPhile wolfpack showed up. :P

Which one is Null?
I'm in
Can I revise my last statement? My Son keeps trying to take my Turbob stuff with him when he leaves. Christmas is around the corner and this would be cool to give him...plus he might leave my stuff alone at that point? Still a cool as Hell raffle though Sparky. I'd appreciate it either way.
WOAH, kudos to you Craig, giving up a Turbo Duo like this!!!!
I still have mine that I bought directly from TTi (I think, if not TZD), so don't add me, but yeah, am really surprised to see someone raffle the whole system this day and age!
Good luck to all!

That would be my pick as well. :)
^ it was a no-brainer :)
Sparky, you are a charitable turbo beast!
Very cool of you to offer this up. Fortunately, I already have enough to game on, and besides, I'm still quite short on posts anyway (shh.. don't tell anyone).
Good luck to all those in the running!
Man what a prize...too bad I don't qualify either :(
Again thanks for the kind words, it's a spare system I picked up a long time ago, I already have one so this needs to be repaired and played.
That said I am going to trim some of the entrants. If you have a duo in your place of dwelling I think it would be nice to step aside and share what you already have :P. Let someone who does not have one to play have a better chance of winning. I think that is fair. Hugs
Quoteseieienbu ( for your girlfriend? If you break up you take it back and raffle it)

dude, that's what i was planning on doing.. <<hint, hint with my post>>

do you have a duo system? you will have to send me your ebay handle as collateral :)
Since I have a DuoRX and the laseractive, please remove me from the list. I dont have any US systems anymore, but I just use an everdrive to play the US hueys now. Huggles Sparkles
ok man, just want to give the ones that do not have a system a better chance.
But of all people i will make an exception for you as you help so many on here.

Yeah, in principle, this should really go to somebody that has no NEC console at all for he/she to get to enjoy a classic bit of gaming history for the very first time with real hardware instead of getting by with emulators and what not. Sounds like whoever wins it though needs to hook up with one of our techies for a full capacitor replacement job afterwards (as well as get a gamepad), so keep that in mind, but yeah, pretty much the top raffle of 2015 right here!
In principle, Sparky can hold the raffle however he feels he wants to hold it. He can add or omit whomever he chooses, and honestly, he doesn't owe anyone any kind of explanation. Being who he is, he is at least courteous enough to give one, but seriously, no one here is owed anything by him. People should never be under the perception they are entitled to enter any given raffle. He wouldn't be the first person here to omit someone from a raffle anyway, as others do it all the time. Free system is free, he doesn't have to raffle anything away to anyone, so him doing so at all is pretty generous as is. People need to back off and just let him run his show his way and stop questioning him. There will always be other raffles to enter. Chill, relax, go do things till then.
Also, things are taken way too serious as of late. People taking things out of context or feeling like they are being attacked or slighted somehow. Life is too short for that kinda stress.

Word.
More reacharounds please.
Haha.. A full hand reach around!
I added a new sexy picture on the first post and an added addition :)
Draw will be tomorrow evening... Around 9pm.
Just played Cotton and the house of le splatter and all works great on her, like I said some sound issues if any at times, and I am sorry but no av cables. I hope there are options out there that are cheap.
At least I found an extra bonus for the system :) hugs
Quote from: guest on 09/29/2015, 12:46 PMThat said I am going to trim some of the entrants. If you have a duo in your place of dwelling I think it would be nice to step aside and share what you already have :P. Let someone who does not have one to play have a better chance of winning. I think that is fair. Hugs
No problem. We'll get by with just the one. Still looking forward to seeing who wins the raffle. :D
Nice raffle! +1 turbo karma
I'd like to enter please.
Draw is still on for 9pm :)
No more entrants at this point.
Winner! Pm me your address
Awww shucks[emoji26] Congrats berns! Do not go near this thing with a hair dryer [emoji3]
Congrats Bernie! :)
Congrats Bernie! Thanks again Sparky! Quite awesome I must say...
I also inquired with Bernie before the raffle and he got rid/what was left of his duo quite awhile ago so happy to see him getting a second chance.
Lost monkey... Thanks for the kind words, I was very happy with the list of entrants.
All of you I would have been happy to see it go to.
Congrats, Bernie.
I think you deserve it :)
When it arrives to Bernie someone needs to be ready to recap it and get it going for him, and also, lather it over with some kind of heat resistant paste. :)
Congrats Bernie!
Congrats Bernie! Be sure to take it to a medicine man to bless it!
Gongratz, because reasons...
:dance:
Bernie's back in the game! Hmph, never should've got out! ;)
Congrats, what an amazing raffle. Still can't get over the generosity of this forum. Enjoy it!
Awesome Bernie, you the man. System went to one of the best guys on the forum! You helped me out quite a bit with getting my collection going, so always appreciated that Man! See Bernie, Turbob the Patron Saint of Obey is smiling on you.
More Turbo Karma for you too Sparky. It's raffles like this that reminds me how awesome the Turbo community really is. Watch out for Nulls Sixpack Raffle though...LOL
I trust there was a no hair dryer clause?
Poor berns never going to live that one down...
Congratulations Bernie! And thanks to Sparky for letting me participate in this.
lmao, I love this place. I never expected to win this bad boy. :) Thanks so much Sparks, and you guys here make me laugh. lmao.. I promise no hair dryers, as the only one taking this apart will be turbokon. :)
Make him throw in a YPbPr/Component output mod while he's at it! :)
I'm glad to see this went to a very deserving member. Bernie was the first to reach out and help me with some questions when I first joined this forum.
As much as I love Bernie I must suggest:

Congrats Bernie and many thanks to Sparky for raffling this off.
Nice to see Mr. Berns won. It couldn't have gone to a nicer guy. :mrgreen:
Thanks Sparky for the wicked raffle. I still need to spin up and get a label set, and some reprint manuals from you sometime soon. Glad to see it go to Bernie. Both of you were two of the main guys to be so welcoming when I got back into Obey gaming and collecting again about 2 years back.
Sweet win Bern!
Congrats Bernie! I am tempted to search for "hair dryer" on the forum now...
And karma to Sparky for the super generous raffle man, I hope when you die you are surrounded by 99 Princess Za's to do your every bidding (if you're into that weird dinosaur stuff I guess)

If you notice, under my avatar, the little signature. I put that into place when I melted the Duo...
Aw, you took down the pictures!
Quote from: guest on 10/02/2015, 05:45 PMAw, you took down the pictures!
Well, they were in my DropBox, but I have since deleted them. Looking back, I should have kept them. I believe someone here has them still tho. I seem to remember it made the MONTH's news in someone's Turbo news page. I cannot remember who used to do that.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Congrats!
Bernie! My main man gets what's coming to him.
Good show, Sparky.
Bernie is back!
Thank you, Sparky :)
Bernie like I said I was very happy with the results :) i will have your new baby out on Monday, take a good look at that repro door on her, it is hard to tell it is not original :)
And thanks guys for the kind words, but I like giving then receiving! Hahaha..ya I said that :P

You know, if it makes you feel any better: when the Sega Saturn was new, my buddy got a white import Saturn, and he lorded it over us - having only our lowly black US Saturns. The Japanese Saturns were pretty sweet looking, I have to admit. Anyhow, I threw a mod chip in mine, easiest 2 wire mod in the world. My friend decided to do the same... but he wasn't exactly a wiz with electronics. He thought he needed to have the system powered on while doing the mod... and so he did, and fried his poor Saturn good. He was pretty upset about, ended up having to get a replacement US Saturn, the poor bastard.
Another one: With my Duo, I took pretty great care of it since the day I got it. Worship the damn thing, you know? One day, however, I stupidly move it by picking it up where the hucard slot cover is, and I push my thumb down into it, breaking off one of the hinges.. I was mortified. I tried to use some crazy glue to get it back in place, made a mess. There was glue and shit everywhere, and it looked awful. I think I used some goo-gone or similar to try to remove it and clean it up. This was before I realized how that stuff reacts to plastic, and I made even worse. Just carved right into it, melting the plastic. It looked so terrible all I could do was throw it away. Luckily, someone here hooked me up with a replacement to which I'm eternally grateful. And now, we have 3D printed ones, which I should grab a backup replacement of.
Anyway, glad you were able to replace the Duo you melted! Take good care of her!
What was your friend's name? So that I can be sure not to buy anything modded off him! :mrgreen:
Damn, Sparky! What a raffle! Congrats Bernie! You both have contributed so much to this community. I bow to your awesomeness.
It was a fantastic raffle! I've loved reading back over all the awesome stuff people have said about it. This community is so awesome. TG16-4life.
nice raffle, congrats to the winner i just recently picked up my duo from a trade...great system and now i can throw away the super system card, lol
Damn Sparky. All I can say is WOW, that was full on massive generous! My hat tips to you, sir. Makes me wish I'd been more active :lol: Good on you! +500 turbokarma points!
And congrats to you, Bernie!
Congrats Bernie!
That is very generous of you Sparky.

So many new users lately, yet so few posts.
I really do wonder why this forum is dead half the time.

Normally I despise "Best of 2015" bullshite that we are bombarded with at this point in the year...
But, I agree, garrethohman is certainly a contender for BEST POST with his gem.
Wow what a nice giveaway! Its good to see you guys are still doing these raffles... especially when these things aren't getting any cheaper! Its been a while but i think i remember Bernie so its good an established member won.
