Glossy Duo?

[Ninja16608]

Hey all,

was wondering if anyone had any info on or even seen a duo like this before? The manufacture date is 93 was this glossy look vs the matte look a last ditch effort?

Anyhow thought it might be fun to share. No its not for sale, it is my first ever and I will be holding on to this ome :-)

[NightWolve]

Can you take more photos of it ? And does it look professional to you, you sure it wasn't a modder spraying clear gloss paint all over it ?

[Ninja16608]

I have a few more, it looks way too nice to have been sprayed.

[NightWolve]

I dunno, it looks ugly to me anyway from your photos so far. ;)

[Ninja16608]

Different view?  What are ya callin bullshit on Nully :-) you hiding the cockmeat sandwich in your back pocket again?

[jtucci31]

Pretty sure you aren't supposed to clean your console with dish soap. Or even if you do, you should at least dry the thing. Or is this just very tight saran wrap? 

[Ninja16608]

Here is an in the cd door, if you notice even the lower inside is glossy and no runny spots at all, I think it wou.d be pretty tough and time comsumimg to fake a job like that.

I dont know much about it as I have never seen one thats why I asked here,  I figured someone might know more than I do (squat at this point)

[NightWolve]

A shot in daylight would help, dunno how good your camera is though. The latest photo does look a bit better I'll say.

[Ninja16608]

I have an awesome cam. i have to shrink them to post them. any suggestion to show the large ones on here.

[NightWolve]

You rubbed that fucker with crisco. Just like kardashian's ass. Just admit it.

Fantasstic, you managed to work in a Kim reference in here!

[Ninja16608]

Nice, nice...

[madboom0522]

Super rare!...... Must be worth more than a dull duo....

[Ninja16608]

I don't care what it's worth.... get your own collectard :-) no man just messin with ya.   Where's my shell??

[madboom0522]

I am currently shining it for you....

[HailingTheThings]

You rubbed that fucker with crisco. Just like kardashian's ass. Just admit it.

Was totally gonna make a reference to Kim. Damn it.

[madboom0522]

Tou rubbed that fucker with crisco. Just like kardashian's ass. Just admit it.

Was totally gonna make a reference to Kim. Damn it.

And....You are too slow!

This is true. :3

[cho_aniki]

Who is this Kim?

[HailingTheThings]

Who is this Kim?

Kadashian, you know, that chick who's famous because of a sex tape with Brandy's brother? And she has a big butt.

[tggodfrey]

Easy to clear it without leaving run spots ect.  quit trying to claim a rare duo........

[bob]

This was just on ebay. Did you buy it?

[mackdanger]

That looks like it was done by this guy:

Custom N64 Nintendo 64 matching control, blue LED on Ebay

He does all kinds of custom paint jobs on a lot of different systems. I think he uses automotive paint and clear coats.

[esteban]

I can assure you, no PCE hardware has ever left a factory that glossy.

While cool, I don't think that is the case. I have heard of a run of duos that were glossy and very limited. I think I have one,,,can't be 100% but pretty damn sure.

[madboom0522]

Damn it! I wanted one of those..... They are the ones that sing along right?

[Ninja16608]

I want the purple dino duo Damn you Nully always trying to one up me.

[ClodBusted]

That Duo looks like sanded with super fine grit, masked off any parts where paint shouldn't go, primed and then spray painted and clear coated using an airbrush.


Or it is just the greasy fingers syndrome, known from gaming combined with pizza.

[InfraMan]

It's not exactly glossy, but I DO have this super-rare white DUO with limited edition 10-button controller.

... Unfortunately, it only plays Bloody Wolf, Red Alert, and Final Zone II.

[clackattack]

looks laquered to me... take the card cover off and hit it with a hair dryer, if it starts to get a little sticky or gooey from the heat, its definitely laquer. Never heard of a glossy-finished NEC console

[madboom0522]

It would seem that if people have never heard of something then it must not exist.... so ninja tell the truth you painted and polished it...Com'on, tell us.....everyone is 

[Medic_wheat]

Wax on wax off

[madboom0522]

That's right Daniel son...

[esteban]

Dan. Yell. San.

[Keith Courage]

It looks so gross. The glossy finish makes it look like it was dipped in penetrating oil or something. Bleh.

[madboom0522]

Dan. Yell. San.

Ok so I never looked up the way it was spelled... Really?

[jtucci31]

Dan. Yell. San.

I thought it was Danielle Sun?

[esteban]

Downhill, son.

Don, you'll sun.

Agreed.  It's obvious that someone here is full of shit.

[Ninja16608]

Wow, i'm glad I came back to this thread and looked. Man, NecroPhile you really do like to just shit in threads huh. Like I said before it was a question as to if they exist from the factory or if some did a job on it. I thought you pros here would have some info but I guess I was mislead about the pros here. Any how I could care less about what anyone thinks, I was just looking to get good info not a rash of shit. Thanks anyway :-) I don't need opinions, just the facts.

As I said before, no DUO has ever left a factory that glossy. Or with that finish.

Agreeing with Terry that your duo is obviously painted and that you're 100% wrong claiming it's a legitimate hardware revision is hardly thread crapping.  Don't get mad.  It's not my fault that you're consistently wrong.

You have your answers, you're just mad that they don't fit your expectations.  Here's what can be gleaned from this thread:

Fact 1 - That duo was painted after the fact, and it's not hard to do.
Fact 2 - There was only one version of TurboDuo sold.
Fact 3 - Unless you have an official press release, magazine advert, etc. that specifically mentions a glossy Duo, then your hearsay is no more valid than what everyone else here believes to be true.
Fact 4 - You've decided that it's a legitimate hardware revision, and there's nothing we can say to change your mind.  It's impossible for anyone to provide you with your requested "facts", because no such thing exists.  What do you think, that Hudson sent out letters saying "we didn't make a glossy duo!"?
Fact 5 - Either you or your supposed source is full of shit.
Fact 6 - You're mad because nobody here (except madboom) laps up your bull.

Necro your a joke man, first off there is more than one duo, you must have forgotten about R's RX etc.. , second, I never said it was legit I was looking to confirm if it was or not. Third I don't give or take any bull, fourth, I'm not mad about anything other than the fact that you sir, really are a total douche, Fifth, I could care less about yours or anyone else opinion about me or others on this forum.

If all you have to do is be on here and post all the time (half the time hidden,chickenshit) then you need to rethink your life. I could care less about who you sucked off to get to mod status and quite frankly don't give two duck turds about who you think you are or what you have to say. It's pretty clear you have no real knowledge of your own and just follow the ones that do. Do us all a favor and get yourself informed, maybe a little education?? Just please come down off your high and mightier thou ego trip because let me be the first to tell you, it's a hard fall when your knocked off it. Trust me on this, I used to be just like you, then I grew up. I don't claim to know shit about shit unless I do! and I certainly don't go pissing on other peoples cornflakes. Respect is earned, not granted and I know a lot of people on here who simply can't stand you, maybe not as a person but surely as a poster, most won't admit it due to your new found status and fear of being booted but I don't care one bit and it would only solidify it to be a fact that you are indeed a piece of work.

Have a nice day and keep on riding ;-)

Read more closely, buddy.  I clearly said one TurboDuo. 

second, I never said it was legit I was looking to confirm if it was or not.

Yet you continue to argue that everyone else is mistaken - they're just opinions, no pros here to give you good information, etc.

For someone that doesn't care, you sure put together a nice little rant.  There's only a couple things worth responding: as a mod, I believe it's impossible for me to be 'hidden'; you seem to be mistaken about how/why I was made a mod; and I may not be the most knowledgeable person here, but at least I knew this thing wasn't a real hardware revision.

Good day, mr. crankypants.

I was mistaken; the option for not showing your online status still exists.  I went into hiding back in 2007 and never switched it back, but does it matter?  I stand behind all my posts, no matter who is watching.
