This is on the topic of modding a TG-16 or Duo to play imports (for US or for JAP). It requires a 8PDT switch.
I have been making contacts with Senior Industries who makes a
very good 8PDT, it has a nice right angle design that makes it very easy
to install (opposed to push button or "flat" 8PDT swtiches). I like this
switch much better than the E-Switch 8PDT's that are no longer
available. This is for 82MS2R1 (silver contacts)

If you visit my webpage, you will see how this design makes it easier to
fit in a console

The minimum order quantity is 77, so I need to sell as many as possible.
The other thing is they are made from the factory by Senior Industries,
and it will take about 8-10 weeks to have them manufactured. I will
require a down payment while the order is being processed.
Here is the discount rate for silver (82MS2R1):
1-4 $6.50
5-10 $5.50
11-15 $5.00
16-19 $4.25
20+ $3.75
Now if you don't like the wait time, I can obtain gold switches that are
available to order right now (no wait time), but the cost is higher.
Here are the discount rates for the gold (82MS2R3):
1-4 $7.25
5-10 $6.25
11-15 $6.00
16-19 $5.75
20+ $5.50
Keep in mind there will also be a small shipping cost. So reply back to
my email and let me know what quantity you are interested in ordering. I
will let everyone know if we have enough orders to go through with the
order. Everyone needs to decide on the same switch since it is unlikely
that we will get 77 orders of both types. This is your chance to get the
best design for 8PDT. Even if you aren't planning right now to get a
switch, you may want one down the road.
I am a reputable seller on ebay (vtec-typer) and paypal
(ebayauctionz@sbcglobal.net). You can also talk to other members from the Turbolist (http://joyce.eng.yale.edu/~bt/turbo/)
that I have dealt with. If you are planning to install this
yourself, I can be a resource for you durring your install. I have done
TG-16's and Duo's. If you have a Japanese system, there is one extra
step to play US games.

Hope I'm still down for 7-10! Thanks!
ok, don't have quite enough orders yet, but I am going to start posting on other turbo related forums. Please spread the word so I can get a large enough order.
Is there still any interest in this? I could go in for 10.
Well I almost have enough for an order. Would you guys mind the lead time for the silvers? The silvers work just fine for this project, gold isn't really necessary. You really can't find a better 8PDT switch out there, and who know's how much longer they will be making these.
Yes! Let me know when they're ready. I still need five! :lol:
Lead time is fine by me, just say when and where to send.
is it too late to asking one and is this only for Turbo Duo as I have PC Engine Duo?
cheers

Same here, man.

not too late to ask because order hasn't been placed yet. This switch will work for any PC-Engine or Turbgrafx/Duo. For the PC Engines you need to add one extra step found on the main page of this website.
Erik, I'm still on-board for this.

You can have 11 for the price of ten. ;)
Anyways, put me down for five.

I will need at least one or two...

cheers
