Unboxing a Huge TurboGrafx-16 & TG CD Lot! - Unboxing and Testing - Fixing Ebay Junk 

Miss your videos. Not sure if you retired from RU-vid or are just taking a break, but I just wanted to let you know that your work is really appreciated. Thank you so much for all the content you made. You've helped me save many games and consoles.

For anyone interested. He hasn't uploaded since January but on a Facebook post comment, he said that he is fine, just super busy and that the basement where he works has turned into storage due to some renovations.( This was posted 15 weeks ago )

Keep posting man. We will watch anything. Cleaning. Fixing. Mods. Whatever.

you easily got $2000+ usd in stuff there. thats absolutely insane. an instant collection for a steal. congrats dude!

Man I love your content dont just give up on RU-vid please comeback

Just subbed today after finding this channel this week. Already fixed two Gameboy DMGs and a capacitor in a Snes starfox cartridge. Recapping a game gear next week. It looks like you’ve chosen to take a break from RU-vid. I respect your choice to prioritize other things in life, and I wanted to reach out and say thanks for the content you created. If you return, we will all be happy to join you on your retro repair journey. If you chose not to, well that’s ok too...sometimes life takes us on a new chapter. Each console I fix I imagine playing with my daughter who isn’t old enough yet but will be in a few short years. Thanks for everything friend!

I know the youtube life must be insane and toxic comments tend to happen on here, but just know you are one of my main inspirations for trying to teach myself electronics and repair! Your videos mean a lot to me and I am super grateful to have them around , especially now during this pandemic. Thank you so much for these videos, they really make my days better.

Fun Fact: The cd rom unit was actually usable on its own as a portable CD Player.

Just realized that it's been a long time since you've uploaded, and I see from the comments that I'm not the only one. Really love your content, and as others have said, I hope you're just taking a break. Your videos are therapeutic to me, I can't tell you how many days of work during the lockdown your stuff kept me company while working from home.

Really wish I kept things when I was younger. Being older now, I have a appreciation for this old tech.

I can hear the hype in your voice for this one, nice pickup.

"It's saying 'just a moment,' but I'm not getting any action." Reminds me of high school...

Can confirm, that carrying case came with the CD-ROM attachment. I had (have) the TG-16 with that attachment. Imagine my surprise when I bought it (it was $400) and it came in a HUGE box. This was primarily because of that case.

Just stumbled across your channel recently and LOVE your stuff. Super informative.

Another crazy pickup! Yes that case came with the CD-ROM attachment.

That was a steal for the games alone, boxes and manual. Can't wait to see you get the cdrom working.

Awesome find! Love your videos, thanks for making so much amazing content! Can't wait for the next one. Turbo Grafx 16 is a great console. Can't wait to find one complete myself. Keep up the great work. ^_^

AMAZING find! Looking forward to seeing the CD attachment working again.

Hey man, its unrelated to the video but I wanted to just say I've been watching your stuff for a while now and you've really inspired me to do repair and maintenance of old games and consoles for myself. I got my first soldering iron of my own today, my only prior experience with soldering is a small IPS mod I did for a GBA with an iron I borrowed. Though I did something wrong and the right shoulder button doesnt work now, so I'm still a novice, but I'm in good spirits and I think once I get my soldering station set up I can fix whatever went wrong, please keep up your amazing content of retro repairing.

Great find! I remember when I started watching you around 3 years ago. I was going often to pick up my fiance from therapy session, and often had some time to spare. This is when I watched majority of your stuff. And now my fiance is with another guy. Time flies and everything changes. Good to be here again!

Adam we need you back bro!! Plz come back and entertain us!!!

We need more repair contents ! Keep it up man ! 🤙🏽

Just wow! Amazing find, glad the lady gave you the option to match the offer since you were first. Not many people even bother to ask or worse, start a bidding war. I would have thought the same with the games haha but still an awesome lot for 100. Can't wait for the follow up video.

AMAZING find and deal. Congrats!

Hey I know I’m late to the party, but glad to see you’re making videos more! I always look forward to them!

Wow! Congrats on a great deal! I thought I got a good deal on my PCE Suitcase at $150. I had it repaired and I sold my TG-16, and came out ahead. From what I've seen the set-up that you have may go for More than $1,000 for the lot (edit: hardware)! I'd say we both did well, even though we went different directions. My other good pick up last year was a Magnavox Odyssey 2 in the box for 25 bucks! Life is good. Great video. This gets very confusing for people unfamiliar with this setup. This will help viewers make an informed purchase.

Hey, nice haul! Very good price too! Congrats!

miss you dude! hope you're well. come back soon if you can.

Wow, I got my TG16 yesterday. Quite a coincidence! Mine’s the less common PAL (Europe) release. Pretty awesome haul mate! I’m damn surprised you managed to score THAT well. The luck is absolutely incredible!

Did I just watch a re-boxing video? LOL! Awesome find.

I remain ungodly jealous of your ability to find amazing local collections.

This was an amazing finding!!!!

Very cool stuff. I'm looking forward to this.

Please, we need more repair videos

Very nice pickup. Glad this stuff gets a good home. I very seldom see Turbografx games in the wild like that so who knows when I'll find some more stuff to add to my TG16 collection.

Wow great score man 👍 You got yourself a turbografx 16 collection now. Enjoy brother and take care of those games 👌

What a score, congrats man. The early CD systems like TG CD and Sega CD are so cool, if only we had gotten a CDROM for the SNES T_T but hey we did eventually get the PlayStation instead so there's that

I love the art work on older titles.

Hey all, need to find some good deals here. And boy oh boy, are deals rare as all hell.

please do more vids dude you are the best channel!

What a haul! I'm kicking myself, in 2008 I found a pristine turbografx at valuevillage with several games but left it behind as I had no idea what it was and had no money as a university student. oh well.

Holy crap. That's...an amazing get!

My first experience with TG16 was with the Express at a Toys R Us kiosk. It had Bonks Adventure. But being a dumb kid, I thought it was the Atari Lynx lol

Back in the 70s I had a coffee table and matching end tables that looked exactly like the one you have.

I think you got a really good deal for what you paid for it. It's a pretty good find. Makes me wish I could one day do this myself

WOW awesome, happy for you. Lets take this apart, clean it and fix it :)

Looking forward to the fix!

Nice piece of kit you got there, congrats! Oh and it's not ultraviolet, it's infrared, the same trick works with "TV" remotes as well (most of the time).

It was definitely NOT called PC Engine in the US. I think it was called that in Japan.

Bro, hope you are fine, love your content and energy. Waiting your comeback very soon. Keep safe!!

Wow just WOW Even at the time you picked that up the whole kit $100CAD that's a steel, fantastic set for a rarer console during the 16bit console war era.

wow thats an incredible lot of turbo stuff nice!

I would have been so hyped to see that!

What a steal, man. Good find.

never seen one of these before but it looks awesome! (and a great deal)

MIss your videos, man. Hope you come back soon!

You stumbled upon treasure there sir! I love the TG-16 and CD-Rom and will never sell mine - lots of nostalgia with this system. Awesome find my man! FYI - on Facebook you can lookup Sparky Labels - he does amazing work in TG-16 game labels; ships fast and sells quality products at cheap prices. Jackie Chan in the box sold for $349.00 on ebay November 30th. Neutopia 2 MANUAL sold for $89.00 by itself...great game. Raiden sold for $316.00 with the box on ebay Dec. 20th. Killer Deal!

Can't wait for the next video!

Crazy this guy got a TG-16 haul for only $100. Man I miss these kinds of deals.

I got a TG16 when I was like 11, which would have been around 1992... mine came with Keith Courage included, and that is a WEIRD game, but VERY fun! Mine didn't come with any kind of carrying case, but I also never got the CD add on because it was crazy expensive lol! I would say you definitely got way more than your moneys worth from that purchase!

Awesome find.

Crazy find. Super jealous.

Bonks revenge and YS are the best games for this console. The CD music of YS still gets me

The case came with the TruboCD add-on.. I bought one for myself in 1990 or 1991 and I still have it.

Where are you buddy? Usually don't freak out but I personally just want to know you're ok. I've learned a ton watching your videos.

That Valis game is a hidden gem

Turboplay magazine was only around from 1990 to 1992 and had 14 issues.

Hopefully you're doing well! I still really love your videos!

So good. Careful with removing the controller from the console. The end of the plug on the controller is just glued in and the glue isn't so good after 30 yrs. I'm sorta hoping it doesn't fire right up its a bit more fun when there's a small issue.

I bought one brand new for $20 from radio shack at the end. Left it in the box, sold it on eBay last year for 250.

Love the videos!

1989?!?! Wow - in Poland even in 1995 CD READERS only were expensive - and in 1996 when I've purchased PS1 and modded it to work with "burned" CDs - CD Burner cost about price of average used car

Nice video👍

$45.95 in 1993 equivalent is $82.75!, while $74.95 in 1993 equivalent is a whopping $134.98 today! You're right: people nowadays should be happy AAA-games nowadays cost at most $60 (some outliers here and there, but $60 is the rule, not the exception).

Beauty!

laser is probably fine. cd drive needs a new gear for the lens motor if the lens is stuck. You got a crazy deal with all those games you got.

Prices here in the us are about to go up for electronics too

Dude that is a mega hall - Good stuff there! Ill give you $100 american haha

Dude you alive and ok? Miss ur videos Hope your ok haven’t seen a new video in months that ok just hoping your good k…I’m bing watching ur videos until I pass out lol

Great deal, but then expecting more from them later for free.....hmmm

This was our first console growing up, before we had an nes. I still have the turbo express. Though the screen doesn't work.

Great find Adam! Any chance you know of places that sell custom SNES console shells? Having a hell of a time finding one and I'm wanting to get a clean one to fix up my girlfriends. Already recapped the board and fixed the controller ports just wanting to get a shell that's not brittle and missing chunks.

MY MOTHER(RIP) BOUGHT ME AND MY BROTHER THIS SYSTEM( DIDN'T KNOWN THE CD ATTACHMENT EXISTED SO WE DID NOT HAVE IT PLUS IT WAS $300) FROM TOYS R US THE DAY BEFORE EASTER IN 1992. WE AND GOTTEN SUPER NINTENDO FOR CHRISTMAS 1991 SO WE HAD HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR THE TURBO GRAFX 16 GAMES. KEITH COURAGE CAME WITH THE SYSTEM AND WE HAD LIKE 2 OR 3 OTHER GAMES I THINK WE HAD SPLATERHOUSE AND A SPORTS GAME BUT NOT BONKS ADVENTURE. THE GAMES WERE SO BORING ME AND MY BROTHER PLAYED IT FOR A HOUR AND NEVER PLAYED IT AGAIN SO MOM KEPT IT FOR HERSELF BUT AT LEAST WE CAN SAY WE HAD TURBO GRAFX 16!!

That case looks like rental case. One of those that store give you if you rent a system. I saw same one for Atari Jaguar and hell... that EXPENSIVE and rare shit)

im not sure if anyone said this, but it was called the pc engine outside north america and in north america it was called the turbografx 16

You okay man? It has been a long time since your last video. Hope you doing okay.

It was called PC Engine only in Japan. TG16 everywhere else. Should try to get ahold of a TurboExpress. Those are awesome.

I knew of one person only who had one, a cousin,... but only had the base unit that same cousin was the only person I knew with a original Xbox he bought new when they first came out I thought that was so cool )I later bought one)

I'm so excited to see the upcoming video, sad that the only "retro" console I own is a ps1 ;p

16:25 That game would've had more recognition if the Mashin Eiyūden Wataru anime was aired outside of Japan.

You need replace the middle gear in the cd unit, there are a lot of videos in YT with this fix, hope it helps 👍🏿

Wow, $100 for all that. I’d definitely have offered more. Just 1 of those games goes for well over $100 alone.

See you in Winter!

Over 1000 in games alone, system with CD unit prob another 500 holy heck man.

come back m8

Need more videos man

yoooo, I want one that cheap!

NEC GANG 💪🏽

I've only heard about the cd add on. I've never a irl one

Turbografx cd unit, i think you need to replace the capacitors to make it work 🤔
