Finally got a Euro TurboGrafx! Wanted one for a long time but pricey and not readily available. But then on Vinted where I am selling some of my stuff a few were being offered. This one was cheaper and even in box, no psu and a cable though, probably why. #pcengine #PCエンジン #turbografx16

Made in Taiwan. Quality product (I hope). I really like the back cover, makes it look much better than the US #turbografx16, unless it also had a cover, I never had one on mine... I like the grey over the black, but young me would probably have gone for black. #pcengine #PCエンジン

I thought I'd open her up to have a quick look inside at the PCB, but the shield is soldered on. So no quick look. AV port is not the same as on the Core Grafx'es. Never opened up my #turbografx16, so would now know if anything is different. #pcengine #PCエンジン

The casing looks a bit off, like not completely injection molded. I have never seen this before. Almost looks like it was injection molded and the slits were actually open and they smeared stuff on to close them because they didn't need the extra airflow... #pcengine #turbografx16 #PCエンジン

Some side-by-side shots of the PAL TurboGrafx and the US #turbografx16. Not much difference. Physically only AV/RF port part is different. Then of course the colour, painted accents and sticker(s). #pcengine #PCエンジン

And now for something no one has ever seen before...

You can also see it as US, Asia and Euroland all together having the best time and getting along. But with Asia on top of course :)

Some time later... Well, here she is. Might as well make a cap map and recap it. Anyone notice any differences from the US board, apart from the crystals? Maybe I should NTSC-ify it... #pcengine #PCエンジン #turbografx16

Made a cap map (see other post) and removed all the caps from the board. #retrorevival

Finished recapping, but made 2 mistakes. 1. I didn't test if it was actually working before recapping so I have no idea if the thing even worked before. 2. I don't have a power supply or AV cable... #pcengine #PCエンジン

My mother always said too much TV was bad for me, but all those McGuyver episodes taught me a lot! It's working. Took a #pcengine Duo cable, put it in a loose DIN socket and then used alligator clip cables to connect ground and composite et voila! Don't judge my table. Order in chaos. #PCエンジン
