Turbo Express Glass Lens

[SmokeMonster]

Just when I thought my tricked out Turbo Express had everything, I found these new glass lenses being sold on eBay. They're legitimate glass and very well crafted. F*N excellent! It's the best $20 I've spent in gaming in a while.

Mods to my Turbo Express:
3.5" LCD Screen
7314 RGB Amp & mini DIN-9 jack
Controller Port - 1-5 players
Composite Video & Stereo Out via Headphone Jack
Recapped - 105°C/long-life caps
New Speaker - 28mm 0.5w hm
Glass lens

Tip: To get sharp, noise-free video like mine, you need to use shielded 75ohm video cable (any yellow RCA works as a donor) inside and ground the shielding on both ends. This corrects the video noise, color noise, and rolling bars that are common on LCD Turbo Express and Nomad mods. It made a night and day difference on this TE and I originally thought that something was wrong with it. I'm talking about the composite video cable to the LCD.

Nice and thick


Installed--like looking at stained glass


The old plastic lens pops right off and the new lens snaps in perfectly. No need to open the TE to install it.

Added more pics. The only thing to notice is that since the new bezel is thinner to suit 3.5" LCDs, your old cut may now be visible. You can see that I have a strip to trim across the bottom edge of the case inside now that was covered by the old bezel.

Looks real nice SM. I need to get an Express one of these days.

Awesome, do they have the same for the GT?

Also, who did all your mods? Looking to get the same mods to my GT

The seller I bought from only carries TE, but TG16PCEMods.com offers both TE & GT lenses at a reduced price, as well as a useful cutting template: https://tg16pcemods.ecwid.com/#!/Tu...cment-Screen-with-Logo/p/109056065/category=0

I did the easy stuff (recap, etc) myself, and the (extremely) complex stuff was done by thesteve at http://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php He's in the US and is extremely reasonable. I still think I'm the only person on earth with an RGB amped TE.

The American Turbo Express was a much beloved console of mine growing up.

Now if I had to own a portable, I'd go Japanese LT because you can hook it up to a CDROM2 unit.

That looks amazing. I miss my GT, someone stole it. Bought cheap, worked great barring low audio due to caps, sent it to someone locally for repairs and they disappeared off the face of the earth, with my GT.

Would love an LT but that's not going to happen, crazy expensive.
