For Sale: Tested and working rare CD add on for the TurboGrafx 16 video game system. This was supposably the first commecially available video game system that used CD games.
I did not get the CD System card with this and also don't have any TG16 CD games to check however works fine with audio CD discs both on it's own and when plugged into the base. The CD cards are usually available on ebay starting at around $30. More for the advanced and Arcade cards.

Serial numbers on CD player and base match. All buttons and features tested and working correctly, no issues. Reads discs quickly, good sound quality, no skipping. Some cosmetic wear but not bad. The original NEC HES-ACA-02 AC adapter/power supply IS included but it is not working/putting out any power- my guess is that an internal fuse has blown. Have heard you can repair these if you use a Dremel or somehow open up the AC adapter and solder in a new inline fuse. Am including a second high quality AC adapter/power supply (see photos) that was used to test the this with- low voltage cord has been carefully spiced on, wires soldered, and covered with two pieces of heat shrink tubing. Works perfectly to power the base, CD player, and your TurboGrafx console- and has extra long cable.
TG 16 game console and game are not included in this lot, shown only to demonstrate working condition of the CD add on unit.
