Electronic Chess Mk 10

The Electronic Chess seems to have been released in at least two versions. It is mostly seen with a MK 10 suffix, which is the model I have, and which appears in one or two collection lists and on Ebay occasionally. However in February 2008 Eric Belot sent me photos of another version which has no suffix, and is much more colourful. I wonder if this was a version sold mainly in France, the “Fabrique A Hong Kong” a clue?

My grateful thanks to Eric for permission to display his photos.

In June 2008 Sydney, another enthusiast from France, sent me a picture of the box which you see below.
