Mephisto Exclusive Board with Senator Modules

The Senator and Magellan modules were the last produced by Saitek/Mephisto for their range of boards. Senator, written by Frans Morsch, is a strong program, with a current Elo rating of 2101 (Source - Selective Search).

Everything is in good condition. The modules and board are working perfectly.

Tryom CC-700 1 15 x 15

Tryom CC-700 Electronic Chess

A calculator style chess computer dating from 1981. Very retro. The program seems to have its origins in the Compuchess stable. The display is Boris Diplomatesque. The company Tryom Inc. also made at least one type of calculator and a Backgammon game called Omar.

This Electronic Chess is complete with box, manual, chess board and pieces as shown in the photo and is working correctly. It runs from a 9V battery or adaptor (not supplied).

 

 

Excalibur Deluxe Talking Touch Chess

Not many worthwhile chess computers have been added to the ranks in the 21st century but this is one of them. Thanks to its portability, touchscreen and stylus, range of features, 1611 Elo rating (Schachcomputer.info), voice (English, French, German), and modest price it all adds up to an attractive portable option. Unfortunately retailers no longer seem to have any for sale.

This example is in very good condition and works perfectly on just two ‘AAA’ batteries. It comes with the case, stylus and manual.

CXG Advanced Star Chess

This one is in good condition, though there is a small chip missing from the plastic piece compartment lid. It is working well and comes with the perspex lid and manual. It operates off a 9V battery or adaptor (not supplied).

Price - £25

Fidelity Prestige

This Prestige is in full working order and good condition. It is an early example (Serial Number 193) and therefore has the original Dan & Kathe Spracklen Prestige program from 1982 running at 4MHz, rather than the later Budapest program.  A PC16 Openings cartridge gives it an opening book of 16,000 half moves.

In its day the Prestige was the highest rated, best featured, and most luxurious chess computer available (Elo 1688 - Selective Search). It is still a great pleasure to play against it today.

For technical details see
http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Fidelity_Prestige

This Prestige comes with the chess pieces, power supply (original USA type) and manual all as shown in the photographs. It is available for Swap only.

All of the chess computers for sale or swap are 100% fully functioning, unless specifically stated.
If a problem arises which is not referred to above I will either refund the full purchase price or sort out some mutually satisfactory outcome with you.

The prices quoted do not include the cost of shipping, which in Western Europe is typically between £10 (for small items) and £30 (for the large boards). Shipping to distant parts of the World eg South America can be two or three times that amount.
