Yes it’s removable but a bit tricky to get into the SC main board. I’ve removed the rechargeable batteries on my SC , Connie and Connie 3.6. Did it about 5 years back. You are selling yours so probably not worth messing with it. If it does not sell and you decide to keep it get back to us and and we...

432 Euros..! I thought maybe half that.
To my knowledge the 10mhz Polgar was the only 6502 powered program to break the 2000 Elo barrier.
No problem, we can just wait five years for the next 10 mhz Polgar to come along.
BTW, was the buyer (or seller) anyone here?

Just remember when you advertise it as ‘complete’, buyers will assume that means what it says, ie, the original box is included. Also included is the flexible plastic strip that the manufacturer provided to place over the menu selections to give options, eg, to modify the opening book. The Super Con...

You don’t often see them, to put it mildly.
Thought it worth a mention.

Hi Nick, good to have you back. Out of curiosity I asked myself that question. The answer for me is Chess Genius by Richard Lang. I paid good dollars for it and it came on a 1.4 mb disc, and if you somehow botched it you got three “lives”, meaning you had two more installs. After that, tough luck. I...

Al has also been on my mind lately, because I knew of his condition. Sincere condolences
to his loved ones.

Season’s greetings to all. Stay safe…

Looks in very good ‘collector’ condition. It is the earlier Turbo King, not
the later Turbo King 2, according to the box. Still it’s good value if you
can fluke it at a good price.

For what it’s worth…best of luck.

Thanks Bryan, good to know what to do if there’s a problem in the years ahead.

Yep, click on it and scroll down a bit. It does say ‘sold’. IMO it was not worth that much even if it had been working. Someone may have figured the defect was just a time related issue, that we see so often with old electronic gear. I wish the new owner good luck. The game is visually in excellent ...

Sold for US$1650. Was it anyone here?

https://www.ebay.com/itm/314876743552? Display not working, and the seller didn’t say you can play a game against it, even though a couple of coordinate lights are showing. I think you will find the display chips are in series with the rest of the main board. If replacement chips can’t be found and ...

https://www.ebay.de/itm/264288656227? Rare, but not as rare as it’s sister ship, the elusive Excel Mach4. The asking price is rather ambitious also, but we shall see. L PS I was in the dog house this morning after forgetting our 52nd wedding anniversary. It sort of snuck up. Oh well, it’s her birthd...
