You need a 9V AC transfiormer. polarity doesn't matter as it is alternate current.

Looks to me that there are a few still existing.... https://www.schachcomputer-online-museum.de/bildergalerie/applied-conceps-chafitz/chafitz-tsb-4-la-regence/ Apart from the unit shown in the link, there is at least another one owned by another german collector. :o Very rare, but not ultrarare rega...

Replace the voltage regulator 7805 or LM7805 or LM7805C (this is the one with the three legs getting too hot) with this one from TRACO: TSRN 1-2450 or TSRN 1-2450A 6.5–42V DC to 5.0V DC @1A http://www.produktinfo.conrad.com/datenblaetter/1000000-1099999/001086484-da-01-en-TRACO_DC_DC_WANDLER_TSRN_1_...

Hello! There might be a lot of options, the easiest however is to simply replace the processor with a faster compatible one. So you need to dig into the specs of your motherboard, whether it supports fsaster processors (most likely). Since you didn't specify, which type of Xeon E3 do you own? There ...

Hi Gerhard! The EAS shown on your pic has an AVG 2100 board inside, since the display shows 4 segments (equals 2 displays). EAS has only one display possible, also the book cartridges can't be used on the v series boards. (so this is no v2-v11) The dots in between the LED segments are made using tin...

Anyone out there who want to sell it?
Thx, Wolfgang

Looks like they are all in working condition, some of them missing the AC/DC power supply. All of them are without any module, they just use the Leonardo default "built in" program. You'd have to buy the module seperately if you need a stronger opponent or want another program. Take care, ...

These days obviously everybody want's to get rid of his Leonardo units..? Four units at the same time on eBay is third place, catching up closely to the unbeatable leading duo MMII and CC7 !! http://www.ebay.at/itm/251883238855?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1431.l2649 http://www.ebay....

Hello Peter!
Thx. for your post, i alredy came accross the mentioned link but it sadly leads to nowhere.
I also have a original AVE flyer for the ARB system, where the module is mentioned but missing anything else.
Frantic search regards, Wolfgang

Again it's AC/AC. Wrong polarity using an AC/DC adaptor can cause severe damage!

No guessing regards, Wolfgang

All!
Seeking a manual for the ARB AVELAN (checkers / draughts) module?!
Couldn't find anything on the web.
Any hints or a copy highly welcome.
Thx. Wolfgang

An AC/AC transformer is the right choice. No issue with using 9V instead of the original 8,5V. http://www.amazon.com/2000mA-Adapter-Supply-AbleGrid-Trademarked/dp/B00D1P6WQM/ref=sr_1_86?ie=UTF8&qid=1422657614&sr=8-86&keywords=AC+ac+9v+adapter Not cheap, but this one will work perfectly. ...

This is defnitely the same machine...compare the squares a1, g1, f2.
They are identical!
