Unfortunately I have lost my Phantom Force pieces.
If anyone has a spare set willing to sell to me, I would be very grateful.

Re: Phantom Force Pieces Wanted
Hi Bryan,
Isn't it possible to use the pieces of another Excalibur model? For instance those of the Saber IV / model 901E-4 have strong magnets, so might be suitable?
On the other hand: I had a defect Phantom Force, left it with someone who repaired some chess computers for me. I could ask if he still has them.
Regards, Paul

Re: Phantom Force Pieces Wanted
Thanks Paul
I have tried other Excalibur pieces but the trouble is that most of the magnets have been put into the base facing the wrong polarity and start jumping around when the internal mechanism tries to move it.
Unfortunately I cannot remove the magnets to turn them around due to them being in the base very tight without breaking the base.
I did have a spare set but I gave them to Al (Scally) when he lost his set!!
I have this week sent for some neodymium magnets to glue onto the bottom of another Excalibur set. Plus I do have a small silver & gold magnetic set that actually works.
So many thanks for the offer but I'm sure the new magnets will hopefully do the trick.
Robotic regards
Bryan
