Danke, diese Info entspricht in etwa meinem Kenntnisstand, allerdings dürfte es keineswegs danach (nach 2018) ausgeschlossen sein, dass Revelation III kommt.

Senator module - just that
An Austrian gentleman is ebaying a Senator module without the display unit, i.e. only the "keyboard" unit:
http://www.ebay.de/itm/252941507911?_tr ... EBIDX%3AIT
I inquired about that and he confirmed: no display module.
I have a question for knowledgeable forum members: is it in theory possible to use the Senator module without the display ?
In the Master Chess board levels and options can be set directly on the board squares, and the display has very little use aside time and obvious messages. Computer underpromoting would be tricky, though. I gave an Exclusive + Senator as a gift to my nephew 5 years ago, I can't remember if it worked the same way as the Master Chess.
I also suppose that the Senator requires the Senator / Magellan display module - i.e. no "8 bit display" is going to work with it.
I will appreciate any input.
Best regards,
Mauro

you can definitely use the Senator module without the display module
i just tested that for you..played an entire game..no problem
actually the manual describes the display module as an accessory!
i cant say its every enjoyable to play a game without the display but it can be done
i dont think you can use any other Mephisto display modules with the Senator
i didnt test that for fear i might screw something up
Sightless Senator Regards

Ahhhh, that's a nice idea. It could well be.Tr0ntreez wrote: They likely get the wood grain laminate in a big roll like wall paper and cut to size to fit their housing. So maybe even every unit is unique. Who knows? Looks like slightly different woodgrains are used over the years as well from those pictures.
BTW: SOMEONE BOUGHT THE FREAKING ALTO FOR 400 EURO !
Must have been one of those "I have everything in my collection but this" or "that reminds me the long lost unit my grandfather bought me the day before he died" kind of thing.

But 401 Euro is a bit too much !
I agree, it's funny to pay so much for it. But to each their own....

I'll follow the auction in case it does not skyball like the yesterday's Magellan, sold in excess of 500 Euro while on Sunday another Magellan was "sold" at 251 Euro (I am spotting very often fake offers, probably on part of sellers).
Regards,
Mauro
