Fidelity Chess Challenger 10 C

Post by X__Gandalf__X »

I've just taken delivery of an E-Bay purchase - 3 Fidelity chess computers.
Two of them are complete and work fine.
The third one is Fidelity Chess Challenger 10 C.
There is no mains lead with it. It has a none removable lead attached with a connection at the end that I'm not familiar with. (To be fair to the seller, this was made clear in the E-Bay listing.)
It has 2 metal parts, one cylindrical and the other oblong.

Can anybody who knows about these please let me know what I need to get it up and running? Thanks.

does the lead look like this:

I think this was how the CC10 was sold in Europe
In the States the power connection had a lead which plugged directly into the wall outlet

Misleading Leads Regards

I might have a spare charger wth this connection, as I have a few CC10 spares, click on ‘My Chess Computers’ in my Signature. I’m away in 2 mornings time and have too much to do tomorrow, but will have a look when I get back if you like?


Cheers,

Al.
