...first one I've seen in a couple of years:

http://cgi.ebay.de/Novag-Robot-Adversary-Schachcomputer-Roboterarm-80er-J_W0QQitemZ140311606051QQcmdZViewItemQQptZDE_Allesf%C3%BCrsKind_Spielzeug_Gesellschaftsspiele?hash=item140311606051&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1121|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1318

To be expected, the seller claims the adaptor is 'lost'. Wonder if he wanted it
lost because, on trying it, the machine did not work. Still, it will be interesting
to see how much it brings.
all the best

Sadly these Novag Robots are nothing but heartbreak city
EVEN in the unlikely event that this one works(and from the angle of the arm i can already tell something is wrong) it will work for about 1-2 hours of playing time and then go belly up

i have thrown good money after bad buying 3 of them over the last few years and each time they worked just fine ..for about an hour or so.. and then they break..with repair impossible due to the lack of 1982 parts

Exercise in futility regards
