in the thread there is a closeup of the screen and a video of the Savant In Action
I saw the link for the picture, but I can't open it. But, the video was very helpful! I think I know how to reproduce the modification, so I won't be ignoring those eBay listings for Savants that occasionally pop up.
I tried to ask the seller to post a picture of the board switched on, just to see if the display works.
Here ebay's feedback:

Going thru my chess life magazines I found that there was a version of EAG 2100 with voice. How can you tell them apart??
900 US dollars for this computer still expensive regards.
Mike
most EAG 2100's had the voice
in fact it was the last model in the EAG series with the voice
you cant tell the difference cosmetically
the model number is 6088 for voice 2100
voiceless 2100 is 6089
would be best to simply ask a seller if the computer speaks when it is first turned on
but we still have the "untested" hoax
and the price of course is beyond reason
2 Out Of 3 Is Bad Regards

Actually I do happen to have a spare set of Avant Garde pieces, and
a suitable adaptor. I considered making an offer, but noticed the
seller ships only to USA. One thing in favour is that this comp has
a proprietary adaptor fitting, so there's a slim chance it copped too
much voltage. It's a fair bet that it does have some problems, starting
with bad reeds. A bit of a line ball.

the square shouldnt be too hard to fix....
but then you can look forward to a broken arm as it will go bad in about 2-4 Hrs of playing time

Well the defective Robot sells for $1550
continuing the trend that broken chess computers sell for top dollar on Ebay these days
at least the buyer can look forward to spending many Hours with the Robot for many years to come...
Repairing It Regards
