Been a very long time. Only took 5 years but I fixed the unresponsive square on my Mephisto Montreaux. I'm also selling a portorose tourney machine that sounds like an electric motor ( this it turns out to be normal). I inherited both of these and will let them go for $550 USD ( includes insurance +...

I'm afraid to find out, but will brave it and turn it on when I get home later.

Thanks all for your input. Also getting rid of two Novag Zircon's, a Kasparov executive, Kasparov Turbo Advanced Trainer , a Fidelity Travel Master , Kasparov Travel 2100 and a few others. Will put them on Ebay but somebody hit me up if anybody is interested in buying direct. Don't like paying Ebay ...

Hello,

I have a pair of Mephisto 6800 XL computers. I was going to try and sell them but cannot find one single ebay listing for one, completed / sold or active. I was wondering if these Computers are super-rare or are they in the category of nobody cares. I'd appreciate any knowledge.

I personally think that set looks ok on the board. We'll try to get it listed on ebay this week. The snowstorm kept us out of the office for most of last week and got a little behind.

Just played a game against it and the machine appears to work perfectly. The only downer I need to put out ther...

Hello, I am trying to sell a couple Novag Super Experts and a Connie. Hello Chessbama, Is that a basic Connie (2.0 MHz or 3.6 MHz), a Super Connie, or a Connie Expert? I have a Connie Expert and it runs fine on a Enercell 9V, 1Amp, AC/DC adapter that I bought at RadioShack. I've never heard of any ...

Appreciate all of the helpful information!

Thank you

Hello, I am trying to sell a couple Novag Super Experts and a Connie. They all take 8.5 v adapters that I cannot find anywhere. Radioshack has been able to produce adapters for me that works with the Saitek models but no luck with the older Novags. I will be eternally grateful if somebody can provid...

Thank you for taking the time to produce such an informative post. If any of you need anything from House of Staunton/ USCF sales, send us an e-mail and I'll try to get you a break on pricing as your info is hard to come by.

Thanks for all of the helpful information. I'm a bit of a novice at this dedicated computer stuff.

Hello, I've come across a Hegener & Glaser TK20 Turbokit at work ( House of Staunton ) and after much googling, have finally figured out what it does. Not asking for any concrete commitments of course but thinking about throwing it up on Ebay ( possibly to sell with a Portorose 68030 ). Does any...

Hello, I was wondering if anybody had a lead on where I could find replacement pieces for a Portorose 68030. Found a store in Europe that will send nice wooden pieces that will work, but was hoping to find something really close to originals. We're about to list on on Ebay ( HOS ) and was considerin...
