Hi Larry,
I can tell you one detail: Steve got one out of two- working machines worldwide!

So now it is your turn to solve the puzzle ...

I know I am unfair Regards,

Hi Sascha, Well that narrows it down to
1 Novag Robot
2 Boris Handroid
3 Novag Savant
I think I'll go with the Savant. Maybe someone kept
one under refrigeration which kept the display working.
That would account for the big package that his wife
could'nt get in the door.

Hi Larry,
I am very sorry ... but you are wrong with all three hints. This one is even rarer ... there were only six ever build and just two of them were "upgraded" by the founder himself ... and one of those two machines is now at Steve ... the second one is in England ... and will never ever sold ...

Happy Weekend Regards,
Sascha

Hi Mr. Homes,
i think it is not really a chess computer, i think it is a old personal computer in an old wooden Mephisto housing... :D

Wonder Regards
