Why is it being such a non-committal wiffle-waffle? After all, it only needs to look back on the past, not into the future. Sounds like this magical Turk used new old stock reject parts from the Chess Challenger One. Or perhaps it is actually far more brilliant than we could ever imagine and was programmed to avoid flame wars.
Chess is like painting the Mona Lisa whilst walking through a minefield.

Your vintage Taro unit appears to be complete and in like-new condition. I like the way the Fidelity logo is displayed in the form of an amulet worn by the mystic seer. An excellent addition to your Fidelity collection!

It’s rather a pity that the seer isn’t coin operated. You could make a fortune off of William Shatner alone.

I noticed that too and being an original packaging materials connoisseur, was extremely impressed by the sealed deck of cards and the factory plastic bag within which the man himself resided.

I do hope Steve has retained these packaging materials in his haste to benefit from the wisdom of this wisest of sages.

Just how the Fidelity Swami managed to hold his breath and go without food and water for over 30 years is a cause for great wonder. Then again, one would expect nothing less of...
