Sphinx Super Crown ?

Post by Scally »

Hi,

Has anyone ever come across a wooden Sphinx Super Crown before, I can't find any info on it. The battery compartment is missing metal contacts but there is a power supply hole.

Any ideas what voltage etc, and what pieces are needed for the board, should it work?

Thanks,

Al.

It's the 16K version of Kaare Danielsens chess programs as used in the Advance Star Chess not to be confused with Danielsens 4K program that is still used today by Lexibook.

Hi guys,

Unfortunately it doesn't power up, so I don't need to know what pieces I need etc ...

Thanks for all your help ...

Al.
