Spanish Collector Video

Post by Bryan Whitby »

I keep my collection of chess computers in my loft and usually just have one on my desk to play with for a couple of weeks before it disappears back again into the black hole.

If I had as many as this guy then I'm sure my ceiling would have collapsed by now.
Pity the lighting wasn't a little bit brighter in his house to see the boxes a bit clearer.

Nice video Bryan
I notice he has the original boxes which is the mark of a true collector
didnt see many rare computers although there were a few...
the rarest i could see was the Novag Electronic Chess board and a Polgar 10 Mhz
I'll Check again

if you mentioned my name on the Radio then i am expecting to be paid an appearance fee because i am sure your viewer ratings skyrocketed for that broadcast

my collection is about double the Size of the Spainaird but Nick mentioned here once that his collection was even larger then mine
