A Mephisto Exclusive Van 32
strangely the seller is not the HOS but a different sellers name and location...
the auction description pretty much uses the same exact wording and format as their previous two auctions(above)
could be just a copy and past job by a different seller I guess

Thanks for any answers
i posted about that auction in another thread
Well ..if you read my posts over the years about chess computer modifications you will know i am no fan of them
you would have to take out your existing EAG motherboard and replace it with this one
a dreadful thought.. that i would refuse to do ..even if facing down the nozzle of a double-barreled sawed-off shot gun
i can say this seller is well known for his modifications
Not My Cup Of Tea Regards

If someone had a mint Tasc R30 to sell I would pay a lot of money for it.

working, then be wary. It's true that some problems can be fixed by
the home handyman, but some can't. Do you feel lucky?...

doesn't seem to be slowing down the bidders though
Bidding is frantic at over $1250 after one day of bidding..with no questions asked of the seller..
I guess some folks....

Hi
Maybe the ad has been updated as the last image shows the display working and Google translates the description as 'functional'.
There have been six questions but haven't been shared. The bidder doesn't haven't a history of high ticket sales though but 100% feedback.
Impressive bidding for a Germany only sale.

If you offered me the choice between a brand new Tasc R30 or the Revelation II brand new - I'd take the Tasc.
But if the choice was between a 20 year old Tasc and a brand new Revelation II...I think common sense would dictate it'd have to be the Revelation II.
Funny thing is if bidding goes on like this, the computer will be sold for its original price....
