many thanks for a detailed response. Can you still buy additional cartridges to Conchess? I am over 70 years old and is only now in my old age interested in especially old wooden computers. I'm from Denmark and I am looking for machines to buy. Currently I have a Memphis mmIV, Sphinx CGX 3018 and Conchess Ambassador, and several plastic computers. I have plans to sell most of the machines when they are restored and I will keep only one single - the one I am most pleased with. In Denmark, the interest for Chess Computers are very little, therefor I often buy machines very cheap. Thanks for the answer ...
