Hi Everyone
Hello all
Not sure how I managed to miss this form. What a wealth of information.
I've been fascinated with dedicated chess computers since the 80s. I wouldn't claim to be a collector because I never own more than 4 or 5 at any one time. I have a particular interest in the robotic machines and have owned a number of different types over the years.
I also love the travel machines, with the Novag Micro being my all time favorite.
What I have at the moment:
1. Milton Bradley Phantom
2. Saitek Corona
3. Intercontinental Traveler (the first one I ever had)
My favourite of all time has to be the Corona (which I bought from Dixons in the UK in 1991). Sadly, a reed contact popped the other night and it was whilst searching for info on the problem that I found this place.

Excellent, thank you for that. I note some of the pictures are missing, but I get the gist from the text. Worryingly, I can still hear the reed contacting when I put a piece in it, so I'm now wondering if it's something worse. Or is it normal to still hear the reed?scandien wrote:Hello

Hi Gerry,
Welcome on this forum. Maybe we can tempt you to collect some more chess computers! . For instance the Saitek Blitz may be of interest for you?!
If you like to play the Corona, I guess you can beat it now and then. That means you have a respectable playing strength!
Best regards,
Paul

Hi Gerry,
Welcome to the forum. I think you will enjoy enteracting with some very knowledgeable people with your same interests.
I also have a Corona and really enjoy playing it. It is very easy to use and provides useful info during the game.
Enjoy...regards,
