When I first told my wife I wanted to go to this shop and ask if they can fix it she said "Are you joking? Do you believe that the guy knows how to fix a computer from the 1980s?" She was surprised when the guy called us next day and said we can take the computer. He said that the main problem was to open the device!
Cat thinking on best first move

I’ve had to dig out a chess piece that had been missing for days out of our cat’s litter box.
😂

The Novag Adversary looks great! The acrylic cover looks very strong. Here is my case. The walls are pretty thick and can hold up my cat without flexing.
As a cat owner with nice chess sets, that looks like a worthy investment. Thanks!
I could make a video of the computer and post the link here.
That Novag was notorious for its mechanical arm failure which quickly relegated it as a novelty. You know what is said about machines with more moving parts...
