Thanks Crappov, appreciate the advice. Cheers
Super rare fully working 1983 uk mb phantom chess computer
Sort:
Yeah its a real shame about the lid, i aggre sound67, got damaged during a house move. However you cant play it with the lid on! Its emense for 1983 tech, sets the whole board up automatically for you and to be fair, ive played chess for 35 years and the higher programs/levels are unbeatable, grandmaster maybe! 😁
It is the same butmine is the uk version, the german and us versions sold a lot more in the 80s so not as rare as uk version. Thanks

That little machine is awesome! Maybe you can shoot a video of it moving pieces?
Will do mate...promise
Do you still have your Phantom?
I’m glad that the mechanical chess computer market is still alive and doing well in the 2020s.
Clweslch ..... yep i do
I sold my fidelity phantom with dust cover original box all documentation and original packing material in excellent shape for $1000 on ebay in the last year
Nice. Ive decided to keep it another 10 years as will be super super rare by then!!
I have one of these in the attic, got given it in the early 80’s, must get it down tomorrow. It’s a UK version with a shabby user guide and mine also has a cracked lid, must have been a common fault.
I got it down and switched it on and it worked first time!
The benefit of a dedicated chess computer is that it is not dependent on an online service like SquareOff to continue working for the past 30 years.
This is not a selling site "Pal". If you want to sell it then go sell it on ebay. If you want to review it then this is the site to do so. Don't be so tacky.
Go away.
