I have a vintage one of a kind Fidelity Phantom M6100. The colors are brown and black. Fully working robotic arm underneath board. Made in 1988. Has EVERY single piece (with original piece box), power supply, all manuals... and best of all IT WORKS!!!! You have the ability to play 2 players, 1 player vs. computer, or watch the robotic set in action as it plays itself. Have had it for a while and now I think it's ample time someone else enjoys it. I will be taking photos and video soon! It is in EXCELLENT condition!!!!

Some History:
Fidelity is no longer in business.
The story behind Fidelity is Star Trek. Yes that Star Trek.
The former owner of Fidelity watched a re-run of Star Trek where Mr. Spock played against the Ship's computer.
When he returned to his office the next day, he asked his secretary if it was possible to build a chess computer. The secretary said her boy friend could do it. (He was an engineer). So started Fidelity.
