I know it was mentionned in an advertising for a Novag machine in Échec +, the chess magazine of the Quebec Chess Federation. I had no time to look for that magazine in particular, but the name rings a bell in my memory (I was impressed at the time!). I have a driend who still has and uses a Super Constellation machine to play. He is a 1600 or 1700 player in Quebec, which ratings we have are about the same as the FIDE ones (you must add about 100 or 200 points for a USCF equivalent). I am sorry, I do not read German, though I would like to. (I have a Weltgeschichte des Schachs book --the #14 containing the games of Capablanca-- and for the few comments contained in a separate booklet, I bought a French/German mini dictionnary!).
