So I'd also recommend taking a look inside the board first. If you're interested, the address of Mephisto is: Mephisto Service Schachcomputer Landsberger Str.400 81241 Munchen Germany I would recommend first that you contact the people at Schach Niggemann. They're a German dealer for Mephisto and other chess computers and I'm sure they can give you some good advice. You'll find them at www.niggemann.com. Good luck, Frank
