Hi Dave,

Long time ago I thought of collecting this stuff too!  Anyway I decided against
it and just recently threw out the following:

Chess Challenger 9
Boris (in the cigar like box)
Sargon 2.5 (with slide out compartment for pieces)

I am still in possession of ???? Wait a minute I have forgotten its name?? I
think it was Prodigy!  There were only 1000 of them made, each have a serial
number and is an official size beautiful wood board with autosensing.  Each
square has a little LED lamp and many years when I bought it from ICD it was
$1,000. Unfortunately I use it still to play chess on it since it is so well
made.  Good luck in gathering your collection.

Les
