In Sydney, there is a shop Chess Discount Sales run by Peter Parr. I have visited that shop countless times in the past 20 years. Peter may be unaware that he has some possibly valuable vintage computers still for sale. If I recall correctly he had a Fidelity Designer 2100 amongst others. I would imagine the Aussie collector would have visited that shop many times too. BTW, I don't know if you know of the 1st Correspondence World Champion and respected chess author/analyst Cecil J. Purdy... just as a bit of trivia, his son John Purdy became Australian OTB Champion (at least once) several years ago. Well, he bought my Novag Forte after trouncing it at blitz (to my utter amazement). Cheers and no worries mate! Ross
