Subject: Collector's Corner..Photo's of Rare ARB Modules

Author: Steve B

Most solid  collections will include an Applied Concepts ARB(Auto Response
Board) or Grandmaster Series Board(AVE Micro Systems)

this was the world's first tournament sized ,wooden, Auto-SENSORY board

only 4 chess modules were made to work in the board (the first two were
programmed by the Spracklen team)
the most commonly seen are the Sargon 2.5 and Grandmaster Series 4.0 modules

far rarer are the Grandmaster Series  3.0 and 3.5 modules

the board itself is not considered a rare item ,but to have a complete set of
all four chess modules is a goal of every top collector

shown here are some photos of the 3.0 and 3.5 modules:
