In fact the box it shipped in is an Excel 68000 box. >The only clue that's its a Mach II LA is the model number (6097). you must have an early Mach II the box should have an indication on it that it is a Mach II with the LA tournament program look at my Mach II here: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cpaa2@sbcglobal.net/detail?.dir=3353&.dnm=b8ce.jpg&.src=ph however you do have the right model number so you are good to go > >I did pay a pretty penny for it at Labate's Chess Center in Anaheim, CA.

I promise!) ok since you promised.. the trick here will be to post your computer on EBAY and make it availalbe to German buyers you will have to ship WORLDWIDE you should get close to $350 for it if not more,because there hasen't been one on Ebay for quite awhile by puttung the word "SCHACHCOMPUTER" in your auction title..this will enable German Ebayers to grab your auction when they do a search The Germans LOVE Fidelity computers and you will grealty increase the number and dollar amount of the bids you would receive you can set a "reserve price" of say $300 this means that if you do not receive a bid equal to or greater then $300 then you dont have to sell the computer so you have nothing to lose noone will know your reserve price other then you Ebay will take a small fee,i think it is 4% of the final selling price,but i cant say for certain as i have never sold anything on Ebay but of course i have won many auctions Best Steve >
