I remember a year or 4 ago Jan Louwman selling a robot computer because some manufacturer had told him they would take it again into production. If that selling didn't continue then obviously somewhere that stock must be at some importer who couldn't sell it to supermarkets and who cares shit about them. With robot i just mean a very small breakable arm which moves pieces only. 40x40 centimeter chess board or so (could be a bit smaller actually just guessing). For a lot of old computers Jan had when he died, feel free to email the person who has them all now, he might want to sell you one or more : John van der Hoeven <jfvdhoeven1@chello.nl> He will be better informed about this Robot perhaps.
