I have a Mephisto Academy & Kasparov Corona, both about 10 years old, with similar problems. A couple of squares on both machines do not respond to piece movement, and I believe that it was after I left both machines stored for a few months with the pieces on the board. Am I correct in assuming that the reed switches beneath each square have become excessively magnetised, and would this mean that these switches need replacing, or should I purchase one of those cassette-head demagnetising guns and try 'de-gausing' them? Thanks Trefor.
