>What is the rarest Phantom Steve?

well,the rarest Fidelity Phantom would be the 6124 Chesster Phantom
same voice features as the 6126 Eyeball Chesster but without the motion
detectors

the reason for its rarity is simple economics

the 6124 was in a strange position in the market place
the regular 6100 Phantoms were offered for $500 in the US with the 6126 going
for only $100 more
the 6124 could be had for something like $60 more
so buyers opted to either spend the extra $100 bucks for the "full featured"
Eyeball or they went for the basic model
therefore very few 6124's were sold,hence its scarcity

of course its much better to have the Eyeball Chesster for a non collector,but
as a collector ,we search far and wide for these "off beat" scarce models

Best
Steve
