In digging out the room to get to my chest and replacing everything back there was a slight accident that broke my tibula (shin bone), and broke my ankle in 3 "pieces". I required a small amount of surgery to add 3 screws and 3 pins to my growing list of foreign objects keeping my body together. I would have been home yesterday, but I had a problem with swelling and had to get a new cast and such. Before I have to be carried out of the house to the hospital (not an easy task carrying a 240lbs man out of the house when he is hitting you because you banged his leg :)) I did manage to look at the computers and see what shape they were in. They are: Fidelity Chess Challenger 10 Absolutely mint condition. All pieces are there, manual, and cover. Box is perfect. Novag Constellation Expert Perfect condition like the Fidelity machine, all pieces/manual/cover, the box is terrific but has a slight crease where it shows it has been opened before. The trunk itself it being brought to be later today or tomorrow, as I just KNOW you are going to have more questions :) I just hope the next questions don't require so much blood, sweat, and tears... (tears came from my son who accidentally caused the whole mishap by standing behind me when I was trying to backup carrying something...) Peter
