hi Dick
glad you had a nice vacation

was a pretty active time for collecting while you were away
the Resurrection was released and tested pretty heavily

another  Novag Robot appeared on Ebay(only the second one ever)
and another Robot was sold privately
sadly they all wound up staying in Europe

looks like its up to you to shell out enough money to bring a Robot to the good
ol USA
:))


and that guy you know so well couldnt even give away yet another Eyeball Phantom
well not really give away
he offered it on Ebay for an opening price of $750 and had no bids ..the auction
went bidless two times

>to be more satisfying to me. >

the Conchess wooden boards(Ambassador and Monarch) are nice boards but very
defect prone
usually the sound gives out and the Reed switches tank

i have the boards but they werent made very well

the non wooden Conchess board (Escorter) was pretty sturdy though..

at least now that you have a Conchess board  you can start collecting the other
modules for it
the standard A module will come in the board you are getting but Conchess
released many other modules before going belly up
