I also had bad experience with Fidelity. Not sure why they wound the company up, but the Spraklens' marriage was also dissolved. I bought a Novag Expert, the original big wooden board one. Although i rarely play against it nowadays, it's plenty strong enough for me and has never given trouble. Just to have a brag, the other month at another flea market, at the end of the morning a lady was packing up and I noticed a chess comp on her table. It's a Tandy 1850. That's the implied playing strength, but the real playing strength is more like 1600. Anyway, $1 was her asking price! Of course, I snapped it up, and it looks like it's hardly been used. It dates back to the late '80s, I'd say, running at a 'fast' 12mHz. I think it's actually a SciSys machine, made in China under licence. It's the kind of chess comp that is small enough to take on a plane trip with you to while away a few hours Lin
