Hi Frank. I'm surprised you were'nt happy with the quality of your Novag Diablo. I own a Novag Expert ( a few years earlier than the Diablo) and enjoy playing it occasionally to this day. It had retailed at around $1000 Aust. at the time, I bought it second hand when it was about a year old for $450. It only plays at around 1800, pretty strong for those days,and about the same strength as myself. It also has furniture value,and is a conversation piece. I'll never sell it.It gives most of it's playing strength on the quick levels. My advice is to keep a watchful eye on the market for the old dedicated chess computers,some are quite rare. Novag had one with a mechanical arm that reached out and moved the pieces like a little crane. A real collectors' item.
