ON EBAY

been quite a while since i saw one of these beauties up for grabs

the last one that sold was about 3 months ago
noteable about that auction was that neither the buyer or seller ever left each
other feedback..
a sign that does not portend well for a normal end to that auction

the seller  of this one says he could not test the computer and so offers it"AS
IS"
why he didnt test it is a bit odd because he has the adaptor and he even
mentions that the voice feature works

of course it was not from 1962 but rather 1982

another nice thing is ..hiding behind one of the leaflets ..the somewhat rare
Openings Book II module can be seen..in all of its rarified glory

the Prestige was a pretty hardy computer with a fairly low defect rate,so ,if he
got the voice to bark out..

I AM FIDELITY'S  CHESS CHESS CHALLENGER


 then i think this worth a calculated risc..err..risk
