Unfoprtunately I have not so much room and thus must store most of them, and the large ones, in the cellar. A Fidelity Avantgarde, and a Sargon 2.5 ARB, are two of the highlights, but both have small technical problems now, unfortunately. most I use a trustworthy Mephisto Exclusive with MM-IV and HG440. It passed the test of time, and imo is the most beautiful chesscomputer desogn ever. the wooden sensor boards of the Exclusice-series, field size 4x4 cm, must be the most successful design ever in board-chesscomputers. For sentimental reasons I also like the Fidelity Sensory Champion very much.

I agree with you, the 80-90 were the golden era of wooden chess computers.
I also have some wooden chess computers, a mephisto exclusive with the polgar program and a mephisto munich with the vancouver program.
I was wondering wether to buy the novag citrine but I'm yet undecided.
The one chess computer I would really like to have is the mephisto phantom.
