my personal collection. I have models from Conchess, Novag, Fidelity,
Mephisto, Mattel, Milton Bradley and others. I also have some robotic
chess like the Phantoms (including the Phantom
6126
Chesster Eyeball) and you
can even
watch videos of them.
Tips
for collecting chess computers (or, So you want to be a chess computer
collector? or Everything you wanted to know about collecting chess
computers...)
Forum,
discussion board. A place for collectors and anyone interested in chess
computer to talk freely and discuss ideas, post for sale and wanted
items, trade computers or simply chat! You don't have to be a member to
read or to post but we encourage you to join us!
My
eBay watch list. I keep track of some chess computer auctions on eBay
and here you can have an idea about the price and how often they show
up on eBay. Also, you can see spikes and fluctuations and some comments
on these auctions. If you're not sure about how much a computer is
worth, this may give you some guidance.
You
can own the World's Strongest Dedicated Chess Computer Module! Ruud
Martin has created the Resurrection Module that can be used in Mephisto
boards and it has won competitions even against the Tasc
computers! 
Possibly
the best chess computer ever created, the Tasc Chess System
(Dutch) is still a top unit even after many years since the
company went out of business. Here you can revisit their site (and even
download information) as it looked like in the 90's. Over 90% of the
information is available in this archive. Please note that all
information may still be copyrighted and owned by Tasc. I am only
providing a mirror of the site for historical purposes.
Fidelity

Here
you
can see a list of the Fidelity Chess Computers and Parts that you could
order (two Fidelity catalogs)
