   I've got a Novag Expert  circa 1985, still in original condition
 and working like the day I bought it. A beautiful machine, and I'll
 always bring it out for a game. I can understand you looking for one,
 there's still something in having physical pieces in front of you.
   I can recommend Novag products for reliability, and in contrast to
 the Fidelity machines, Novag gave most of their playing strength on
 the quick levels.
   Being in a large wooden case, the machine also has 'furniture' value,
 and is a conversation piece.
