Have hard are you on that Steve?
On my Chessmaster Diamond there are small plastic caps on leds to protect them or perhaps most of cosmetic reasons. Most of them have got lost. They are very bad tightened.
Anybody else that has got that problem, and found any substitutes to put on to shelter leds?

while i cannot say i have this problem on my RFT Chessmaster OR Chessmaster Diamond Georg, I can answer your first question about Collectors Corner..
of course your question would have been welcome in the CC(Collector's Corner)
ANY topic discussing Dedicated Chess Computers is always welcome and one does not have to be a Collector to make a post in it
Sadly However i do notice as of late .that many here are not using the now World Famous Title of Collector's Corner in their posts about the old computers
many collectors have died and freely given of their very lives all so that future collectors can be at peace to post here under the protective cover of the Collectors Corner
instead there are those who have no sense of history or legend and simply post under no protective covering at all and with no respect for those that have gone before them
as a result i think its time to Close the Collectors Corner and let each member fend for themselves in the very cold harsh and cruel environment
Forefathers Regards
Steve
