SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM 128K CRACK

The first thing I do with machines I buy is to crack them open and have a quick look inside, just to see what IРІР‚в„ўm facing, and take note of any issues I need to rectify. These machines usually clean up quite nicely, being black in colour helps as this disguises any marks or yellowing seen on other systems.

ItРІР‚в„ўs quite crusty on the outside, but thatРІР‚в„ўs to be expected after all these years. This is a Sinclair Spectrum 128K Toastrack, quite sought after by collectors as the last true incarnation of the Spectrum line before that Alan Sugar fellow got his greasy mitts on the brand. I received this slightly anonymous package this morning:Р”В¬ould have been packaged a little better, but upon opening it looks like the machine in question survived the spin across the Irish Sea intact.

As always, you can click on each image for a larger version.Р”Р„nyhow, onwards we go. Today IРІР‚в„ўm going to take you through the process of refurbishing a 128K Spectrum Toastrack machine.Р”Р„ quick warning РІР‚вЂњ this post is quite photo heavy, but is the best way of helping to illustrate what I do without relying on walls of text, and will hopefully make you feel like youРІР‚в„ўre more involved.
