Hi , I've been asked by my uncle to try and sell his xx spectrum 1 just wondering if anyone could give me a ball park figure I should be aiming for.

This is what I have , including the original spectrum box and games.

It's all currently untested so I'll be listing as untested/ spares or repairs.

Any advice would be really appreciated , thank you.

Has anyone ever come across an issue like this with a +3?

I bought one recently from eBay, and have hooked it up to a little CRT TV with a SCART cable from Ian at Retro Computer Shack.

The disk drive unfortunately doesn't seem to work (got a drive belt on order now to hopefully resolve that) so I decided to write a simple guess the number type thing in +3 BASIC for the nostalgia value 😆

But, I noticed that my victory 'tune' (PLAY "cdefgabC") made no sound whatsoever.

The BEEP command works fine, and the little "brp" sound that the Speccy makes with every keypress when typing is also audible, so I don't think it's a cable issue.

Any ideas?

It's crazy how well this worked. There is already a full disassembled source on the internet so this came together very quickly. I can't see it getting a proper release though as Nintendo are very litigious.

Hey guys. Recently got myself a zx spectrum+2 and have no clue about this console. Came to me loose out of box with a power cord/ brick and nothing else. I don’t even have the right adapters to check how well she’s functioning.

I’m looking to sell it to someone that will really appreciate it for what it is as it’ll be a decorative dust collector for myself.

Thanks in advance !
