This is a fully working and tested Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k
All the keys on the keyboard work, all the connectors on the back are clean and work, there is a kempston joystick interface and two joysticks (please note one of these joysticks needs a bit of TLC as it seemed to be going around in circles in ‘trans-am’ game).
There is also a little bit of peeling to the black paint on the bottom left corner of the computer (see photos)
The complete contents are:
The spectrum as detailed above
Kempston joystick interface
2 joysticks
WHSmith computer compatible tape player
There are 9 original tapes, including:
Atic Atac
Trans-am
Avalon
Horizons
3D-Tanx
Starstrike 2
3D Tank duel
Zipper Flipper
VU-3D
Also 11 other tapes with an assortment of content, I will include these as even if none of the many games (like jetpac, scrabble etc work, they will be useful as blank tapes).
There are also a selection of books, including:
ZX Spectrum BASIC programming book
‘Games to play on your spectrum’ book
ZX Spectrum introduction book
Cambridge colour collection - 20 programs for your spectrum
Computer battle games
Computer space games
ZX Spectrum software and peripherals catalogue
Other things that are included are the TV lead, the leads for sound to the tape and also power supplies for the spectrum (original power supply) and power for the tape.
All in all a comprehensive setup, one that I have had working and enjoyed the nostalgic visit to my childhood.
It is hard to put a price on this much stuff, so I’m going to let eBay set the price by running as an auction.
There will also be an initial Buy It Now price.
Postage will be £6.99, this item will be incredibly well packed and I will also guarantee 100% it works or a full refund will be given (not including the joysticks as I have mentioned they do need some TLC).
