One for Spectum owners

Mods -- Did scan all the post heading and this one seemed best - please move if I got it wrong.

Found mine in loft so thought would see if it worked - Problem I have is how do you connect it to monitor - it only has a aerial lead which in old days went into TV aerial in -

Help appreciated.

Thanks

He's normally good with the retro stuff...

But if your spectrum is the newer 128k version then there seems to be a cable you can buy..

A lead ready to connect to the RGB socket is available from Sinclair Research. You will need to make your own connections at the monitor end, since there is no standard connection.

I trust you've got a standard cassette player for it too?

He doesn't need one, his neighbour is Michael Winslow.

That should still work. My hifi worked back in the day, as did my walkman.
