Just been given this...

Hey just been given this is any of it worth keeping? Both ZX's work so I have been told but I have no tape player.

Sorry about the picture size!

Unless it holds some sort of sentimental value, no.

They aren't really worth anything.

Some classic games there!

Happy memories.

Might stick it all on the bay or find a tape player from somewhere

Lucky guy. Id love to play on a specy again. Sure i could do the emulator route or remakes but the rubber keys on the zx 48k oh my... Tho last time i played on one my fingers were a lot smaller at the age of 5-8 i would probably struggle to type on it these days if i had one now. Ah memories.

YES, KEEP IT!!!!


Of course a Spectrum is worth keeping - especially one with rubber keys! One was my first step on my road to geekdom, and it will always have a special place in my heart, among other places...

Broke about 4 quickshot joysticks on Daley thompson decathlon !


its amazing what they got out of 48k compared to some of the utter garbage that takes 7 gig to install these days.

If you don't want it then don't throw it out! Please sell/pass them onto someone who would appreciate it. I would happy take them off your hands

Still got my 48k in the loft. Happy times.

I was at a car boot sale on the weekend and saw a least 6 tape machines that would be suitable. A guy was selling a spectrum and Commodore 64.

I saw a C64 and a Vic20 for sale at a 2nd hand junk/swap meet thing. Spent 5 mins checking it out. GF thought i was nuts... only 1 tape deck and the power cable was mangled. Guy wanted 50Kr for it 5 quid.. lol was so tempted, just to take it apart if it didnt work.

If i was into building stuff i would SOOOOO buy a broke speccy 48k and use a Raspberry Pi thing in it and make it into a mini computer thing somehow. I mean lol that pi thing in a actual speccy then run a emulator on it and have all the games hehe. Bliss and also no tape loading from actual tapes double bliss.

I have managed to source a tape player and a old joystick for a whole £2. This weekend is going to be awesome. Might wait till I can access the MM before I sell it.
