My ZX Spectrum collection

[GeX]

Starting in the top left;

48K Plus rescued, looks like something had been dropped on it and has damaged the keyboard / case.
48K Plus empty case, plan was to be build a Harlequin into this, but changed my mind when I got the broken case Plus (will transfer the guts into it).
48K Rubber Key, that is my actual very first computer. It's been stuck in the loft at parent's house till very recently. Has just been refurbed and is like new.
16k Rubber Key. Issue 2, very clean and is boxed. Just had a new keyboard membrane fitted.
128K 'ToastRack' slightly rarer '6K' motherboard. Just been refurbed
[Spectrum Next - FPGA reimplementation of the Spectrum in such a way that the board will fit inside an original case and link with the old keyboard.

There is also a ZX-HD there which connects to the edge connector of a stock Spectrum and using a pi zero builds and outputs an HDMI signal.

Other bits there include a DivMMC EnJOY for loading games via SD, a case for the Spec Next board, ULA by Chris Smith, spare RAM chips for the Next and a spare pi zero for when my fully case Spectrum Next arrives.





Not much point to this thread other than I thought some people might like to see some of this stuff

Takes me back... nice to see.

 

[Admiral Huddy]

yes takes me back also I was a C64 man myself but I used to work for a company that made "Commodore like" keyboard casings for the ZX.. It's how I got into coding.

 

[vanpeebles]

I always love to see speccy stuff

I have a 48k zx spectrum and a DivMMC Future and a zip stick. Pretty good combo!

aye, one of those 48Ks is the reason I got into coding. I'm quite smug about having held onto it for all these years hehe

Cool stuff!

Here's mine out of their boxes.

And

 

[ShiWarrior]

very nice

I REALLY want to get what i had many years ago, for old times sake.

I had a Spectrum +3 with a Multiface 3
memories !!!

 

[easyrider]

I had the ZXSpectrum + didn’t realise there was a 2 + version

 

[kingy666]

I also backed the Next kickstarter and can't wait to get my accelerated version. Think it is looking like early 2019.

 

[Mcthommo]

I would so love to mod a 48+ and put in a new pc and get it working

 

[One Vision]

I still have a big bag of original spectrum games all in the original boxes in my attic.

@Housey would this be of use to you? Spectrum +2 manual

Let me know if you want it, it's no use to me.

 

[Housey]

Thanks for the offer @nicks3607 but I’ve got a nice mint one already but appreciate the though

 

[nicks3607]

No worries - I think I picked it up on one of those table-of-books for a donation, so I chucked a quid in thinking it might be interesting!

If anyone else with a Spectrum 2+ wants it, including OP, send me a message and I'll happily post it on.

 

[GeX]

Latest addition..





I'm done now.

 

[vanpeebles]

Issue one?!

 

[GeX]

Took some finding, but yep. Finally

 

[Housey]

Take me back. Good times.
