ZX Spectrum | Cheap as Chips (2017x52)

:

Update: The Spectrum is repaired, but all it took was some new capacitors before I attempted any interesting fault finding. So this series will now be taking a different direction exploring what made the system unique. I was donated a rather handsome 48KB ZX Spectrum by Mrs ManCave's father this week. Owing to its cosmetic condition we can hardly make this a "Trash to Treasure" series, but it is in a none-working condition. Let's start by taking a look at the system before we move on to repairs, and the use of the machine in the modern day.
