Brand new replacement for worn / damaged power socket on original 16/48K model ZX Spectrum (and Spectrum+)

The mic / ear sockets on the Spectrum (and ZX81) can become loose / corroded over the years making tape connection intermitent.

A good quality, high current rated replacement for the original PSU jack plug.
Remember when soldering: The Spectrum PSU is unusual in that the inner pin is negative and the outer barrel is positive. (Getting these reversed will fry your Spectrum!)

Original salvaged part, de-soldered from PCB
Tested: Decent RF output (little in the way of grain, waviness or flaring - but remember, RF is never Composite video standard)
Also used in the ZX81 and other computers
Note: Always re-cap the Spectrum motherboard before suspecting the modulator as being the source of a poor display.
To save postage costs (ie: to fit it in a large-letter size box) before dispatch I splay the two mounting lugs outwards - these will need to be straightened again with pliers before fitting.

As above, but the RF output is not wonderful so sold as spares / suitable for composite modding only.
