15 Ohm Resistor for R62

15 Ohm Resistor 

  • Used at R62 - Can easily burn out especially if there has been smoke / problems with TR4/TR5
  • Symptoms when bad: Spectrum essentially OK but very dark / no / monochrome video (and unnaffected by trimmers on issue TWOs). Pin 14 of LM1889 (IC14) is a lot lower than 12v.

Heatsink for Issue 3 and above PCB Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Heatsink for issue 3-6A Spectrum PCB

  • Original, used part in good condition.
  • Includes standard slotted 4BA cheesehead bolt, shake-proof washer, insulating washer and nut.
  • When fitting: Bolt passes through washer, then 7805, then heatsink, then PCB, then insulating washer (only required if your board has nearby traces, EG: the 6A), then nut.
  • Note: 4S (Samsung made) boards used a brass Philips head screw, this isn't particularly important but I have those listed above if required.

Internal reset switch for Spectrum+ *New*

New internal reset switch for Spectrum+ or Toastrack 128

  • Brand new
  • Same as original reset switch but has a light grey plunger instead of brown/black (Note: if you have an original reset switch that has gone bad, you can actually swap the original plunger to the new switch body by gently tilting it to the side until it comes out (care must be taken to avoid breaking anything.)
  • For Spectrum+ and Toastrack 128
Price: £ 3.50   Add to cart. (4 in stock)
Internal reset switch for Spectrum+ *Original*

An original internal reset switch for Spectrum+ (used) and Toastrack 128

Pair of trimmer pots for Issue 2 Spectrum PCBs

A pair of 2.2K trimmers (variable resistors)

  • As used on Issue TWO Spectrum PCB for adjusting colour output  (the old trimmers can become intermittent and unreliable)

Replacement DC jack plug for Spectrum UK1400 PSU

Replacement DC Jack plug for Spectrum PSU

  • A good quality, high current rated replacement for the original PSU jack plug.

Speaker module for Spectrum Issue 2 PCB - 200 ohms

New speaker module for Issue 2 (only) ZX Spectrum motherboard

  • With suitable 200 Ohm speakers seemingly impossible to source new, I've designed a replacement module. It uses a standard low impedence small speaker but with a buffer and amplifier so that it still presents a ~200 Ohm load to the Spectrum.
  • For Issue 2 boards only (from Issue 3 onwards, a 40 Ohm speaker was used - see below)
Price: £ 5.50   Add to cart. (10 in stock)
Speaker module for Spectrum Issue 3-6 PCB - 40 ohms

New speaker module for Issue 3-6 ZX Spectrum motherboard

  • A replacement module for the original 40 Ohm speaker as used on Issue 3 boards onwards
  • Not suitable for Issue 1 and 2 Spectrums which used a 200 Ohm speaker, see above for those.
