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 2 PCB Sinclair ZX Spectrum - Short

Heatsink for issue 2 Spectrum PCB (used)

  • Includes nut+bolt for attachment.
  • This is the shorter type so it will fit in Spectrum+ case (as well as the rubber key case) without modification if desired.
Price: £ 2.50   Add to cart. (out of stock)
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.
Price: £ 1.75   Add to cart. (3 in stock)
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 plunger to the new switch body - it's fiddly though and care must be taken to avoid breaking anything.)
  • For Spectrum+ and Toastrack 128
Price: £ 3.50   Add to cart. (10 in stock)
Internal reset switch for Spectrum+ *Original*

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

  • As used in the Spectrum+ (soldered across capacitor C27 - or at the provided pads on issue 6 motherboards)
  • Also used in the Toastrack 128
  • Tested, working.
Price: £ 3.99   Add to cart. (out of stock)
Pair of foam pads for Spectrum+ legs

Replacement foam pads for Spectrum+ legs

A pair of self-adhesive foam pads to replace those found on the Spectrum+ support legs (which often will have crumbled with age)

Price: £ 0.60   Add to cart. (12 in stock)
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) 
  • Two supplied in this pack.
Price: £ 0.75   Add to cart. (16 in stock)
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.
  • 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!)
Price: £ 0.99   Add to cart. (14 in stock)
Speaker for Spectrum Issue 3-6A motherboard 40 ohms *NEW*

40 Ohm Speaker for Issue 3 to 6A Spectrum Motherboard *NEW*

  • Brand new replacement part
  • Important: Not for Issue ONE or TWO motherboards (those boards require a 200 Ohm speaker). 
Price: £ 5.50   Add to cart. (2 in stock)
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 - these are available above)
