48k Spectrum – Local Market FInd – Pickup, Repair & Play

I don’t find many items in my local area, but when this item popped up on Facebook Marketplace, I had to grab it. A machine that I used to have in my collection, but sadly lost during a house move, an original Spectrum 48k, with its distinctive rubber keyboard, finally joins the retro computer collection again. It’s in pretty good condition, but some fixes are needed, so let’s work through that and have a play.
