In which I take a working ZX Spectrum and make it work a bit more!

The work carried out to restore this old computer to its former glory - A Composite mod. Replace the capacitors. Install a switching voltage regulator. Desocket the ULA and fit a heatsink. Tuning the display output.
And have a lovely chat with lovely fellow anti-YouTuber SuperJimtendo!
