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!
