I'm selling a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, without PSU. £90 £80 inc UK postage
It's got a recapped issue 2 board, with composite mod and Traco Power voltage regulator. It's been fitted with a new white case, new white faceplate, and new keyboard membrane. It's also had a couple of upper RAM chips replaced. The coil is amazingly quiet, and doesn't produce the usual high pitched whine that most 48k Speccies produce. I intended to keep it, but then I bought an N-Go on a whim..
The composite output works, but the picture's a bit rubbish. I usually use a ZX-VGA-JOY for video output, which works beautifully.
Originally sold elsewhere, but was returned for refund because the AV output was badly adjusted, and was entirely yellow. After the return, I bought a tiny monitor with an AV input so I could see the actual output, and adjusted the potentiometers to get it to as close to white as I could. It looks white to my eyes, but my camera can still see a tinge of yellow. A retroTink, and maybe other AV converters, will show total yellow, as they do for all Speccys.
(Sorry for the proof having the original post's date. I've packed the Speccy so it's ready to go, so all I can take a photo of is a taped-up cardboard box)
Edit: Price reduced. Now £80 inc UK postage.
