Default Re: Sinclair Super IC-12

Ah yes,

I had one of these. It formed part of our mackled-up record player (deck clamped in the vice in the shed, arm made from a piece of balser wood etc). I used a car battery to power it.

Regrettably, despite being suitably fused, it went up in smoke not long after I'd put it into service. Less than several days I think.

Sinclair kindly sent me another and that went exactly the same way. I guess it must have been my fault in some way (probably too low impedace load or something).

Shame really, it was quite something in its day.

I'd love to find another.

Regards,


Andy
PS I think I have the original instructions somewhere (wasn't it a long but narrow book)?
