Re: Sinclair ZX81
Well all this talk of the ZX81 prompted me to go and find mine which I put away when I found the two keyboard connectors had cracked. Mine was a kit at £49.99. I also found the building instructions. The pcb has "issue one" printed on it.
The case has red raised lettering. I took it apart. Found most of the plastic offsets, which are part of the case, had cracked. Have repaired this using a combination of super glue and heat shrink sleeving. I have carefully removed the original keyboard, as I have read a couple of methods of repairing them but I have also sent for a replacement. Have checked pcb and on visual inspection it looks quite good. I am hoping there are no electrical problems but there seems to be quite a lot on the web on repairing them.
Regards,
Ken.
