Boxed Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128k +3 disk Computer + manual, Scart lead +14 games

About this deal

This is a used, boxed Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K +3, which replaced the cassette drive with a built-in 3-inch floppy disk and runs a Zilog Z80A processor at 3.5MHz with 128K of RAM. It is the only Spectrum model capable of running the CP/M operating system without additional hardware, and features three-channel audio via the AY-3-8912 chip, MIDI compatibility, an RS-232 serial port, and an RGB monitor port. Aimed at retro computing enthusiasts and collectors, this is a complete package including the original box, manual, a Scart lead for a clean RGB picture on a modern television, and 14 games. The machine can run the vast majority of software written for the 48K and 128K Spectrum, giving access to a huge games library. Buyers should be aware that many +3 units have non-working disk drives, as the drive belts tend to self-destruct over time. It is always worth confirming the drive has been tested before purchase.
