Spectrum 48K Original Empty Box with Polly Inner

About this deal

This is an original, genuine empty box with polystyrene inner for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, an 8-bit computer developed by the British company Sinclair Research, launched on 23 April 1982. All Sinclair computers came in a polystyrene tray for storing the power adapter and leads, and this listing includes that original moulded polystyrene insert. The original retail box measured 359 x 198 x 110 mm. Original, period-correct packaging like this is increasingly sought after by retro collectors looking to complete or restore a boxed 48K set. The Spectrum 48K is regarded as a piece of technological history, and collectors value original items just as much as working hardware. The box is sold empty and without the computer or any accessories, making it ideal for collectors who already have a loose machine they wish to rehouse, or for display purposes.
