- This is the long awaited update about the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k that I found in the skip. Sorry it's been so long. Regular full time work and Royal Mail strikes means everything takes longer.
Hope you enjoy the video, I certainly enjoyed making this one.
Found the video helpful?
Say thanks with a small tip.

If you had one of these as a kid, what are your most remembered games?
I have one of those!!
Have you performed the composite mod on it? It's on my list of things to do with this one.
@@PhilipBryden I haven't touched it yet! I have so many other projects in front of it :/
@@VideoGameRestoration I know that feeling lol.
Regarding improvements, a cheap & quick one is the Composite Video mod. Just requires snipping 2 connections to the RF modulator and adding a 100uf capacitor, giving a much better picture than RF.
The composite mod is something I want to do. There's a transistor version with a couple of resistors too isn't there. I'm not sure which one is the best. Audio out would be awesome too.
@@PhilipBryden Yeah, I think the resistors mod improves the brightness output. Personally I just turn up the brightness on the TV haha.
GadgetUK reommended I don't pass the signal straight through, amplify it, and... "Just get one of the 2600 composite mod boards (single transistor, 2k2 and 3k3 resistor. Or wire your own." So yeah, I assume he's talking about making it brighter. Thanks for clearing that up, I wasn't sure what it meant. I have a pack of transistors, I can try this on a piece of circuit board DIY style.
Loved my 48k speccy back in the day, liked and subbed.
Nice one mate 👍🏻
Yeah I loved mine too. I'm on the lookout for a C64c next to continue my childhood computer experience. Following that an Amiga 1200 to finish it off.
@PhilipBryden Funnily enough, I got a C64c just a few yrs ago as I used to play 64 games at my cousins back in the day, good luck dude 👍🏻
Top machine, reminds me of my childhood 🤣
My heart skipped a beat when 1982 Sinclair... popped up on the TV. Fond memories. What are your most remembered games?
@@PhilipBryden manic miner, jet set willy, jet pack, lunar jet man, knight lore, Chuckie egg, underworld, and many many more.
@@normski123456789 Ghosts'n'Goblins, Saboteur, Turbo Esprit, Attic Attack, Head over Heels were all great. Oh and the Bruce Lee was very popular.
@@PhilipBryden wizards lair, great escape, ye ar Kung Fu, match day, just so many
@@normski123456789 I had forgot about The Great Escape. Couldn't get anywhere with it. The last Ninja was the same. Too difficult. Back then the games didn't have all the save points like they do now.
