Yeah, every spectrum I owned was dodgy, also, QL was a failure because of being dodgy.
So I doubt you'll get a sinclair wich isn't dodgy.

I'll have you know my 48K rubber keyed spectrum is totally functional :-)







The fact that it was made by scavenging two non-functional spectrums is irrelavent :lol:

I'd bet it'll be an overheating/dodgy ULA. The Ferranti ones were especially prone to this, I have at least 3 suspect ones and one "functions with a small heatsink attached" that's in my current working spectrum.

The memory chips can suffer problems with age in some models too, leading to all kinds of random chicanery.
