Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 Full Restoration

I'm restoring a grey Sinclair (well, Amstrad rather) ZX Spectrum +2. Turning transistors around, making an RGB cable, recapping, plastic repairs, lots of cleaning, datacorder refurb, adding heat sinks and more. // Sign up for Keysight University Live NOW! http://bit.ly/Jan_KULive
