Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K Demo

Watch as I show you my dad's old Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128 Home Computer from 1986. If you are from the UK you may remember this thing from back in its day. While the Manic Miner tape loads I also show you a ZX Spectrum + and the original rubber keyed 48K Spectrum.

Wanna sell 'em? :)

[GameStarUK06]

@The3rdhero No because they have sentimental value for me because my dad had them since new and then gave them to me a few years ago and I still play on them often for a bit of fun. In future I'll put up vids of some different games for them.

@GameStarUK06 now....they're like gold dust unless you pay over the odds.

By this way, this isn't an attempt at convincing you, I'm just making conversation and having a bit of a rant about profiteers. :))

@GameStarUK06 I remember trying to buy the old nes or snes, the traders at the bootsales would want stupid prices for the console, and stupid prices for the games because "I can sell them on ebay" apparently. First of all, if you can sell 'em on ebay, stop coming to the carboot sales and sell them on ebay! Second of all, I aint a profiteering glutton like you, I just want them to play on, not to make money. Years ago people would just dump them there so they didn't have to take it home.

@GameStarUK06 understood mate. My brother and I used to go to the carboot sale 3 times a week, every week looking for old consoles such as spectrums or commodores. He's been dead for 2 years. so it just shows you how long I've been looking. It sucks 'cause all the traders and the collectors take them all before anyone gets chance to look.
