lol indeed they dont make them like they used to, i even threw mine down stairs the keys all popped out, but after putting them back in it worked and not a scratch, try doing that do a PS3 and Xbox and they die..
The 48k+ was what i had and the biggest fustration was the cassette player you used to have to plug in via a ear jack, and nothing worse was accidently knocking the player or wire while nearly loading the game.
Dont think todays kids would have the patience lol

the 48K + was great and the hard keys were a huge improvement, but it still had the same membrane key switches underneath so it still suffered from dead keys now and again. They were fantastic in their day!

Spectrum+ didn't come out until October 1984, and I think this ad was from very shortly before (or after) release that year....I remember as I'd been saving up all summer to get a Speccy and then this was announced!
