Also some way of reconfiguring the RAM. The TS1500 has 16k internal, which remaps when a ram pack is plugged in. This will conflict.

Argh. I did read somewhere about being able to plug in a 16k RAM pack and get 32k.
I guess I will stick to loading from tape on this one then...

One of two TS1500s in my hands has the exact similar video modulator to one pictured above one. Both of these modulators were gutted out to make a room for the 1024MAK/dessony veroboard circuit board.

As for the TS1500 video circuit, find a diode marked (D19) then hook up the video wire to the diode's anode side.
Thank you very much in advance.

Thanks. I assume this would mean I could run a cable from inside the case rather than using the TV Out port?

I use a ZXpand on my TS1500 by plugging the TS2040 printer in first. Works fine.

Blimey!
It does work! Is that specific to the printer connector or just because it now fits?
Thanks plenty for that!
It’s a pity I have just sold this printer...
