Re: TS1500 problems when using a ZX8-CCP

Before going with the recap is it worth to replace 7805 with Traco or other replacement which can be found on the SellMyRetro?

TS1500 problems when using a ZX8-CCP

HI all. I have ended up here as I have decided to put ZX8-CCD board into Timex 1500 (US version of ZX81). Before I have transistor mod taken from my Atari 2600 but it had "jail bars" so I had hope that ZX8-CCD board will produce better outcome. After installation I have got whole white screen, no cu...
