TS 2068 replica finally done!
Posted: Wed Oct 23, 2019 1:16 am
Hey there!
Around one year ago I came here looking for some measurement information of the Timex Sinclair 2068 because I wanted to make a replica.
Here it is the original thread: viewtopic.php?t=3030
I actually already had it but wanted some confirmation.
Anyway, if you read the thread above you know that by the time I had the intention of power it with a Raspberry Pi but this plan was gone. The fact is that I would end NOT using my ZXS clone. The reason is that although it was really great for me when I had one in the 1980s I think that now I prefer to stick with my romantic memories than face the reality (if you can get me). But that nostalgia still was there. Why that?
Well, I figured that everything I REALLY wanted was a nice and shiny console to look at as a trophy from the good old times. Then I made one from scratch and now it is hung at my office's wall. Long story short, I would like to show you the result...
If you like I can take more pics and describe how I made it. Enjoy!
PS: Now I am starting to work on a "simplified" replica of a ZX-Spectrum console. I have plans of make also a TS-2048 and an – ahem! - C64.
