Spectrum + 128K with no toroid
Posted: Mon Dec 02, 2019 11:36 pm
Hi all
I recently bought a toastrack spectrum and after opening it was surprised to see no toroid. I have only seen the insides of 4 or 5 of these so not sure if this is a common thing?
It does not obviously look like it has been removed. Although there was a repair / warranty sticker on it (not details though).
It works fine apart from a slightly jumpy video on RGB SCART on one of my TVs (most are fine). Research suggests it may be a similar issue to the ghosting on the +3 (https://spectrumforeveryone.com/technic ... compliant/)
I have seen a few photos of them minus toroid on Spanish websites.
