Probably an early one:

ZX80 PSU and if you look at photo 3 you can see one of the feet is a little squished meaning it is a sponge type not rubber foot.

Squidgy!

Never mind. I have a roll of sticky back neoprene foam tape that's exactly the right width to cut ZX81 feet from, so mine may end up with squidgies after I've cracked it open.

FTFY.

And no. I'm not the one selling on eBay who's put up a ZX81 with 16KB RAM and composite video mods that looks like it's been run over by a truck.

You would think they would wipe it down a little!

And it still went for over £56!
