Hi I have a ZX80 and am looking to sell it advice needed pls

[Electrotete]

Hi - I've had a ZX80 since my dad bought me it when I was 10 back in 1980. Unfortunately I haven't taken very good care of it and it is just the unit itself.
It is yellowed and has corner chips and a small hole in the raised bit corners. I think it still works but dont have a TV connector lead lead to check it.
Do you know where I could get a cheap lead to connect it ?

Thanks

Ps - I live in S London

A standard AV cable lead will do - have a look on ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SINCLAIR-ZX-S ... 3a643c55c5

I presume you have the power supply still.

Your main problem may be getting a picture on a modern TV set - ideally you would need a black & white set - certainly a TV with manual tuning would be better, but the picture on a colour TV may be very dark..

Thanks for the info, that's just what I needed to know !

I don't have the original power supply but I have multi voltage psus that have 9V with switchable polarity - that should work shouldn't it ?

It should work ok if it delivers enough mA.
I wouldn't try a psu with less than 700mA because that's what Sinclair delivered with its devices.
More is no problem. If the psu connected to the zx80 still has more than 10V I would only test for a couple of minutes, than let the regulator of the ZX cool down again for 15 minutes to prevent it's overheating.
Kind regards
Paul
