Issue 1 board
Posted: Thu Jul 03, 2014 10:19 am
Hi all,
I and someone else (maybe someone here?) managed to secure a ZX81 issue 1 motherboard each from eBay last night, for about a tenner apiece. Nice! Sold as tested and working, but in the photo it looks a real mess. I think they were built from kits. I'll post some pics when it arrives, and you can all let me know if I've been sold a dud!
My own original ZX81 is down in England at the moment. I'm not sure what issue it is, but I went through 2 or 3 replacements during the guarantee period so the one I ended up with may have been one of the final issues. That final replacement was at the end of 1983. Anyway, it's certainly not an issue 1, so I've expanded my collection a little.
