And here we have the limited ‘Hoth’ edition ZX81 released in honour of The Empire Strikes back. How on earth did they do this?

It also looks like someone used a scourer to remove a label at some point. :shock:

Sadly the RAM and ULA are both dead. RAM not an issue as I will upgrade it to 16K but the ULA is. I have run out of spares. Hopefully Andy is making another batch soon!

Been a while so here is an early issue one that came with a ZX80 black PSU. It kind of works...

The ULA is 8106 but the Z80 is 8805. I guess it was repaired at some point.

Another issue one. It had a bugged ROM. And well attached RAM pack.

All working but clearly repaired at some point! A turned pin green socket. Nice.

Edit - the ULA died while testing. :cry:

Another one. :D

This is an early (8106) self built one with a ZX80 16K RAM pack. It has the bugged ROM.

All working so far! Only tested the RAM briefly by doing DIM A(3000) and it returning 0/0.

The last three I have had all had dodgy ULAs. Heres hoping for better luck with this one.

I must admit I bought this mainly for the case as I have one to sell that it is very poor condition and this one is much better.
But I was also curious about the RAM!

Not quite a zeddy but still a lovely bit of working Sinclair goodness.

So how much did that one set you back?
