Sinclair Spectrum fixup is a project to restore a donated defective Sinclair spectrum to working order:
Fixes done until now:
- Replaced blown up 7805 voltage regulator.
- Repaired the +12V & -5V generator (replaced two transistors).
- Completely replaced foil keyboard by 40 6x6mm buttons, hot glued to the inside and hard wired, the rubber keypad was modified to make place for the buttons.
- Built in a 1 transistor preamp to make the cassette input sensitive enough so it accepts signals from a tablet or laptop.
TODO:
Add a built in joystick, (port) that works by activating certain keys, by using FET's connected between the keyboard matrix points for the keys, 5,6,7 & 8, and 0 for fire.
