I wish I had one back in the 80s. Would make an awesome monitor for Spectrum :)

Had one of these when I lived in the UK for a year for school. Kept it to myself and never needed to deal with the battle of the group TV (I was on the top floor - a win for that antenna). Bought it at one of those cheesy electronics stores in NYC - would have been cheaper to buy it at Curry’s when I got to the country.

I went to London as a 13 year old and saw one of these in a display case in Harrods.. Boy did I want this.

I worked in the radio and TV department in Harrods in the run up to Christmas 1977 for a student holiday job. I think I probably helped arrange that display case.

@@gerardlefevre1768 Hah brilliant! If I try and recall what the display looked like I would say it was a wooden cabinet. The upper part was glass and the Sinclair was in there on it's stand in viewing position. In my head the cabinet was square, maybe as tall or taller than me, and contained some other gadgets... possibly Sinclair calculators. I believe the price for the TV might have been just under 400 Pounds... completely unaffordable. I did have one of the black calculators and of course somewhat later on, a Spectrum, both of which I still have. I've just looked up the original price for the TV and it says it was just over 200 pounds... somewhat lower than I recall. Perhaps there was an accessory pack.

Hey, do you know the exact power able I need to use this? I know there is the 12 volt and 6 volt switch on the back, and that its DC power, but I want to know the amp count, etc so I won't ruin it.

The leaking internal Nicad batteries probably ate up the printed circuit boards. It's junk. Makes a great paper weight though.

Na. I just opened one up and it was a corrosion nightmare. Tossed the most insanely corroded batteries I’ve ever seen, submerged the board in white vinegar, scrubbed it down, rinsed in IPA, fixed all the broken traces and put new nicd cells in it and I’ve been watching Dateline all afternoon on it. Good as new! 😂

Turn it on, show it working. Otherwise video is pointless.
