That thing on ZX_Beccy's shelf

I am sure I am not the only one who thinks ZX_Beccy has the most amazing Sinclair collection but has anyone else been curious about that white spectrum (+2?) in this picture?

ZX_Beccy, I was wondering if you could you tell us more about it? :smile:

    Memrah, it's a standard +3. The discoloration is due to the radiation (See your other thread ) :p

    Reserves for when one of them fails? After all 80s joysticks were notorious for failing.

    I have loads of scrabble, but MAC are thin on the ground.. certain titles are a mare to get rid of since a certain person dropped their prices thru the floor , any title they list.. I don't.

    Yep a thing of beauty. I was thinking of spraying one of my 48k+s as thats a thing of beauty. They should have released it.

    Wowsers.

    That?s an old photo!

    Collections grown a bit since then?..

    zxsc001.jpg

    zxsc002.jpg

    And more since those photos were taken!

    Anyhoo ? In answer to your question? the white thingy was a Spectrum +3e with a built in hard drive. Sadly don?t have it no more and don?t have any photos to show either?. Was quite a nice little project, +3 coated in appliance white with gold leaf on the Sinclair logo? ho hum.
