Install a Sintech Video adaptor in a Spectrum+Hi all, I'm an old Commodore user (boo! hiss!) that's aquired his first Spectrum. Since my modern TV doesn't like the RF output of any old computer …

Any ULA from a Rubber keyed 48k will work.
Not sure about a 16k.
If you have another 48k try swapping them out.
