Okay, before I let you go to your New Year's party, let's finish the #ZXSpectrum128. πβ
I checked the RGB to SCART cable I got from Sintech, and found two problems: The "bright" signal is not connected, and they actually used a Stereo audio jack, so the sound came from the left side only. I bought a pre-assembled cable so I won't have to solder it myself. Now I had to fix it with three additional 150Ξ© resistors and three 1N4148, which was quite tricky in the tiny space.
Now the bright colors are displayed, and the sound is much better. First problem (AY sound and bright mode) is fixed. #Retrocomputing #RetroWeekend

What about ending the year 2023 with another #RetroWeekend? πβ Yesterday I got a #ZXSpectrum128 that I am going to restore now. This model is nicknamed "Toastrack" because of the shape of the heatsink on the right side.
The Toastrack Speccys are a bit hard to find today, especially in a good condition. But this model here is even harder to find...

My plan for today's #RetroWeekend: Assemble a #Dandanator, make it work, and put some of my favorite games on it.
Luckily it needs just a few components. So let's heat up the soldering iron.
