"Today, one of the 1960s machines still plays music, headlining a fascinating annual tradition – every December, the PDP-1 restoration crew at the Computer History Museum in California invites visitors to sing carols with the computer older than most of them."

Yo #RetroComputing peeps,
I’m buying a grey ZX Spectrum +2 that’s been modified for composite video output, but my monitor only has VGA and my TV only has HDMI and component (tho composite works.
The seller says in their description:
"It is pretty much ready to go, all you need is (preferrably) CRT TV with either Composite Video or SCART inputs, then either Composite or SCART cable (can be purchased from UK in online shops - make you sure you ask for +2 grey model cable, as black model cables are incompatible), then you need audio cable, probably a joystick (with joystick interface, such as Kempston) and some games!"
But I’m confused about what exact cable/converter setup I actually need to at least see it on my PC monitor.
What’s the best option here? And what specific cable should I buy for the grey +2 itself? Preferably I would like to able to see it on a spare monitor I have that has VGA.
Or maybe I am overthinking it all ^^;;
(More info in a reply post)

#x68000 arrived, and everything works awesome.
Because of it I finally got off my butt to also buy the 90cm deep table I was eyeing, so that a #CRT has actual space on it.Not fully finished yet, but at least I have some space to put some #vintagecomputers on a table.
Will need some shelving as well.

Picked up a Toshiba Satellite Pro 435CDS from Value Village and am excited to see if I can get it to work. Does anyone have any recommendations for a distro that'll work on this dinosaur?
