This week we are looking at a Spectrum 128k toastrack that belongs to @YawningAngelRetro. He asked if I could sort out a power issue and carry out a few mods so lets see what we can do.
The mods completed in this video are a composite mod with audio and colour bleeding fix. Audio level fix, a jail bar fix and we also fit a new regulator.
All components were purchased from https://www.retroleum.co.uk/
