Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K Motherboard

A fully working, fully tested motherboard of a 48K ZX Spectrum is always a handy thing to have around, and occasionally use with some sort of interesting keyboard/case combo. So, uhm, here's an issue 3 ZX Spectrum motherboard eBay auction in case you wanted one. It was manufactured in 1983.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2

The sturdy, compact, game-focused Spectrum +2 by Amstrad remains a great way of enjoying those classic tape-based 8-bit games, and this ZX Spectrum +2 eBay auction is apparently a great chance for grabbing one. Shipping costs are truly sensible, the micro comes with PSU and RF leads and is fully working, the manual is included, and you'll also be getting a nice selection of games and software.

And another fantastic Speccy!

I generally do try and mix things up in Retro Treasures, but I just had to break my (never really revealed) posting rules in order to let you lovely vintage gaming people know about this pretty excellent ZX Spectrum eBay auction. This particular, beautiful Sinclair micro comes with a new membrane for its keyboard, and a very handy composite mod that will allow you to connect it to modern TVs.

The Spectrum on offer also comes a video cable, the Sinclair power supply, and big selection of boxed, complete games. Among them you'll find R-Type, Driller, Carrier Command, Cobra, Match Day II, Bomb Jack, Ikari Warriors, and Batman.

One Fine ZX Spectrum+

It may not look as sleek or unique as the original Speccy models, but the improved keyboard and the reset switch of the ZX Spectrum Plus more than make up for the micro's bulkier size. Other than that it's a lovely Sinclair 8-bit, does everything you'd expect it to, and you can grab one via this ZX Spectrum + eBay auction. The computer comes complete with power supply, leads, a Sony tape player, the official manual, a third party user guide, and a box of games and tapes.

Boxed Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128

It was admittedly slightly under-cooked and a tad late, but we all loved the ZX Spectrum 128. It was a beautiful machine to look at, offered much more RAM than the 48k model, had a pretty decent sound chip, and was meant to be the final Sinclair computer. It is also pretty rare these days, and if you always wanted one you should definitely be looking at this lovely ZX Spectrum 128 eBay auction.

The micro seems to be in good condition (though something might be off with the keyboard), and comes in its original, well-preserved box. The power supply, required cables, and manuals are also included.

ZX Interface 1 for the Spectrum

Expanding the ZX Spectrum with the ZX Interface 1 allows the micro to network itself over simple local area networks of up to 64 (!) Spectrums, adds a RS232 port, and supports up to 8 Microdrives. It was quite the handy little expansion back then, and sounds even more interesting today. Also, you can still bid on one via this ZX Interface 1 eBay auction. The interface comes complete in its excellently preserved box with manual and cables.

Sinclair 128k ZX Spectrum +2 by Amstrad

Many of us hated the fact that Amstrad grabbed Sinclair for pennies, and essentially murdered its innovative soul, but we do have to admit that the ZX Spectrum +2 was a fine, affordable, and very handy micro. It was also unashamedly gaming focused, played nice with monitors and joysticks, sported all the extra 128k model goodies, had a decent keyboard, was properly reliable, and you can grab a fully working one via this ZX Spectrum +2 eBay auction.

The computer on offer comes with two manuals, all required cables, PSU, and a joystick. It is also accompanied by several (boxed) games and utilities including brilliant scrolling beat-'em-up Target; Renegade, classic budget title Super Sprint, and educational package Micro Maths.

Boxed & Working Sinclair QL

Don't know why, but few computers feel as festive as Sinclair's classic (and not so classic) micros, and thus I just couldn't help but link to this Sinclair QL eBay auction. The final, 16-bit computer by Sinclair on offer is boxed, fully working, and with a replaced keyboard membrane.

The complete Sinclair ZX81

Sinclair's tiny, sleek, and very successful 8-bit micro, the lovely 8-bit Sinclair ZX81, is a brilliant machine to collect for, has had some excellent games written for it, still enjoys a vibrant homebrew scene, and -handily- is tiny enough to find its place on any desk. You can grab one complete with everything you might need via this Sinclair ZX81 eBay auction.

The computer is in full working condition, comes with the almost necessary 16k RAM expansion, the ZX Printer, power supply, leads, and even the micro's poly inserts. Add the manuals and some excellent books, all you'll need to add to the setup will be a cassette player.

Boxed Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2

Finding a well preserved and fully working Spectrum +2 is not too difficult, but discovering one in an equally well preserved box can be a tad more taxing. So... here's a boxed Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 eBay auction offering an apparently complete in its well preserved box, fully working Amstrad-produced micro.

One seemingly unused Sinclair QL

The design flaws are obvious now, but so is the ambition that was driving the Sinclair QL and eventually turned it into a beautiful, affordable 16-bit computer filled with clever ideas that flopped spectacularly. This Sinclair QL eBay auction, on the other hand, is obviously intriguing, especially considering the micro has most probably never been used.

It does come complete in its original box and the seller ships to most places worldwide.

A rather stunning Sinclair ZX81

A stunning and apparently brilliantly preserved Sinclair ZX81 in an equally fine box has been put up for sale on eBay for a price that's actually sensible. The micro has been fully tested and is working. Also very, very lovely.

Timex Sinclair 1000 & extras

The Timex Sinclair 1000, the slightly modified US version of the Sinclair ZX81, was released in 1982 and did pretty well mainly due to its incredibly sensible launch price. The fact that it came with two whole kilobytes of memory must have helped quite a bit too, as must have done a rich library of software and peripherals.

To own such a micro, you could bid on this Timex Sinclair 1000 auction on eBay. The computer comes with manuals, books, a few tapes and the Timex Personal Printer. It hasn't been tested, but  -aesthetically- looks absolutely fine.

Interface 1 & Microdrives (ZX Spectrum)

This boxed Sinclair Interface 1 & Microdrives that's gone up for auction on eBay is a beautiful rarity for your ZX Spectrum and a testament to Sinclair's wild but not always successful ingenuity. The box includes the Interface 1, two Microdrives, two cartridges and the required cable. The items have not been tested, but should work fine as the seller claims they have hardly been used.
