Can we fix Sinclair Spectrum +3 design flaws? Drive fix plus Better Sound & Video!
About this video
Three faults on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum +3 get attention, namely a dead disk drive, a poor RGB SCART picture and clipped audio, with resistors R42 and R43 swapped for the sound.
Good to know: Soldering means burns and fumes; old solder contains lead. The maker uses a +3 RGB SCART lead to check the picture on a TV.
Why watch it
The maker treats all three as design flaws of the +3 and not as wear on one machine, and gives R42 as a 1.2k part, so it can be ordered beforehand.
