What about a repackaged ZX81 into the Spectrum case form like the TS1500? Use original ULA's...
At my age, I need a monocle to read the Zeddy keyboard
The keyboard would be larger tactile with the KDLX for the Spectrum.
What about a 1500 clone "Spec' Jr."

Inspired by the Minstrel ZX80/81... and the new Spectrum retro cases.

Re: What about a 1500 clone "Spec' Jr."
At the moment I am really busy with a ZX80 memory expansion that fits inside the 3K RAMPACK case (which I 3D Print).
Its going to have some nice gimmicks, but that needs time.
I am waiting for PCBs and chips coming from china.
After this I would really like to design a TS1500 clone. I have one original that I hardly dare to touch....
I have ordered a spectrum case.
The most difficult thing (for me) will be the printing on the keyboard and the faceplate.
If some would start at these issues that would be really handy. I guess we cannot convince djordje to make these.
I once asked him and he asked back for data and and estimation of sales
On the other hand ***IF*** there will be a spectrum next this could also be the basis of a good TS1500 clone...
Kind regards
Paul

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But, in practice, there is.

There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.

Re: What about a 1500 clone "Spec' Jr."
For the faceplate, how about a chromecoat adhesive backed printed overlay to go over any faceplate. Apply then cut out key-holes with razor knife.
Maybe.
Not as clean, but for keys use similar printed but die cut stickers for rubby' keys.
Nah. These really need silkscreening.
Need blanks of faceplates and unprinted rubbies.
On second thought if someone is selling keyboard stickers AND THEY ARE ON EBAY. The demand for those indicate the sales potential for a physical replacement.
