Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

I did receive some 2532A's and still had no luck programming them, until I found that they were really 2732A's at least I can make use of them.

The original 2532A's were faulty.

Looking for a ZX80 manual, maybe someone has a spare that they can sell for not too much money?

I'm in the UK.

So far so good! :) Don't worry, I'm going to cover the UV window :) You can see from the photo I used a ST M2732A-3FI, that I bought from eBay.

I'm lucky it didn't do...

BTW, the third photo is just showing R36 that I have lifted one end.

Thanks for the reply, I had already started changing some of the components before seeing your reply, but luckily I did take a few pictures before.
