Re: White screen on a ZX81

Hi all, I finally got back to working on this problem, and I can not understand why it only showing a white screen with no K prompt. I done the same video mod that I used on my other ZX81, and my TS1000 and they both work on my LCD TV. I got to thinking that the mod is for a composite monitor, I got...

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading

Yes these look correct as far as the pin placement, but not sure if dimensions are correct. I sent a messages to the designer asking him/her what and who the makes the PB203G jacks. Thanks.
Cheers.

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading

I looked at PJ-324 and it seems to have the correct pin placement on them, but can't get here in Canada, or the US. If I knew who's part nu...

Re: Improving Timex/Sinclair Tape Loading

Quick question on the ZX81 cassette signal cleaner. I am trying to find the PG203J cable jacks? I live in Canada and can get the pcb build thru Osh Park, and all the componets except for the jacks. Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

I then hooked up the computer to the monitor and plugged in the power, and up came the K as before. I then tried a couple of keys, but still no response? I was somewhat dism...
