There are no brand new Sinclair ZX Spectrum computers available for sale. Production stopped in 1992.

See also your other thread here.

Various people produce brand new games for the ZX Spectrum. But these are often distributed digitally. Occasionally cassette tape versions may be made. There are plenty of preowned existing games on cassette tape available on trading web sites.

For example on Sell My Retro or eBay. If you are in the U.K. you may find items for sale at car boot sales or other second hand / preowned shops.

Have you heard about the ZX Spectrum Next? It’s currently a Kick Starter project (which sadly is behind schedule :( ).
It is possible that after all the backers have received their machines, if there is still enough demand, the producer may produce some more brand new machines. More details here, here and various videos on YouTube including this one.

Alternatively, if you can solder, it is possible to get new Harlequin circuit boards, and some sellers even sell kits including a new PCB and most of the parts. Search for Harlequin on SellMyRetro, on other retro computing sales sites/shops or for ‘Harlequin PCB’ on eBay. You will have to buy a keyboard membrane, rubber mat, plastic case and power supply unit separately though.

A Harlequin is a recreated ZX Spectrum. If you would like more information on the Harlequin, please ask.
