The price is a little to steep for me so I'm not interested. It is the best clone I've ever seen but I can't justify buying it. :(

If I look at the Euro/Dollor it will be about 1,2 x 200=240. The kits will be finished early januari.

Well if you buy all the parts apart so for example a minstrel, a zxpand expansion, a zeddynet expansion and a keyboard expansion you will have to pay more and don't have the extras like more memory and the why wait circuit.

@zxhenk, a side question: how did you manage to get the custom labels on the MX keycaps?
I'm interested for custom keyboards I've made (e.g. Gherkin and BM43A)

I just bought some transparant A4 sticker sheets for inkjet printers and printed the keyboard stickers after I made a good sharp image of the keys. You have to cut them out one by one with a scissor. But if you do it in a intellegent way it iis not that much work.

You can buy keyboard stickers for the zx81/spectrum which are cutout but they only come as non transparant in black. I wanted them transparant because I wanted colored keycaps because I think it looks nice. See here https://www.polyplay.xyz/Keyboard-Stick ... trum-black

Just made a fitting plexiglass bottem and top for the ZXdeluxe+ I will add this to the building kit with the mounting materials.

This makes this design looks nice and finished and protects it form some dust. :D
