    Sinclair Audio Cable

No disrespect, but I suggest you do some research and amend your listing.

The ZX81 you have for sale was made quite some time after Sinclair had started their main production run. I have an even earlier one with a ULA date stamped 8111 meaning week 11 of 1981. The one you have for sale on eBay has a ULA with a date stamp of 8130 meaning week 30. The issue one PCB is rather common, not rare. And I don't think you will get anywhere near the buy it now price that you have listed it at.

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

Well - the starting price for GBP 49.00 is not too bad for a ZX81 plus 16k RAM pack and a bit accessoires like cassettes and books.
But I wouldn't expect a very high price - GBP 899.00 is surely 10 times overpayed. 8-)
