Congratulations! 🎉 The All-New-Your-Machine-Here-From-New-Parts-Only-List™ has just received another wonderful addition.

And in this case, the part with Your-Machine-Here is the ZX Spectrum. What a time to be alive. 😛

But let's get back to the seriousness of the situation. If you're not keen on scouring Ebay for a used piece of hardware, possess the necessary soldering skills, and are ready to fork out approximately 480€(!) for the BOM, then you might end up being very, very happy here.

The actual challenge of the build is predominantly the ULA chip. But the individual behind lostretrotapes.com tweeting as @lostretrotapes relies here – like many others – on the work of Charlie Ingley. Therefore, nothing should stand in the way of your soldering pleasure and subsequent gaming with a somewhat quirky color palette (Sorry!).

Fancy a hardware adventure? Here you go!
