What to check before you buy
Decide first whether you want a modern ready-to-play machine, the more powerful Spectrum Next, or an original 1980s Spectrum. For joysticks, check the connection: modern machines take USB, original Spectrums need a 9-pin joystick and an interface. Our joystick guide explains Kempston, Sinclair and Cursor.
Used hardware varies a lot. Ask whether it has been tested, whether the keyboard membrane works, and what power supply is included.
