Microvitec CUB Monitor 1451 DS

I have just been given one that has been in my parents loft for years. I think it still work, green light comes on and it makes that turning on sound! I have 128k+2 black case that I could plug it into. But, no monitor lead with it. On the back it says I need a TTl lead to RGB on the spectrum. I look around on eBay only seems to sell leads with a scaft lead and says the 128k grey model. It needs a round lead with 7 pin holes on it. Anyone supply them or know where to get them from?

Hello and welcome :D

Does the Cub monitor have a six pin DIN socket? Can you post a photo of the rear panel of the monitor please.

You chances of finding a ready made lead are slim at best. Do you know anyone who is good with a soldering iron?

By “128k+2 black case”, I presume you mean an Amstrad made ZX Spectrum +2 with integrated cassette deck, and which has a PSU that connects to the computer via a DIN plug?

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