Wanted - Spectrum or Spectrum Plus case

[hellraiseruk]

Hi,

Looking to build a Harlequin, but in need of a case to put it in. Yes, I can buy new ones but I'd like to make it as authentic as possible, so I'm after an original Spectrum or Plus case. Anyone got anything off a scrap Speccy or similar?

Cheers

I don't know if you've already found something yet, but this showed up on eBay just today.

£40 for what appears to be a working 48K plus, which - from the sounds of it - just needs a new keyboard membrane and a bit of a clean-up.

Not mine and not affilliated in any way.

I paid £30 for a (granted, cleaner) case, without a working speccy motherboard to house my own Harlequin 128k a few months ago; sticking one of those fake 3D-printed toastrack heat-sinks to it for that "authentic" 128K look.

TBF, those 3D printed toastracks look really good and use the existing screw-holes, so you're not drilling any new ones into an otherwise re-usable case.

Cheers, I'll have a look...
