Hi,
Does anyone know if a TSR 1-2450 voltage regulator can be used to replace the original voltage regulator and heatsink in a ZX Spectrum issue 2?
How does it compare for the Murata voltage regulator?
Thanks,
José

Yes, I use one in mine. Will reduce the heat significantly as they are very efficient so no need for the massive heat sink anymore.

Yes, a TSR 1-2450 DC/DC converter is suitable replacement for the 7805 voltage regulator.
I use Recon converters. There are some details and photos of one of my ZX81 with a Recom fitted here.

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