Not sure if the Spectrum in question was necessarily a Spectrum+ --
Sinclair sold kits to upgrade the keyboard: I recall that it was
simply a case of unscrewing the motherboard, re-seating it to the new
case and soldering the wires from the reset switch to each end of a
resister.

Hi Dave,
It is the 2nd Gen one, it was sold as the Spectrum+ but mine had 48k+
written on the unit, so that's what I've always known it as.

My first experience with programming was on a Spectrum +2 using BASIC, I was
