I found a keyboard-less Spectrum at the salvation army, and I got it at only
15 SEK. Great price, that's about one GBP.
So I proceeded to mix and match a working Spectrum out of one and the one I
already own.
The keyboard ribbons on my old one were really beat up, so I took the matrix
(and ribbons) off the one without a keyboard and transplanted it into the old
one, which turned out to work this time. It was probably just a disagreement
with an AC-DC adaptor or the tuner in the TV.
So now I've got a working Speccy, with a luxurious on/off switch and all.
The keyboard is... interesting.
So far I've worked out how to generate all characters on the keytops (letters,
keywords and symbols) using CAPS SHIFT or SYMBOL SHIFT. I've also discovered
how to print the keywords listed above each key, by pressing both SHIFT keys
in order to enter the "E" input mode. But I'm lost as to how to print the
keywords and characters listed below the keys. No combinations of SHIFT keys
seem to work out.
