Though since, from your siggy you are in the US,
they probably are
much less common over there, I dunno if Sinclair ever sold them
outside the UK, I know that he had a deal with Timex for the ZX81.
They did--I sold a ZX80 to another cctalk-er a couple of years back.
It had a standard NTSC output and 60Hz power supply.
Why anyone would want a cheap piece of plastic like that is beyond my
comprehension. Maybe that's why I'm not a collector.
