    of these togeather, as the ZX81 was a fascinating
computer, and highly
 significant in the Home Computer industry - especially in the UK.

 Adam. 
Thank you for pointing this to me BUT.....I have tried 
e-mailing and snail mailing them and....they don't answer. 
Fullstop.

Perhaps they don't supply overseas. Try and let me know. 
However their kits are American and that means that the 
machines will NOT work in UK.

   Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the ZX81 a UK machine? I was under
 the understanding that it was sold in North America as the TS1000
 (Timex/Sinclair). I'm pretty sure the ZX81 was made in the UK (at least
 that's what mine says on the case).
   Of course I'm not sure if it was made in the UK for a North American
market...
