For power I use a small 110/220 inverter available from places like Jameco and JDR. That allows me to use the original power supply. The Spectrums also can work off a standard 9 volt wall wart. Some models use over 1 amp so its more like a wall brick. For video a normal RGB monitor like the Magnavox RGB-80 (Many Commodore versions 1084,1902,etc) works fine. If you are a Sinclair fan, the video pinout is exactly the same as the Sinclair QL (8 pin din). The 50/60 Hz "thing" doesn't matter. Please be aware there are very few Spectrums with RGB output. The +2 is one model. The Spectrum 128 also is supposed to have RGB output but I have not seen one. I also have seen regular Spectrums (48k and the Spectrum+) in use over here in the US. To do that you need to convert the output to RGB. A product called the Spectrum RGB output module by Adapt electronics does exactly that. Good luck finding one. Our local Sinclair group has one. After a lot of investigation it was determined that power supply voltages have to be right on the money for it to work. Another alternative is a DIY project that is posted on some Spectrum web pages. Good luck with the schematic and documentation (all in German!). I'd be very interested in your progress. Don Walterman dwalterm(a)ix.netcom.com
