My first computer was a ZX Spectrum my parents gave me on Christmas 1983. It had a problem a couple of years later and was replace by a new one.
One month ago or so I tried to turn it on and it still works, although the image is not that good. I suppose I have to replace some capacitors to get a good image.
And see if all my tapes are still good.
