Join me as I review some AMAZING new fruity coloured cases for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k, along with some Coloured keymats and new faceplate colours too. Also includes GLOW IN THE DARK and smoked/clear transparent cases.
We also test fit a Spectrum board into one of the cases and fit a new membrane from the same supplier!

If only apart from all those silly/vaporware color variants there was a replica version of the TK90X faceplate.

whohohooooa I'm melting!!! They're gorgeous!

@wesleyflavell9926 7 лет назад

Nice video Mark! I may get one of the silver faceplates as I was just given an issue one 48k spectrum from a kind man on freegle, I had to adjust the colour on it but it works great now.

@supersonicsid 7 лет назад

Just found you Mark, and i have got my old speccie out i know only half the keyboard works so i have ordered a membrane but those retro cases wow, i'm back in 1983 again. i just wish i had kept the old software Sid...

@MarkFixesStuff 7 лет назад

There's a lot of the old stuff still about for sale and trade, and a thriving community on facebook. Come and join facebook.com/groups/spectrum4everyone!

@supersonicsid 7 лет назад

i have ordered the zxhd and divmmc thats on the way but radiotronics are a bit slow in sending the new keyboard & cover

@MarkFixesStuff 7 лет назад

Yes. Djordje is just one guy, and he's in China. ZX Renew is faster if they have stock. It is a waiting game though.

@SproutyPottedPlant 7 лет назад

Or how about new GameCube shells but instead of the disc slot there is an SD cart slot!!?

@peterdoa1 6 лет назад

the white looks cool

@David_M395 3 года назад

I think back is the best

@MarkFixesStuff 3 года назад

I think the black is best as well, closely followedy by the smoked grey transparent version.

@markb4071 7 лет назад

OMG ! as if I wasn't skint enough then you mentioned there'll be cases for the JS128 too aarrgghhh !!!!

@MarkFixesStuff 7 лет назад

It's my mission to send you broke Mark.

@markb4071 7 лет назад

you're in a very long queue mate ha ha

@doomfatlikesbluesphere9984 7 лет назад

now my speccy can be pretty too!

@Bob_Beaky 7 лет назад

They do look lovely. I popped over to the ZXRenew site but they don't have cases on the page. Does anyone know if they'll be in stock or should I look at ordering from retroradionics instead?

@MarkFixesStuff 7 лет назад

Mint Jeffer give Peter Smith a yell on the zxrenew site. It's usually quicker to order from him as he is in the UK.

@EXITMUSIC2011 7 лет назад

wow they look so good. makes me want to buy a specky just for the new facia combos! where can you buy this stuff from?

@peterdoa1 6 лет назад

could you put a Harlequin rev G board in this and build you own custom spectrum

@medes5597 6 лет назад

Part of me wants all of these. Another part of me wants to convince someone to make new cases for the second/128/Amstrad era spectrums.

@MarkFixesStuff 6 лет назад

People do keep asking Djordje to make other cases, but it's a VERY costly process. All of these are made and organised by ONE MAN!

@medes5597 6 лет назад

@@MarkFixesStuff Fair play to him for taking the time to do them then. A few years ago when I was looking for replacement cases for a spectrum that worked but had a smashed case, I couldn't find anywhere selling them. I ended up buying a non working model and used the case from that and the internals for parts. It's amazing how many useful little things the retro community has come out with in just the past two years or so.

@MarkFixesStuff 6 лет назад

Yes. It's usually a real labour of love for these guys. The obvious cash-in companies usually fail, but the driven individuals are the ones who make these things happen.

@romiolover6852 5 лет назад

what will you do with all those covers Sir ?

@MarkFixesStuff 5 лет назад

romio lover I have built a holy shrine..

@GeoNeilUK 5 лет назад

It's a shame RetroRadionics don't appear to do replacement cases for the +, +2, +3 or CPC range. Also, you say the transparent case, silver faceplate and white keyboard looks like a museum piece, to me it looks like a pre-release prototype (which is problematic, I'm sure some Jimmy Savile scalpers will be ordering these cases and going to eBay and Gumtree with L@@K EXTRA RARE PROTOTYPE GET IT NAO!!!!!!!! Also, it has to be asked, in honour of the Warsaw Pact clones, which colour combo would you say looks the most... ...Soviet?

@Dolphination 7 лет назад

Wow.

@TheTigermask1 4 года назад

dose any body sell ZX SPECTRUM 128K Toastrack REPLACEMENT CASES

@MarkFixesStuff 4 года назад

+Raven’s Odds & Ends not as yet mate sorry.

@TheTigermask1 4 года назад

Mark Fixes Stuff - Retro Console and Computer Repairs, Reviews and MORE! Cool thank you Mark, always want Toastrack case and make a laptop with raspberrypi

@russellwarren9595 7 лет назад

when are these available?

@RobeenaShepherd 7 лет назад

Aye, I already have some of the faceplates and keymats, I was going to spray paint an original case but it didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped... :(

@MarkFixesStuff 7 лет назад

From about now-ish?

@MarkFixesStuff 7 лет назад

Easier to get a new one. Probably work out cheaper too - certainly if you factor in your time.

@SproutyPottedPlant 7 лет назад

Can you imagine new Megadrive shells :D :D

@leeh3568 5 лет назад

Red always looks too toy to me. Smoke and gold chic. Next it'll be rbg led mods. Is the next ever gone be out. Good if a new machine could upscale graphics Attribute wise (like zxpoly and special colour modes like in demo scene) or am I just dreaming.

@MarkFixesStuff 5 лет назад

+Lee H mate... RGB LED mods already exist! Google for Byte Delight :P Also, the French love a red computer...

@dafoex 4 года назад

you could probably clone the original owner from than manky original keyboard

@realgroovy24 7 лет назад

I really think they should make replica cases again, or at least with a logo so you know it isn't from the original factory.

@realgroovy24 7 лет назад

I also thought they should make a case that has the space bar at the bottom, but fitting the original motherboard, they'd need to make a membrane and faceplate to suit it though.
