I purchased a zx81 kit in Jan of 92.
It wouldn't work after being built, I opened a built one
and found that there is a great deal of difference.
It was sent back, after a lot of work to make it work,
in June. They sent a new one and it worked well when
I hooked it up to a TV. I've used it 6 times and the
video has deteriorated to an almost unrecognizable mess.
I have tried saving and reading tapes with this and found that
I can write tapes but not read them. Is there a way to fix
this piece of junk or should I just write it off and use it
for spare parts? I wouldn't recomend these to my wost enemy
after the luck that I have had.
