In case anyone is interested - Science of Cambridge MK14 replica build.

Post by ronin47 »

Having once owned an original MK14, and no longer having it, I discovered that there are some replicas around and I thought it'd be a nice quick project to put together.

Here's the build so far, I'm waiting on parts for now:

And with the keypad dropped in place:

Very nice!

I've just recently caught the Sinclair bug and have been assembling a replica, ZX80 /81 PCB by Wilco2009 on github.com

Cool :)

I have thought about getting one myself, I have an original ZX81 I repaired as well as some Spectrums too. You can see the 48K Speccy and ZX81 here with their counterpart CBM machines.
