Category: ZX Spectum

Today I received some new switches I bought from eBay seller e_goto.
But I have another problem, my wire wrap wire ran out, so I bough some on eBay.
Just have to wait un till it arrives.

Last night I was working on a ZX spectrum keyboard replacement when a solder pad broke lose from the switch.
The switches are very tiny, the solder pad are even smaller, so the traces are to small to solder a wire to it.

Now I ordered a new batch of switches as I had just enough of them.
I hope that they will arrive soon.
sometimes it looks like an Asian is cycling to the Netherlands to deliver the package from China (it can take up to 6 or 7 weeks).

The switches for my ZX spectrum arrived.
first I tough that I received an empty envelop but the 30 switches were there…

I want to mount them below the keyboard keys, to replace the faulty membrane.
