E este é o fim da trilogia dos leilões. - Retrópolis

Hoje em dia, o sonho dos cineastas é conseguir emplacar uma trilogia de filmes. Então, podemos dizer que o nosso querido amigo Eduardo Dias emplacou uma trilogia... E pode pedir música no Fantástico. Então pessoal, é pra acabar. Agora vem aí o último leilão dos itens do nosso amigo. O leilão já está aberto, mas

Yo #RetroComputing peeps,

I’m buying a grey ZX Spectrum +2 that’s been modified for composite video output, but my monitor only has VGA and my TV only has HDMI and component (tho composite works.

The seller says in their description:

"It is pretty much ready to go, all you need is (preferrably) CRT TV with either Composite Video or SCART inputs, then either Composite or SCART cable (can be purchased from UK in online shops - make you sure you ask for +2 grey model cable, as black model cables are incompatible), then you need audio cable, probably a joystick (with joystick interface, such as Kempston) and some games!"

But I’m confused about what exact cable/converter setup I actually need to at least see it on my PC monitor.

What’s the best option here? And what specific cable should I buy for the grey +2 itself? Preferably I would like to able to see it on a spare monitor I have that has VGA.

Or maybe I am overthinking it all ^^;;

Work has begun on FREEZE-ZX issue 04.
We are going right back to the very early years of the #ZXSpectrum and chatting with someone who produced #ZX81 games before moving on to the #Speccy.
It’s going to be another corker of an issue!
More details soon.
