Surgery was a success! The ZX81 now has composite video! Shame most of the keys don’t work (probably the shitty ends on the connectors to be fair) but in all honesty I was planning on replacing it outright with a complete front patio remodelling if you know what I mean.

That and the 32K internal ram mod and first round of renovations is done!

Nice. My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1000, which was pretty much the same machine as the ZX81. Man, did it ever run slower with the 16 kb RAM expansion cartridge...

@m3lang3 I’ve got one of those :) I’m going to do an internal 32K RAM mod and the see if I can use the edge connector as GPIO instead!
