Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 Grey (Issue 3) Premium Nichicon/Kemet Capacitor Recap Kit
A full recap is essential preventative maintenance for any 128K Sinclair machine. This kit provides a complete set of high-spec electrolytic capacitors to refresh your Grey ZX Spectrum +2, specifically targeting the Issue 3 motherboard.
Why Use Nichicon or Kemet?
We don’t settle for generic components. This kit uses brand-new capacitors from Nichicon and Kemet, industry leaders known for their tight tolerances and excellent heat resistance. These premium parts help stabilise the power rails and clean up the composite video and audio signals, providing a noticeably sharper experience on modern displays.
Includes Tape Recorder PCB Capacitors:
Many enthusiasts forget that the internal tape deck has its own dedicated PCB with aging capacitors. If you are experiencing the dreaded “R Tape Loading Error” or inconsistent motor speeds, a tape deck recap is often the solution. This kit includes every capacitor needed to refresh:
- The Main Motherboard: Stabilising logic and video output.
- The Data Recorder PCB: Ensuring a clean signal for software loading and saving.
Compatibility Warning:
This kit is designed specifically and exclusively for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum +2 Grey (Issue 3). The internal components vary significantly between different motherboard revisions and the later Black +2A/+2B models.
Please check your motherboard issue number before purchasing to ensure a problem free experience.
