Premium Short Case Screws for Sinclair ZX Spectrum 16k/48k Restoration
Every restorer knows the frustration of a loose case or a stripped screw head. These brand-new, high-quality self-tapping screws are the definitive replacement for the original fixings found on the bottom of the “Rubber Key” Spectrum.
The Correct Length Matters:
While some Spectrum revisions require longer screws, most standard pillars are designed for this short version. Using these prevent you from driving the screw too deep into the pillar, which is the primary cause of cracked case mouldings.
Key Features:
- Engineered for Plastic: The self-tapping thread is designed to grip the aged ABS plastic of the Sinclair case securely.
- Flush Finish: The countersunk head ensures the screws sit perfectly within the case recesses, just like the originals.
- Durable Finish: Coated in a professional black finish to resist corrosion and match the classic Sinclair aesthetic.
- Convenient Pack: Includes 5 screws—enough for a full case assembly with one spare for your toolkit.
Installation Advice:
When reassembling your Spectrum, turn the screw slowly. If you feel resistance, back it out and clear any plastic debris. For the best results, ensure your screwdriver is a good fit for the cross-head drive to prevent any rounding of the new screw heads.
