The F.R.E.A.C.K computer

This is old news paper article from the late 70's about a group of students (my dad being one of them) around a computer model called F.R.E.A.C.K if anyone knows any thing then please comment.

we think the computer was a kit of the Sinclair ZX80 with a better keyboard.

BBC B Micro

The BBC Micro was the first vintage computer I got again on eBay for £28! but when I got it it wouldn't turn on, so we had a  look inside and tested the voltage of some of the chips only to fined that one of the inside wires was caught in the connection between the keyboard and the mother board. But that was not all half of the keys turned out to not work. after cleaning the connections the keyboard was back and working. only when i thought it was over another problem came my way and that was the picture had split into two! this problem has not yet been fixed.

Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Bought on eBay February 2013 for £12 plus postage. Faulty power supply due to a bad connection which we fixed. Also some of the keys didn't work and we traced this to a broken ribbon connecting the keypad to the motherboard. The trickiest job was to lever off the keyboard fascia as it is glued in place but the key pad then just drops out. Replacements are readily available via eBay.

To replace the key pad fascia we used some strong double sided sticky tape - this worked well and it a good way of controlling the adhesive to avoid spilling glue onto the keys.
