I really enjoyed this video. It's very useful you actually shows how the diagnostic cartridge works. Looking forward for more similar videos!

Nice methodological fault finding Lee! I have a Toastrack ULA that similarly is perfectly working apart from needing a very high tape input (relative to other ULAs). Not sure if it’s age related, or maybe there was some variability between them when they were made? Anyway, great video - looking forward to seeing more in the next one. 👍

I have another -7 that needed the same tape levels as all the others, it was only the X marked -7 that needed the extra volume. The -7 is supposed to be the best one so I am not sure if this one is slowly failing.

Have anyone tried the EAR socket to load. Works loads better with the TZX duino. Means you can use jumper 2-3.

Hi! I replaced the membrane on my ZX Spectrum 128k+ "Toastrack" but it doesn't work, just the start screen. Can you please tell me what's wrong? Thank you
