I use a Spectrum in the USA, and it really isn't that difficult. There are a few things to mention:

- Though it is a 220v computer, it can be powered with 9VDC, which is the same worldwide. Just use a universal supply.

- The Spectrum generates composite video natively, and runs it through an RF box. Follow this tutorial to fix it, once you do, it just is composite: http://womblesretrorepairshack.blogs...video-mod.html

- Most importantly, it's a 50Hz computer. Make sure whatever TV you want to use it on at least supports 50Hz. Even if it does, it may not support PAL. If it doesn't, it will be in black and white.

Yes, a +3 would be ideal, but the shipping price is terrible and most British sellers don't ship them overseas because of it. I got mine from a user on these forums, but try World of Spectrum.
