Wooo! more working ZX Spectrums in my house :D
thanks again to @mavica_again . It even included a Dymo label for the TV connection to mark these as composite. exactly the right vibe imho.
I know who to contact next time I need an old computer repairing.

@lexbailey and another one is alive and happy after a Z80 swap :)
unfortunately in a bit of a state right now since it's being tested with the wrong matching keyboard 😅
huge thankyou to @mavica_again who fixed one of my ZX Spectrums, and is currently fixing two more for me :)
It did a very thorough job of repairing, tuning, and composite-modding this machine that was really showing its age. It now has a lovely stable image with all the right colours.
If you need an old computer fixing up, definitely see if Mavica has some time :)
turns out the carriage starts at an offset of 60 steps, so when i was scaling data to a full page width of 960 steps everything was offcenter to the right. i've corrected this in pypenwriter and made it not issue redundant moves to minimise penup/pendown noise
(this picture being offcenter is just due to the scale not matching the paper)
my sister @angela really needs a break and some good things towards its way right about now
you can celebrate the 40th #macintosh anniversary with #webgbcam's 1bpp Atkinson dithering mode
