That's not an issue 2 like mine. This one's got clicky buttons, not that rubber sheet I had to put up with. |
Well it does hopefully show that IC sockets weren't included - in that version at least. I would have expected sockets to have been in there in the early version at least, being as SoC adverts all show all of the IC's socketed (So a bit misleading if they never included these, and you had to buy your own), and maybe then removed these for cost-cutting.
I suppose they could have added them later on, as even ready-built ZX81's & Spectrum's often had many of the more expensive IC's socketed, but was a bit variable over the years as to which ones had sockets (Luckily, always the ULA at least).
