I made my then girlfriend, now my Wife, a Sinclair Calculator which she still has. Impressed with it, I made the Scientific. The good thing about that was no one else at work knew how to drive it with the Reverse Polish notation. I'm not sure what happened to that but in one of my component drawers is a solitary spare blue button for it. Later I made one of his amplifier modules which became part of my first home made TV. I still have a ZX81 and 16k RAM pack but was never a fan. I preferred the Tangerine Microtan. The ZX81 is however just the right shape for a door stop. It's good to recycle things.....
