Sinclair b/w tv
Does anyone remember these? small 2 inch screen, came out in the mid/late 80's?
Did anyone have one?
Just found mine in a box (wondered where it had got to
) and need to know what the power supply was as i cannot at this time find the instructions 
Anyone help?

I still have one of them sinclair portable tvs..Found it the attic the other month and amazing its still got the original box,which is unusual for me still to have that!
I'm sure i've got the original power adaptor somewhere? if thats lost i'm sure you can use one of them universal power adaptors you can buy in argos or if you are very lucky,see if you still can buy the flat batteries for the tv,i think they were made by Polaroid?

I've still got one too and its well dead.
Brought mine down a minute ago and connected it up to original power adaptor and it still works perfectly,amazingly pin sharp picture and good sound not bad for a British made electrical item from the early eighties
Btw the power adaptor you need must run at 6 volts and has a small socket plug end.
