8.1 INTRODUCTION 
Parts lists for the ZX Spectrum are provided in table form; one for the case assembly and another for the 
board assembly. The latter covers the Issue 2 and 3 Spectrums and is related to the board layout diagrams 
available here and here. 
The  board  assembly  parts  list  also  lists  the  alternative  components  which  the  service  engineer  will 
occasionally find on production versions of the Issue 2 board or may introduce retrospectively in order to 
improve  performance.  These  components  are  listed  in  the  column  headed  `ISSUE  2  MODS`  with 
references to the notes against them. These notes are explained below. 
8.2 NOTES TO PARTS LIST 
 
1.  The alternative values given for R47, R49, R56 and R63 are used if the ULA fitted it Type 6C001. 
2.  The alternative values for R48, R50, R72 and C65 are introduced to improve the colour quality. 
3.  C74 is essential on all Issue 2 boards and should be fitted retrospectively. At the same time R60 
must be replaced with the larger value.
