A vintage dB Spectrum+ personal computer with its original box and accessories.

Over the last weekend I vacated my apartment and gifted, or donated, or discarded about ninety percent of my belongings. But I couldn’t let go of my first ever home computer. My parents bought it for me in 1991 or so. Made by Sinclair, it was marketed as the dB Spectrum+ in India. In the US it was known as the ZX Spectrum+, as can be seen on the manual.
