More of interest to other users than myself, but I'm curious as to what could be in this auction.

What is that picture of a white keyboard - did they make external keyboards for the Spectrum?
You'll notice in the second auction for a Spectrum cartridge, is a photo of a Sinclair QL microdrive.

I couldn't make it out either. It looks like some kind of peripheral?

You remove the top of the Spectrum case, and the keyboard connects directly to the PCB, so there is probably a spectrum 48K up inside there.

matches the photo, and the printer pic matches the normal spectrum printer as well.
Could be quite a decent haul.
