Timex-Sinclair
"Uncle" Clive Sinclair wasn't just successful on this side of the pond; he managed to break into the US market as well, first with the ZX81 and then with machines jointly developed with the Timex Corporation - the TS1000 (a 2K ZX81), TS1500 (16K ZX81 in a Spectrum style case), TS2000 (48K Spectrum) and the TS2068 (massively enhanced Spectrum). Later on Timex of Portugal released the TC2048.
All but two of the museum's current TS inhabitants are unused and came from a loft in New York (the real one, not the toy one in the North-East of England :) I'm not sure I want to open the poly bags! They're all in excellent nick considering they've been sat up in an attic for roughly 18 years.
