☝️ Thanks to all who contributed recommendations for my friend looking for a modern ZX Spectrum recreation. He will go with The Spectrum by Retro Games as it ticks all his boxes.

Can you recommend modern hardware recreations (no software-only emulators) of the ZX Spectrum that are 100% compatible with the BASIC of the original 48K model and don't cost a fortune?
The devices should be fully assembled but kits or boards with no case are an option. They should also provide connections to modern displays and possibly also external keyboards.
I'm aware of these recreations:
ZX Spectrum Next

ESP32 Rainbow

Recreated Sinclair ZX Spectrum

@amoroso Look at The Spectrum, a recreation of the rubbed key ZX Spectrum that emulates 48K and 128K models.
It has 48 pre-loaded games, can use an external USB pendrive to load more games, USB joysticks and USB keyboards.

Another #zxspectrum rescued!
Upper RAM issue resolved, still needs a colour tune up but it works.
The edge connector needed scrubbing with a glass fibre pen (IPA was not enough on its own), so that the DivMMC would actually work (M1 line perfectly fine).
But it passes tests now 😎
(NB: yellow line is the monitor, not the Speccy)

Nodes of Yesod from the Odin Computer Graphics Team!
Happy 40th Anniversary to Nodes of Yesod! This was the first original game I shipped, way back in 1985 at Odin Computer Graphics, in Liverpool, England. The specific release date seems to be lost in the mists of time, but it was a Crash Smash in the August 1985 issue of Crash magazine, so I’m probably only off by a month or two.
Do you remember playing the game? What did you like or dislike about it?
Some of my memories from that time are shared on my blog: https://blog.stevewetherill.com/2022/02/odin-computer-graphics-part-one-1985.html
