A sort of Soviet ZX Spectrum clone...with one of the more interesting magnetic reed switch designs. Also not terrible for linear switches.

Have you tried it as a computer?
I've seen a few sellers offering NIB Soviet-made Spectrum clones that look very similar. Sort of want one, but it feels odd to spend $60 on the unit and then another sixty to ship it.
Us Americans never got the Spectrum; we got the Timex/Sinclair 2068 (roughly similar, keyboard slightly less weird but still calculator-style) which hit the market with a thud.

Nah, I only got the keyboard. Personally, I try to focus on keyboards rather than vintage computing. Otherwise I'd have no more room for keyboards

Nice! I had spectrum-clone, but it had really awful keyboard... not like this one. More like original Spectrum 48 one.

Stamped '1991', rough times. Soviet, the former nation that produced some of my favorite cameras. Nice one!

Heh, seems this clone keyboard might even be better than the chiclet original...
