Made up new RGBS+audio and magnetophone (aka cassette) input.

Pinout of the RGB (again) is:

Pin 1 = red
Pin 2 = green
Pin 3 = blue
Pin 4 = synch
Pin 5 = sound
Sheath = ground

Loaded a modern ZX Spectrum game with no issues: Vradark's Sphere.

Finally I checked the temperature on some of the parts.

The linear regulator & heatsink were quite hot after several hours, around 48°C.

The two КР556РТ1 (KR556RT1) programmable logic arrays were similarly about 48°C, the two КР573РЕ6 (KR573RE6) 8KB ROMs were about 45°C and the Z80 at 47°C.

I would normally heat sink these to help distribute the heat a little better.
