# Review: The Fantastic Music Machine

The Fantastic Music Machine gives the Timex/Sinclair 1000, Sinclair ZX81 or “8K BASIC” ZX80 the ability to play music with no hardware additions. If you have cassette-recorder storage and a TV set display, you’re ready to bloop and bleep with this $10 toy. The sound comes from your television speaker or an AM radio placed near the computer. The signal is also available from the T/S 1000’s cassette port.
