If I were you I'd send it to Tony at Electronic Explorations in Lombard, Illinois.
I live 10 minutes from Tony and he's the Best I've run into with Whites machines.
Tony has been with Whites for I think over 30 years if I'm not mistaken. I've
known Tony for about 12 years now and if it's a Whites repair I need, he is the
go to guy. Honest as the day is long. So send him your Spectrum and you'll
have no regrets, neither will the Grand-daughter.I see Tony quite often whether
it's picking up my Treasure mags. or just to say Hello. Trust me on this, you
can't go wrong with Electronic Exploration. Great guy and an Electronic Genius.
Good Luck.

P.S. Pick up the small 5.3 coil (6.59 khz) for this machine as Tony has them in stock along
with other older coils . (brand new on his shelves) It'll lighten the load for your grand-daughter
and she'll love you for it. Hope this truly helps you out!!!
