Think it's worth anything it just better to keep it

Yeah about $4.00

 

[stuiec]

Nice! I had that one too. Whatcha gonna build first? lie detector? decibel meter? :thumbsup:

 

[gnuuser]

had one too but my favorite was this
heathkit hero robot
it was fun to build and program
i may get another one

 

[papaotis]

i almost forgot about heathkit! are they still in business?

 

[Voltron]

Can you still get decent quality sets like that one? Seems like we have gotten the kids modern versions on a smaller scale and they were low quality. Easy for them to lose interest.

 

[MTW]

All trash.

^^^^^^can u leave again?

Oh hell no! A siren driver!

Yes. Radio Shack carries these and Arduino project kits. Nuts and Volts Magazine has all kinds of small to wayyyy advanced propeller and up kits.

Same for me. And RadioShack has a newer model that I have too

 

[LARMGUY]

Here is the latest and greatest.


TPS, Tibbo Project System

There is even an online configurator.
Select the project you want to build, name it, place the modules on the board and the program will notify you of potential problems and even calculate the power consumption.

I had a few kits like that when I was a kid.

 

[Military Veteran]

Had something like that in Australia,Phillips Electronic Engineer, had the tube version you could build stuff like a guitar amp 10 tube radio or a ham transmitter 2kV plate voltage imagine that today for these ***** kids.Some stuff had hot chassis series or parallel tube heaters.

Had that exact same kit when I was a kid, it was awesome. I still remember how neat I thought it was when I built my first transistor amplifier circuit on that. Felt like I was really entering the big-leagues. :laughing:
