I have a 30 in 1 and a 160 in 1. They really were
great to learn with. If I
ever spawn, I'll probably unleash it on the larvae.
FWIW, I always prefered the Philip EE series of kits. Rather than just
conencitng wies between spring terminals,. you got to handle 'real'
components which you conneted to spring terminals. And some of the
circutis were quite interesting (I had the old UK system EE1003, 1004,
1105). I can remember building a beat-frequence audio oscillator, a wien
bridge auto oscilaltor (with a lamp to stabilise it ;-)), several
superhet radios and measuing the response of the IF transformer.
