Is that the one with the good manual? Most of these spring clip electronics sets come with pretty crappy manuals, very light on theory and with uninspired circuits (i.e. in "130 in 1" there are maybe 10 good circuits and endless variations of those).
Whereas an Elenco brand kit I found at the thrift store came with a fantastic manual, that taught electronics right from the basics, using the kit's components to illustrate as it went.
- ansible 4y agoYeah, I faced that issue as well. I had three kits, IIRC: 1. Radio Shack crystal radio. That was relatively simple, but I don't think the manual explained how it worked too well. 2. Radio Shack 10-in-1 Jr Electronic Lab Kit. I don't recall how good the manual was, but I didn't really learn much from that. 3. Some unknown brand 150-in-1 kit. IIRC that basically just had circuit diagrams, and didn't really explain anything.
- Aunche 4y ago>an Elenco brand kit That's the one that I linked! I managed to find their manual online. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/235888/Elenco-Electronics-Ep-50.html#manual https://www.manualslib.com/manual/235888/Elenco-Electronics-...
- MarkusWandel 4y agoYep, that's how I remember it (I passed the kit on to nephews in another town). An earnest attempt to teach electronics. Night-and-day difference to the typial Radio Shack N-in-1 kits.
