Remember this? 150 in 1 Electronic Project kit.

I used to LOVE these things. I had the 100 in 1, 150 and 200 in one. These were the coolest toys. You could build radios, transmitters, solar meters, lightning detectors, even a couple of basic digital devices. These kits really taught me a lot and kept me out of trouble. Sigh... parents need to buy their kids SMART toys like these more often.

I had one of those

I remember making some kind of cool oscillator circuit with it that made strange electronic sounds

I had a chemistry set. One time I mixed some bug spray and some of the chemicals together and corked it. A few minutes later it blew the cork off and all this foamy, extremely smelly shit spewed out and got all over the coffee table and stained the carpet.

That was the end of my chemistry set. And pretty much the end of my summer as well.

i made a lie detector

I had a chemistry set too. One time I was using the alcohol burner thing and my baby sister knocked it over and I set the kitchen carpet on fire. I got yelled at for months over that and I still fucking hear about it once in a while now thirty something years later.

radio shack special. i remember woodburning kits and rocktumblers @ toysRus too

RandyD · 09-03-2011, 02:16 AM

Yeah, they were utter shit - got so boring you'd end up putting 9v through the 2v capacitor just to watch it explode

Mike Honcho · 09-03-2011, 02:19 AM

No, but I did have one of these

Emil · 09-03-2011, 02:28 AM

I had something similar. I was always sooo disappointed when you've added ~40 wires and it didn't work at all.

Edit:
Here's a very similar to the one I had.

My Pimp · 09-03-2011, 02:39 AM

My parents did not want to buy it. They said it was to expensive.

Klen · 09-03-2011, 02:45 AM

I think i had telephone set lol

seeandsee · 09-03-2011, 03:19 AM

I had that exact one, probably 35 years ago. What a wonderful thing it was. When I became more proficient with electronics I still used it as a prototyping tool.

rowan · 09-03-2011, 03:33 AM

I had one of those, also had a "build your own microcomputer" one from the mid 1980s. It had 8 LEDs for addressing (all in binary), a single digit display (hexadecimal), 16 keys, and you had to program it in machine code.

Ahh, here it is

More info: http://vintagecomputer.livejournal.com/67414.html

It was pretty clumsy and a bit flimsy. I remember cutting up the cardboard backing and soldering everything together a couple of years later.

BIGTYMER · 09-03-2011, 03:35 AM

Had a chemistry set. Man did that sulphur stink!

I bought the 100 in 1 kit at radio shack when I was 8 years old after returning a crappy remote control car that hardly worked. Figured something like this would never break down and I was right. A few months later I started buying electronic parts, soldering gear and wires lol I was hooked on electronics since then and have always tinkered with them.

It's true though. parents SHOULD be buying their kids toys like this.

Dirty D · 09-03-2011, 06:11 AM

Totally agree.

I had the electronics kit, the chemistry set, rock tumbler, wood burning kit, and a work bench in the basement.

Exorcize your kids mind and they will be more successful.
