@JKirchartz @dbeat_cat_dad @doctorow How I miss the old Radio Shack. They had these 100-or-so in 1 electronic kits that I loved as a kid.

In the last year all I could see were consumer electronics and boring stuff like wireless phones 😢.

Capitalism ruins everything.

160 in one electronic project kit from Radio Shack. It had different electronic components (knobs, switches, resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, coils, meters, lights, an op-amp IC, a 7-segment LED panel, a speaker, a microphone and even a solar cell) wired to numbered springs that you could add wires to according to the manual.
