DoomsdaysCW<p>So, this was my favorite toy growing up... A "160-in-One" Electronics Kit from <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RadioShack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RadioShack</span></a>. The kit had instructions on how to build a simple, low-powered broadcast radio (and I, of course, had cut off the jack of a microphone cord, which I stripped and added as an sound input). Not satisfied with the range of my "pirate radio station," I added a few extra capacitors, used a stainless steel window screen as an antenna, and soon the neighbors were complaining to my grandparents. Mission accomplished!</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Electronics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElectronicsKits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElectronicsKits</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VintageElectronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VintageElectronics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/STEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>STEM</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HandsOnLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandsOnLearning</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a></p>
paulrickards<p>It may seem like a small thing, but a lead bender like this saves so much time and frustration for through hole components. Highly recommend.
