This looks entertaining!

I've been having a lurk around and decided to dive in. Mostly I like to play with ham radio (KL5A) and have a couple old Heathkits waiting for some restoration, but now that I have a grandson who is tech oriented I thought it might be fun to build some DIY electronics and see if I can get that squiirel running in his head. Right now I'm thinking I'd like to find a simple hollow state amp suitable for breadboarding that was can build together, like the ones I dabbled in as a young teen and mostly didn't electrocute myself with.
Cheers from NoMi!

Circuit board, or point to point?

Gnomad · 2nd December 2020, 08:45 PM

point to point. I'd like to show him the flow though the circuit and besides breadboard tube stuff looks cool.
I've heard you can do circuit boards on a cricket but approval of SWMBO might be problematic.

I do have a collection of mystery tubes and some hollow state donor radios, people tend to kick them to the curb in our area. Picked up a nice Philco console and a record player not to long ago.
