Got this for Christmas one year in the early 1970's:

Quoted from cottonm4:

They (whoever "they" are) need to remake these and call them a Pinball Electronics training kit.

Yes...good early pinball training. Santa was right on the money! Looks like there might be some good parts still there too!

Quoted from DanQverymuch:

I got the one from Lafayette Electronics. It started my electronics career!
There's like an 80% chance I still have it, somewhere...

Nice little unit...looks like you got the deluxe kit! Better find it and relocate those batteries or get an NVRAM though!

Mine looks pretty worn out...with a blown out and leaking capacitor and probably needs a new transistor and transformer. Some things never change!

Quoted from pacmanretro:

Absolutely can't beat any variations of electronic lab as a cool ass present back in the day!
LOVE mine to this day.
I'm not so sure mom's vacuum appreciated all my bits of hook-up wires I'd always have dropped on the carpet, though

Yes...awesome fun with those units back in the day. I remember when Dad kyboshed my 'mod' of trying to hook up a wall plug through the thing to make some gizmo work! Guess that's why the next Christmas I got a Heathkit voltmeter that Dad and I put together!

Quoted from o-din:

You guys and your electronics labs. I'd rather play with uranium.[quoted image]

o-din...that brief case kit makes you a terrist!
