 MC> I used to build these with my dad when I was a kid.  Taught us
 MC> both how to soder.  I think we bought them at the radioshack
 MC> which had a little area with Heathkits, and you could also
 MC> special order them.

Dad taught me electricity and later some of his friends who were 
Electronic Engineers started teaching me electronics.  Was sort of funny
as I started off as Dad's apprentice and a few years later he became 
mine!

I don't recall if the local Radio Shacks sold any Heathkits; what I 
bought was through the catalog and delivered.
