I like many of you had my first experience with electronics through
the electronic kits that Radio Shack has had over the years. The
versions that spanned the 50, 100, 200 electronic experiments all
come to mind.

My question is...how many versions and types of these kits have they
had over the years?

I would be interested in hearing which ones you recall.

My hobby began in 1973 when I got a Thomas Salter Electrical Lab 4 for
Christmas.

I got one of these 150-in-1 IC experimenters kits for Christmas in 1974:

The UK version wasn't badged "Lafayette". Regrettably, I trashed it for the
parts many years ago, although I still have the wooden case.
