This web site brought back quite a few memories... I played around with
one
of the 'EE' kits in the early 60's when I was in Thailand---Pop picked
it up
for me when he was in Hong Kong.

Yup, I had one of these as a kid. Probably the EE-20. Loved it. It
was a
sophisticated toy. As I got older, I used (read blew up) a lot of the
components in my own experiments. Sigh.....wish I had kept it intact.

I looked though my stuff and all I could find of my EE20 was a heat sink,
the ferrite rod and the Valvo OA76 diode (I think that diode came from the
kit).

Blew up components is right... I recall electrolytic capacitors coming apart
when they were hooked up wrong---I had to get new 100 mf capacitors.

I remember building the:
Vochtigheidsindicator (moisture indicator)
Automatische nachtlamp
Morse-code apparaat met oortelefoon
Morse-code apparaat met luidspreker

Did you see this link to the EE20?

I tried to download the pdf template file but I didn't get anything.

You're right, they were nicely put together kits. I'll keep my eyes open on
eBay for them---maybe even try the Dutch eBay.
