This web site brought back quite a few memories... I played around with

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.

Ha. That's takes me right back to '66.

I was so keen to put the radio together I did not bother with understanding
resistor colour codes, I just banged anything in for the resistors. Then
one of the electroylitics went "Bang!". Happy days.
