- Ω - Posted September 30, 2023 Report Posted September 30, 2023 I came across << THIS >> on Amazon. It immediately pressed my "nostalgia button" and reminded me of all the fun I had as a kid. Sadly, since I've downsized in my later years, I no longer have the room "to play" with one. MaximumRD, DegasElite, Smell Dawg and 3 others 6 Quote <<< My YouTube Page >>>
TrekMD Posted September 30, 2023 Report Posted September 30, 2023 I don't think I've seen that before. Lots to learn from playing with it! DegasElite 1 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...
RickR Posted September 30, 2023 Report Posted September 30, 2023 I remember these too! But I never did get one as a kid. Still, once I got old enough to have a few bucks in my pocket, I remember going to Radio Shack to buy all kinds of parts to make whatever and experiment. I remember I came up with a pretty simple little box that would basically flash a red LED every couple of seconds...a simple circuit with an on/off toggle stuffed into a cassette tape box spray painted black. The purpose was to put it on your car dash so thieves might think you have a fancy alarm. I ended up getting a lot of requests from friends for one of those! Ah memories. I still have room and sometimes I'll pull out old stuff like this (or train sets, or slot cars) and set them up in the garage for a while. I'm happy to host if anyone in the area ever gets bored and nostalgic. DegasElite and sramirez2008 2 Quote
