These Kits make excellent learning projects for class room studies.
The unique design of these kits allows you to place the parts over its corresponding symbol in the schematic drawing on the surface of the printed circuit board during assembly. This technique maximizes the learning process while keeping the chances for an assembly error at a minimum.
The kits include an assembly, lesson and theory of operation manual. The actual assembly is broken into simple sections. Each section should be completely tested before moving on.
Working with printed circuit boards is the future of every electronics technician. Almost every electronic device today has a printed circuit board and whether you are assembling a PC board or repairing it, you must understand the basics of working with these boards.

** AM 550K RADIO KIT **
** AM Radio, Learn How It Works, And Build One Too.
This Superhet AM550 AM Radio Kit from
is a "superheterodyne" receiver of the standard AM
(amplitude modulation) broadcast frequencies. Unlike the typical "cheap" AM
radio kit, the AM550 features an integrated circuit design to bring you into
today's technology of radio receivers. The high quality design includes a
built-in integrated circuit (IC), 3 transistors, one diode, as well as
resistors, capacitors and coils, The unique design of the Superhet 108 includes an
integral integrated circuit (IC), 9 transistors, 4 diodes, and other related
resistors, capacitors, coils, misc. parts and customer designed hardware. Before
you even start building, construction techniques and soldering practices are
illustrated and covered in detail. In addition a comprehensive parts list
complete with a color code card is provided for rapid identification of all
discrete parts.
This is a great starter kit for the students young and old.

**Model 1056 Receiver kit
Click on image to enlarge
Model 1056 single band direct conversion receiver kit. This is your best buy, by
far, in a ham band direct conversion receiver kit. It has better audio and
filtering than the others, and we supply all of the parts and instructions to
let you build it for (or change it to) ANY band of your choice. There are only
minor coil and capacitor differences in the simple RF input and oscillator
sections of a basic direct-conversion receiver. We give you ALL parts needed to
build for your choice of 160, 80, 75, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12 or 10 meters! Try
out your own multi-band switching ideas. An ideal receiver for use with a
homebrew QRP transmitter! MUTE function included for use with your transmitter.
We recommend case (undrilled, no holes) TPx-45 for this receiver, available in
unpainted aluminum, black or charcoal. Order TP-45 for aluminum, TPB-45 black,
TPC-45 charcoal. Building skill level: Beginner to intermediate. Must be able to
solder, read instructions, and use small hand tools.
Specifications:
The goal of these kits is to educate builders of all age groups in all the principles needed to design and build electronics kits.
Price: $32.00 + shipping

**Model 1253 Receiver kit
Click on image to enlarge
Model 1253 9 band regenerative shortwave receiver kit.
The classic “first radio kit” is back better than ever! We’ve combined the very
same audio output circuit of Ten-Tec transceivers with a modern FET design for
classic regenerative SWL receiving plus one-button electronic band switching.
The result is an easy-to-build shortwave radio that’s fun and interesting for
the whole family. No alignment required! Simply install all parts as directed,
put together the high quality mechanical parts and start enjoying the magic of
shortwave radio. Explore 9 smooth tuning SWL and ham bands from 1.8 to 22 MHz at
the push of a button! Receives AM, SSB and CW. Features: All parts and cabinet
and internal speaker are provided with kit. Just add DC power with 8 internal
“C” cell batteries or connect 12-15 Vdc power to rear panel mounted jack.
Front-panel RF gain, volume, regeneration, tuning, and fine-tuning controls.
Signetics TDA 2611A audio chip provides generous audio output via the top
mounted internal speaker or via rear panel headphone/external speaker jack.
