Re: Real breadboard builds

My father bought a transistor radio kit from an advert in the Sunday paper which claimed "Even a child can build it".

My father couldn't get it working - so gave it to me. That started my 60 years of electronics. "No soldering needed" - it wasn't a breadboard though - more a rat's nest with 8BA nuts and bolts to join wires together.
