stormdogThe other amazing thing is this Radio Shack Electronics Learning Lab. This is one of their later ones, made in 2000.
The ones I've found at thrift stores, like the one I grew up with, have an array of common discrete components and a bunch of things to build with them. They're nifty.
This one, on the other hand, not only has a bunch of discrete components, but it's also chock full of ICs and has a real breadboard tapped for various voltages from the 6 AA batteries. It comes with two workbooks, one on ICs and other componentry in general, and the second entirely on digital logic. I'm so excited about working through this!
It was a gift from a Facebook friend who saw my pictures of the ones I've thrifted and said he had one just like it out in his barn he'd send me. Turns out it's actually way cooler than the ones I already had!
Look at all the ICs in here! And MOSFETs too!
