I made the same one ... I even still have that issue of the magazine !

So do I, in that I've never thrown any of them away since 1972.
I have most of the Everyday Electronics up until it stopped,
and then a complete set of Elektor for some years following.
Also much less complete sets of Practical Electronics,

My collection of PE must date back to the late 60s elektor, ETI, EE and
WW somewhat more sporadic. I still subscribe to E&WW, but I don't think
I'll renew the subscription when it runs out

I think it won't be long until they are all destined for the great skip
in the sky, along with all the IEEE publications etc

Too much 'kin junk !



Practical Wireless, and ETI, when they contained something
which grabbed my attention. I haven't routinely bought any for
last 10 years or so now though, but I do regularly design and
build my own electronic projects.

The problem will be long term stability with veroboard in open air ...

The only one I could find on MAPLIN was the Velleman MK108 kit ...

I recall seeing a built potted module some time back (don't think
it was Velleman). It was quite low power suitable for battery
operation, but had a separate connection for the drying heater,
which made it non-battery suitable if you wanted to use the heater.
