Having watched too many Big Clive videos I decided to have a go at a simple
digital clock kit from eBay.

The result was fairly decent and I enjoyed all the soldering so Im keen to
have a go at a few more cheap kits for soldering practice.

Of course these kits arent actually teaching me anything (other than
soldering skills) and Id like to progress to understanding a bit more
about the design and function of components/circuits.

So, any recommendations for basic and more advanced kits that wont break
the bank? At the moment looking at a cheap Tesla coil kit on eBay.

Small Tesla coils are useful if you can adjust the output power.

Go on, what the hell would you want to limit the wallymitts for,
mobile phone charging?

Unless you are setting up in a sauna, I was of the impression that the
main practical use of Tesla coils was to impress the youtube
fraternity without the expense of "lighting the blue touch paper".
