Bayko sounds familiar. Is that the original 1930s constructor set that
started off looking like a hedgehog? Even as a youngun I could see that
being a total hazard.

I'm not quite old enough for the 1930s, but probably.

Rectangular green base (these could be joined to make a bigger base) with
small blind holes at a regular spacing. Thin rods of different lengths to
fit those (yes, a bit dangerous). Then 'bricks', which were thin slips of
plastic with outlines of actual bricks on them, concave half round edges,
so they slid between the rods and could be stacked. Wimdows, doors, etc.
likewise. Various roof shapes to fit on top.

And the Philips kit, the advanced one. That started me on electronics.

ditto. Spent no end of time trying to figure out where the voltages
changed

It was good fun.
