Does anyone here remember what was the precursor
to the Philips Radionic series?

I am thinking of about 1963 which is a few years
before the Philips X20 et seq came about.

I lusted after one of those kits but with 5 of us
brothers and sisters, the Xmas budget limited
each of us to Xmas presents costing £1 only and the electronics kit
was about £3.


Sorry but I'm only 61!

I got the big town plan Lego set for Xmas that year. Only found out this
year that Dad was a hero and ate a lot of cornflakes as it was a
Kellogg's cornflakes coupon offer.

Sometime in mid/late 60's I got a walkie-talkie kit that I think was
Phillips. 3 transistors if I recall.

Also had a kit that had sort of springs that wires connected to make
circuits between the components. Had a LDR, torch bulb, buzzer/speaker
and I think 1 transistor.

Spoilt brat?
