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.

I had a Trix electrical set (1950 ish).


Clive Sinclair offered a few kits for radios and audio amps.


Surely they were to construct specific devices rather than multiple
different ones/experimentation, which is what this thread is about.


I remember seeing one - an audio pre-amp - which used skeleton controls
(presets) for volume and tone, etc. Obviously not expecting it to last for
long. ;-)
