David, I was born in 1963 (not far from you) (Yes, I am a puppy too!) and
That Radio Shack 150 in 1 electronic project kit was Great!!!! I learned so
much as a kid in the 6th and 7th Grade with that kit, and like you I built
all those Archer Kits, Heath kits and Crystal Radio's. (Awwh the memories!
LOL) Just had to say something when I saw your post, so similiar to my own.
Also Happy Birthday Grady!
