Restoration Project #69 - Neckermann 150-in-1
This is an electronics kit from the mid 1960s. So it does predate myself by a few years. I had a totally different style when I was a little kitten, but this did fit into my collection. Must have been one of the earlier kits overall. It was sold by the German company "Neckermann", although I am not quite sure if the also made it... Anyhow, I found this one on ebay again, and it was almost complete and almost working... well... you can see the minor issues in the video!
