 Construction OK..shame radio doesn't work. December 27, 2003
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
My son got this kit as a gift. My husband and son worked on this radio together. My husband, who has a degree in electronics, explained different parts to my son and told him what they did. After all the parts were connected they put the radio in the case and found it did not work. My husband went through all the connections and checked them to be sure they were good. Still didn't work. Our only conclusion is that there is something wrong on the circuit board. He will have to check that next. A person with minimal electronics experience would not be able to try and "fix" this. All in all, a disappointing kit.

This started out as a great project for my 10 year old nephew and my husband. They worked together to do the wiring and were having a great time. However, when they got to the "easy" part (putting all of the components in the plastic case) things went downhill. The plastic was so misconstructed that things would not "snap" in properly, the knobs would not fit through the holes, etc. The radio is now held together by tape, my nephew is very disappoionted, and my husband is very aggrevated! What a sad ending to our evening.
