I had never seen one before, I didn&#8217;t know I wanted it, but I knew what it was and that I had to have it.  It was misplaced as it quietly sat on the table hidden amongst the usual kitchen appliances&#8211; perhaps a worn out toaster, over-used coffee percolator, stained crock pot, and even an outdated table lamp with a torn shade&#8211;  on a table where it didn&#8217;t belong, quite possibly overlooked, because nobody else would dare search for such an item in the appliance section of a garage sale.  This single item sparked an interest as a young kid that kindled into my radio hobby and electronic career.  This item was none other than the Science Fair 150-in-1 Electronic Kit.  I paid 75 cents for the kit and that very afternoon, while visiting my grandfather in Lansing, Michigan, I built my first radio receiver, an AM Crystal Set Receiver.  The kit did not come with a manual, so how I figured out the circuit on my own is still a mystery to me.  This was in 1981.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/kb0p.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-428\" width=\"397\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"http:\/\/kb0p.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image.png 959w, http:\/\/kb0p.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-300x207.png 300w, http:\/\/kb0p.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/image-768x529.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It started out innocently enough; just an unsuspecting skip down a suburban street on a warm July day and there it was.
