Build Your Own Crystal Radio
A good basic kit with everything you need to build a very simple crystal radio. This is not hi-tech hi-fi. Geared for ages eight and up, it is a complete kit with wonderfully straight forward instructions which walk the experimenter through hooking up tuning needle, crystal diode, and earphone, and experimenting to find useful antennas. (Sorry wire coil is already wound.) Excellent education, recreation and discovery device all at the same time. A simple kit with hours of fun in it.

Metal Detector For The Short
The only thing that makes this metal detector a toy is the length of the wand (approx 29") which means that full-sized grown-ups may find themselves stooping a bit. That, plus it's lime green and orange, otherwise, it's the best-working toy detector we've ever seen, sensing keys a full 10" away. Has a power switch, adjustable sensitivity, and breaks down into (4) pieces for storage, with solid, metal screw-together extensions. The coil is 5" dia x 12" long, and can be removed for use as a hand wand, in case you're opening your own airport or training the kids for the TSA. Uses (1) 9V battery, not included. No earphone attachment.

Intruder! Intruder!
Someone has entered your room! You're not in there to catch them, but the infrared light barrier you built has sounded the alarm! This Velleman MK120 mini kit includes all the components for both the 2" x 1-1/2" transmitter and 4" x 2" receiver (sizes approximate). The transmitter and receiver can be installed up to 12-1/2 ft apart. Breaking the infrared beam between them sets off an 85 dB alarm and lights an LED. Includes instructions, a schematic, 9-volt battery holders and adapter jacks (but not the solder, soldering gun, or the 2 batteries or adapters).
