Fascinating - that link is definitely a 'keeper'!

I rather like the excellent detailed pictorial building instructions from a 1969 Lafayette kit radio at this link:

I agree David, a case of a square peg in a round hole....Alan.

Yes! but why were they called "Breadboard sets"? A friend, who is 82, and has been in the radio hobby from younger than Jamie told me that they often used to use a breadboard. It was a handy sized piece of wood to screw everything. Anyway a nice story.
