    4.0 out of 5 stars Check the positive battery holder terminals
    Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2019
    Like many others I owned the original Radio Shack version of this 130-in-1 electronics kit decades ago. True, this Elenco version isn't very sturdy. It's light and flimsy. But the overall layout, components, and experiments you can wire together are about the same. The 159-page real paper manual that comes with it is a plus (the PDF is also available for download from Elenco's web site). Each experiment has an overview, a schematic, and wiring connection-by-numbers instructions. Many useful and educational analog circuit designs are included (plus one digital gate logic IC). No microprocessor, computer, smart phone, or software updates required. Yea!!!

    OK, now the quality issues. The first experiments I correctly wired together didn't work at all. I installed two different sets of 6AA batteries (Amazon Rechargeable then Duracell Alkaline). Still nothing. I returned the first one back to Amazon, got a replacement the next day. Both had the same problem. Both had a sticker with Date Code 0119. Hmmmm, manufactured the same day, same problem. I did some basic troubleshooting to try to figure out the problem.

    It turns out the design or manufacture of the battery holder is defective. There is a gap of about 1mm between the + side of each battery and terminals in the holder. Two small plastic tabs at that location prevented the battery connection from being made. My "fix" was to jam a wadded up piece of copper tape to fill the gap at each of the 6 positive battery terminals to complete the battery circuit (aluminum foil would work fine too). Hopefully Elenco will crack the whip at the Chinese factory to fix this, or they'll see a lot of returns for this very simple and silly defect. Check recent reviews to see if the problem has been fixed in newer batches from the factory.

    If you don't have a voltmeter, you can construct a simple circuit to see if power from the batteries is making it to the front panel. Install the batteries and try lighting up the decimal point of the digital display by connecting: 25-121,24-119 or 25-124,24-122

    Most of the experiments I've tried so far worked. But the AM radio receiver circuits are iffy. The only one I could make work was #113: Two-Transistor Radio. I used the supplied long green wire raised up high as the antenna. The signal levels seem too low to work for #112: Crystal Set Radio and #109: Operational Amplifier AM Radio.

    Quality issues aside, I'm keeping it. I'm having too much fun with it. And I have great respect for the designers who created the original analog circuits that can be recreated using this kit.
