Dear Radiophiles,
I would like to ask everybody to put more information of the Raytheon Lectron kits to RMorg; this Lectron 800 kit is the only one which is documentated. There were a lot of other kits with Egger/Braun "electronic dominoes", like Series 2 (43 projects), Instruction Manual (base version?), Supplementary Instruction Manual No. 1 and so on.
Wikipedia extract from June 20th, 2011: "...A standard kit consisted of 18 individual building blocks with expansion packs available to create additional circuits. The Mini Lectron starter kit retailed for US$19.99 with a full kit retailing for US$129.99... "
These manuals (and the number of "dominoes" of the kits) may not have the same contents than the original ones, so any information (catalogues etc.) may be helpful to complete the Lectron scene since 1966.
Thank you in advance,
G.S.
