I have fond memories of watching my dad put together Heathkit components. That was good quality and a great learning experience.

The kids today don't know what they are missing (back cover of a 1961 Analog Fact-Fiction magazine):

Vast majority of kids today only know the On button, remote control, mouse and touch screen, and care nothing about what’s inside the case.

And, they’ve no patience to break open the bits and pieces and learn, being accustomed to and expecting instant feedback and gratification.

Maybe it’s too mysterious or overwhelming now, like cars.

Sad.
