Well, it’s not a surprise. In fact, it is slightly surprising they have lasted as long as they have. Still, it’s sort of a wistful moment. I love all those neat little gizmos and gadgets they sold. I was never skilled enough to build my own ham radio, but I do remember those fun little electronics learning kits and all the (then) hi-tech computer stuff.
At least I still have Edmund’s Scientific for my “gee whiz!”/ amateur mad scientist urges. :-)
I was recently into building stuff from the Ramsey Electronics catalog, but I put it aside for now.
