    We must be about the same age, Scott. I had one of those too, and of course the first thing I built was the most complicated thing in the little instruction book! But, it worked.....:D

    I loved my Erector set and my Legos.
    Then I got to love Legos again along with K'Net with my boys.
    Both of my grandfathers love building stuff out of wood with me.
    I look forward to some day being able to build with grand kids.

    Puts me in mind of my old MK 114 Mod 7 analog ASW fire control system made up of several boxes full of syncros and servos or, as we called them 'wobbly wheels and wiggly pins'.
