This is a fabulous little product! Using the basic concepts of early valve radio, utilising transistors in other stages and a modern integrated circuit to make the final amplification, this radio transcends the ages of electronic innovation. Instructions are straightforward but the photographs in the leaflet are reproduced sub-optimally and are best viewed on the web-site (www.eight-innovation.com/dir/instructions). Soldering is a little tricky so learn on something else beforehand if you are not familiar (ten minutes practice after watching YouTube should do!) Have a pair of wire strippers / cutters and some small pliers to hand and you are ready to go. A basic explanation of the circuit is provided but for the curious this could benefit from taking a deeper dive. It is one thing to assemble items but the real joy comes from an understanding of how things actually work – at least for me that is. Don't expect too much though! This is how radios used to work and they take time and patience to get a signal through – it's nothing like a modern-day equivalent! A delightful project that offers a practical approach to learning and development: from teenagers to my age – 70! Highly recommended.
thanks so much for this amazing review Chris! How brilliant! Your comments regarding the instructions and the tools that you need are very helpful thanks. Hope you enjoy the radio. We've had some very good feeback on the other 8 Innovation products that we stock so I hope you can check those out at some point. best wishes, The MAD Factory team.
