Radio Shack Science Fair 200-in-1 Electronic Project Kit manual
Hydrawerk:
There is some collection of electronic kit manuals. http://www.zpag.net/Electroniques/Kit/Electronic_Kit.htm
There is the first half of Maxitronix 500 in 1.

Unfortunately, the scan quality is mediocre.
I do not own the www.zpag.net.

That's exactly how it was with me. Either with this kit or my 60-in-1 kit, I'd follow the instructions and put the projects together, but I really never understood anything but the most basic basics. The manuals describe how transistors amplify things but don't describe exactly how they amplify things. When using a 3-leg or 5-leg transformer, the manual doesn't describe how or why it works. And there's no real description of how and why the various components work together in the way they do to get the desired results, such as for a very simple oscillator. Even now, past 40 years old, my electronics knowledge is really not much better than it was when I was a kid playing with these kits, so I'm still essentially a beginner.

Wow that's awesome! Nice scan. That must have been a lot of work.
I still have mine in the basement somewhere, I should dig it up, as back as a kid I just followed the instructions and did what it said with absolutely zero understanding of what was going on, if I went through it again I'd probably actually understand stuff more. Pics i took a while back when this subject came up on another forum.

Hi all,
If you're still looking for the manual of the Gakken 150 project kit in wooden box, I can scan it for you.
This project kit has some unusual circuits, like frequency doubler and regenerative radio receiver.
Nowadays, I use the Maxitronix 300 in 1 kit. I have also a scanned manual. For this kit I've made small wire bridges in different colours, so the breadboard is not too crowded.

Hi all,
So I've scanned the manual of the Gakken aka Neckermann kit. It seems that some parts are placed differently, but the numbered connections are the same.
Sorry, only in German, because this kit was published by Neckermann in the seventies.
I remember staring at this project kit in their catalogue back then;
My parents told me then I was to young, so I got an Electricity kit with lamps and motors instead :-DD
But thanks to ebay, they can purchased relatively cheap these days.
I will try to publish a photo one of these days.
So, here are the links of the manual, even and uneven pages.

As promised, a picture of the Neckermann version of the 150in1 kit.
Thanks to Wilfred who combined the 2 pdf's into one, here you can download the combined zip :
