DSE Funway Into Electronics
vk3yedotcom:
I scour the local charity shops for interesting things.
Electronics/radio books and kits are high on my list.
They are very rare but occasionally I strike gold.
Like I did two days ago where I found a Funway 1 book and parts packaged up for $6.
Anyways here's a look at my haul and an attempt at one project.

It's what got me started in electronics. 8th Birthday present was the funway volume 2 that came with a soldering iron, fm bug, solder. There was one other but can't remember.

If that is the wife's cleavage it is a wonder you have time to get into Funway into Electronics. Funway into something else maybe... :-DD
You might want to consider changing the photo :palm: .

Never seen that video before Peter. Excellent production. I know or have known a few of those blokes in the video. I still see Eugene every few weeks. I started with a Tandy 100-in-kit. I never got into Funway, but there was some innovation there for sure.
Most people have left hardware electronics over the years. I used to work at IBM where out of about 150 engineers in my workplace, up until recently there were only two of us left doing hardware design. The rest moved on into other fields; most of them non-technical. The other guy who was older than me recently retired. Sadly, I believe I am the only one left.

Just found this internal DSE staff training video on Funway into Electronics. 1986.
(Due to viewer interest/encouragement I'll be doing videos on assembly of some FW1 projects. A series will start soon so subscribe if you haven't already.)
