British toys, too.

a lot. Out of safety fears, however, modern chemistry sets are a sad,

The funny part is I naively didn't know it was supposed to be hard, and justI can imagine how tough it must be to figure all this out while also
having to learn the electronics side.

Hello Walter,
base. It's the only way to get to know the people of a country. When I
was a kid I sometimes helped an American who lived off base wash his
huge Pontiac. Compared to that many German cars looked a bit like Tonka
toys. Then we moved to the US and the first morning in our house we woke
up to a loud roar. Ah, that was the sound of a genuine GTO that a
neighbor had painstakingly restored.
WRT to toys I agree that Europe had better ones when it came to real
hobbyist areas, where money is a secondary concern for those who take it
seriously. But on the electronics front it was the other way around. In
the US there was a Radio Shack even in the most remote town. When I
needed a part in Germany that meant a lengthy train ride into
Duesseldorf or scrap it out of some old TV. Now you see Radio Shacks
here in the US closing. Ours just became a cell phone store. Sigh.

Well, the usual. Like "Oh, this or that statement isn't 100% accurate".

In Bremen and Oldenburg you will find a better situation, if you know,

consisted of real parts. And yes, that occasionally meant breaking off a
lead of the precious AF116 and having to crack the piggy bank. Four
Deutschmarks. Ouch. On the other hand one could add stuff from the
regular electronics stores and try a totally different design.

Hallo Holger,
there. Duesseldorf always had the electronics store "Arlt" but for me
the only way to get to them was to change S-Bahn trains at Hauptbahnhof.
Then again, try that in the US. No S-Bahn :-(
Later we also had Nadler which was easier to reach. You could walk there
from Hauptbahnhof.
