I have been seraching for this for something like 40 years. Had it when I was a kid and gained a basic understanding of schematics and circuitry while I was in 5th grade thereabouts. My kit provided me endless entertainment and was way tidier than the spring-based and/or wire-wrap boards of the time. I don’t know why this is not available in every toy store on the planet. Thank you so much for posting this!!!

I had a Lectron kit as a child in the early 1970s, but I have not seen one in years (neither mine nor any for sale). Thanks for posting about it! I’m glad to hear they still make them (and have modern refinements like LEDs).

Here’s a link to someone writing about a similar kit from HIS childhood http://www.lifeaftercoffee.com/2006/05/24/bloc-tronic-electronics-toy/

(As you can see from the comments I got excited when I found his site, too.)
