If you want to see all the kits, there is a site with scans of many old Radio Shack catalogs. They had springs that you would push down, insert a wire, and then the spring would clamp the wire. You can see them in some of the pictures above. There were little aluminum terminals used for off-box connections. Made a mess of your iron and also released oh-so-wholesome fumes. You were told to use your soldering iron to make holes for the things like pots. In fact, the shortwave radio was a few bucks more than most of them, although there were a few that were even more, but - in 1975, at least - none of them were over $9.
In 1975 there were twenty of them, but over the years there were about thirty different kits.

You might think $7.95 is crazy cheap, but that was at least a tank full of gas or four movie tickets in those days, and most of us didn’t have a lot of money as kids, so you probably saved your allowance for a few weeks, did chores, or delivered papers to make $8. On the left, you can see a picture of the radio from the 1975 catalog. In those days, you could pick up a lot of stations on shortwave and it was one of the best ways at the time to learn more about the world. One of my favorites was a three-transistor regenerative shortwave receiver.

There was at least one that had an IC, but that came premounted on a PC board that you treated like a big component. The perfboard was pretty coarse, too, because the components were all big discrete components. So you bought the kit - which might be a radio or a metal detector - opened the box and then built the kit using the box as the chassis. It was like a piece of perfboard, but made of plastic, built into a plastic box. P-Box was the kind of box the kit came in. The obvious questions are: What’s a P-Box and why do I want one? But the kit wasn’t to make a P-Box. While Radio Shack never gave us access to the variety and economy of parts we have today, they did have one thing that I wish we could get again: P-Box kits. Enjoy, and please bookmark you are under a certain age, you probably associate Radio Shack with cellphones.
