fair value . Shipping was on time. Everything listed was in package. Manual makes installation easy.
The included earphone gave very week voice and was useless. I have to connect a headset onto it instead the earphone. Finally my son could listen and smiled. My son still doesn't know why the radio works after he made it.
$9 shipping for such small box, wow!

AM Radio Experiment Kit Reviews
Works fine just double check those connections! . We didn't get it going the first time. But after going through it again more carefully, found some of our connections were a bit loose. That did the trick. This is a simple design so your not going to bring in the world. But we did get several stations in clearly. My son loved it. I do have an unfair adavantage because I've built serveral ham radio kits previously and one large project called the k2 from elecraft. Having a kit that does not work the first time around is a very real occurance. I would urge builders to keep trying. 99% of the time with other kits, the problem lies with cold solder joints. Here it will be weak spring connections. A worthy project. These kits have been around forever. Happy to still see them. that should tell you something. All the parts were there. Although every part is easy to find even at your radio shack probably.

AM Radio Experiment Kit Opinions
Radio Science Project . I made this radio as a science project with my 10-year old daughter. It definitely was not an easy build. Directions are...okay..we finally got it done, but it was a long process.
At the end it barely worked--could just hear a tiny voice through the earpiece. It is possible that we miswired along the way--there are a surprising number of connections to make, but no special tools or soldering required.
It does teach how complex such products are, and there was excitement to hear it finally work. It was very easily broken at the science fair as there are so many wire connections that just easily pull out.

Cons Review
You get what you pay for . This little radio is cheap. I can get one very faint AM channel on this radio but you have to struggle to hear it. It was kind of cool putting it together with my nine year old. It has a lot of little parts, but like I said it is cheap and only barely gets one very faint channel. I did everything to boost up the signal but no go. Even plugged it in through my guitar amp. If you live near a AM tower it might be worth it, I mean it was only 10 bucks and it does have a little educational value.
