electronics - Telekosmos-Praktikum Teil 1 von Heinz Richter
- Walter Bright (5/5) Oct 04 2005 I had the KOSMOS Electronik-Labor X as a kid, and enjoyed it immensely.
- Heinz Saathoff (3/10) Nov 11 2005 It's in German! I didn't know that you can read/speak German.
- Walter Bright (3/4) Nov 14 2005 I can usually muddle through, but I'm not fluent.
- MatthiasM (7/12) Jul 27 2006 I can help you out of the mud if needed. I am a native German speaker.
- Walter Bright (8/21) Aug 02 2006 I had a lot of fun with the Kosmos kits. The skills learned come in
- MatthiasM (12/24) Aug 02 2006 Very true. The wiring harness is a holy grail to many mechanics. I even
- Walter Bright (4/14) Aug 12 2006 I know. Sometimes I tell myself "if that bozo can do it, it surely can't...
- Rajiv Bhagwat (8/29) Oct 05 2006 Just to add my 2c worth comment: When I purchased my business premises
- Walter Bright (3/10) Oct 05 2006 I had the same problem with the state tax forms back when I started.
I had the KOSMOS Electronik-Labor X as a kid, and enjoyed it immensely. With the kind permission of KOSMOS, the classic manual for it from 1969 is now online at www.generalatomic.com/teil1/index.html. I hope everyone interested in electronics will enjoy it as much as I did.

Funny that yous ay that about the welding. When I moved to L.A. (with no yearly car inspection like in Germany) I finally had a chance to modify my car. So I bought a simple welder and some sheets and tried everything out until it worked more or less: http://matthiasm.com/xsBug.html The Kosmos kits may not have pushed me into welding, but the certainly showed me that everything, be it as complex as it may, is assembled from tiny logical units that an individual can manage.

Sometimes I tell myself "if that bozo can do it, it surely can't be that hard" and that usually turns out to be right.
