Dear Alex Thankyou for reply. At the moment my son is 8. He is pulling apart old telephones, fax machines and TVs under my supervision. He has completed a lot of exercises in the Jaycar Electronics Books here is Australia with the spring type boards. I am struggling to keep up with the amount of interest he has in this field. I have a 30VDC power supply regulated to provide the necessary power for any projects that he can build on a breadboard. I am not pushing his interest. If any thing I am trying to slow it down. Doing the projects are also away that we can both learn together and have some fun. I don't believe in setting kids in front of video games. Getting out and doing things with my kids in what they like is the way to go. Kind Regards Michael
