The two and three transistor radio's work really well. Actually I only had the EE8 kit without the add-on but a pal had the add-on so I built the two transistor set in my kit and then copied the output stage from his and added it to mine using a few scrap components and an AC128 and a speaker that I pinched out of a radio. It worked well....Christmas 1965 and I was 13 years old. The first tune I heard was 'The Toys, Lovers Concerto' on what was then the Light Program (now Radio 2 for those that are too young to remember these things)!
