Good quality components and totally worth it for beginners, no sense penny pinching and going through the ordeal of sourcing all of these as a first timer. Edit: After getting half way through the book experiments and using the kit more, I stand by my original review, this kit is outstanding for a newbie starting out. But there are some flaws, I will describe 2 of them here: 1. One of the early experiments in the classic "make a battery with a lemon" experiment, and it requires a copper electrode and a galvanized steel electrode. These can be acquired as coated screws in most hardware stores, but they are not included in the kit. No mention is made of this anywhere so I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure this out. 2. One of the experiments requires a 10(uf) ceramic capacitor. This is not included, there is only a 10(uf) electrolytic capacitor. This may seem dumb, but for electrolytics unlike ceramics have polarity, so which way do you fit them in? This is not covered because the book uses ceramics where it doesn't matter. If you have a couple of these in your circuit and you are a newbie, it will take a while to figure out. It strikes me that some compromises were made without explaining them to the user. Overall its a great kit, I went ahead and bought the next one as well (Make: More Electronics) so this is not a deal breaker. But it would be great if these compromises could be explained on the product page so I can acquire all I need at once. I am further shipping all this stuff home to South America so doing the shopping piecemeal as I discover what parts are missing is expensive and slow. Customer service is OUTSTANDING. Just make clear whats not in the pack guys. ## Frequently Bought Together - Make: Electronics Third Edition Kit 1 Deluxe - Beginner, Intermediate, & Advanced (Teen - Adult) Component Pack That Follows The Experiments in Make: Electronics 3rd Ed by Charles Platt - Make: Electronics: Learning by Discovery: A hands-on primer for the new electronics enthusiast - Encyclopedia of Electronic Components Volume 3: Sensors for Location, Presence, Proximity, Orientation, Oscillation, Force, Load, Human Input, Liquid ...
