Haynes Build Your Own Retro Radio Advent Calendar Hardcover – Advent Calendar, 17 Oct. 2016

Nice change to a chocolate advent calendar however day 18 was missing however I still managed to get it to work. Would recommend

Honestly this is such a cool idea! I'm 23 and work in IT and this is going to be much better than my usual chocolate.

Great advent calendar when you want something a bit different. Bought for my husband who has worked with electronics for years but this retro radio has taken him back to his boyhood. He says that the components are of better quality than he expected. Can see us dismantling it after Christmas and passing it on to a much younger generation so that they can learn about the basics of electrical engineering.

I was going for a alternative calendar this year. However it is not worth the money. It says in the description it takes 2 AA batteries which are not included. However as you can see, it actually needs a 9v battery! Then on day 2 i opened the door to a red long wire. The instruction book spoils things by saying what's in each door. However door 2 was supposed to be a battery clip. Without that you can't carry on. I luckily thought to check but had to open all the doors and found the part in door 5! The science experiments and education is very good and I hope that it is a complete build. Not worth £20 and not clear on what is is.

Bought for my partner, he loves this advent calendar. It’s a nIce project to do in the run up to Xmas and especially in 2020!

bought as a gift, something different for a non chocolate lover....

My husband was over the moon with this as an alternative idea for an advent calendar. All was going well until day 18 when we opened the completely sealed door to find it empty! According to the booklet it should have been a disc capacitor but alas nothing!No way to contact the company and to late to send back by then.A nice idea but left disappointed on this occasion.

Excellent product and easy to follow instructions with daily experiments. Bought for both my dad and boyfriend and they both love it.
