Radio Shack Realistic Kits

|||||||||||||
Most RF Cafe visitors are familiar with Heathkit, and maybe even Allied Radio's Knight-Kits and Lafayette Radio for build-it-yourself (BIY) types, but how many knew that Radio Shack's Realistic line of electronic products also included kits? I remember seeing small kits in a plastic bag hanging on the pegboard displays, but nothing as sophisticated as an oscillator, a vacuum tube tester, a stereo FM receiver, or an audio amplifier, as shown here in a 1961 issue of Radio-Electronics magazine. The $149.95 FM Stereo Multiplex Tuner Kit would cost $1,580 in 2024 money - yow! For that much dough these days you can get a 75-inch UHD TV and high quality stereo system. A look through the 1961 Radio Shack catalog shows many factory-built and tested stereo receivers which appear to be at least as good as this kit, for as little as $100. The same thing was true with Heathkit equipment which typically cost as much or more than the BIY product. Radio Shack Realistic Kits Ad
