Final part:

An Estes model rocket kit

A Heathkit signal generator, power supply and experimenting breadboard that is from 49 years ago.

The unit was an actual build it yourself kit that in the end became a STEM tool to enhanced the users knowledge base.

My brother like, these kits bought them 50 years ago. The big one for him was the oscilloscope. I remember him building it in his bed room, while in high school. Later after we finished college, in the rooming house we rented rooms in the tenants thought he was building his girl friend as a joke. Actually he was building a computer, sort of like gates and others at the time. No software just blinking lights.

I'm curious, what's a breadboard?

Whatever it is, that whole thing looks really interesting.

The breadboard allows you to mount and connect electronic components with single strand wires.

Recently they have been a very useful part of Arduino projects.

I do not buy anything, my wife does, cannot walk and stand long enough to go shopping. Need a new blood pressure gauge. possible air leak. She went out to purchase new one. I guess that counts.

Ford took production parts out of the stock bins just to take Lemans and other European endurance races from dominating Enzo Ferrari.
Legendary builder/racer Carrol Shelby and Holman-Moody helped make that happen.

 

[Nitro]

This one has a picatinny rail mount on it and a remote switch to operate it.

 

[Nitro]

Induction heater board and coil kit.
Have been wanting to play with one of these and this one became available at I price I couldn't resist.

In a nutshell, it converts 12 volts DC to extreme heat thru inductance without damaging things near it like a torch would.

The vehicle repair industry is just starting to get onboard with this method.

What is that heat used for?

The local Kroger where I buy groceries sells Hot Wheels for $1 each. There's a huge cardboard box of them, all kinds of them, near the checkout line. I usually buy a couple of them because they entertain kids, and I often need a little gift for someone else's little boy.

Typically for removing bolts that are frozen with rust.

My still in the package collection were all selectively chosen to represent my interests in American musclecars.

Over the years, I was able to find a representation of each of the dozen of them I owned over the years with the exception of my 1972 Pontiac GTO ragtop.

The most amazing find of them all was scoring a 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Formula S notchback bodied ride.
In 1968, Plymouth only produced 1803 1968 Formula S rides, most being the fastback versions.

From what I understand, my car was one of 243 notchbacks ever produced, so it was ultra rare.

There are some in the collection that were what we call unicorn cars that eluded me, one being a 1969 Pontiac TransAm.

The last run had me buy a 5 pack just to get the three that I wanted.

They will be removed from the package to become a part of a static display that will utilize wooden train tracks/car road sections to bring them to life.

The plan is to set up a diorama inside of a glass topped coffee table
