This is a really fun kit, very satisfying when you get it working right. Back in my previous life as an electronics instructor, where my students assembled, tested, and troubleshot these kits, I graded them on the basis of how many stations they could receive. (Also with modifiers for items such as work ethic, workmanship, applied knowledge). Sounds like, under my system, you would rate a grade of "A".
Hi Drew!

Geez, only an A?  I had to find the bad 2N3904s and replace them too!

That was not exactly trivial.

Once up to snuff, I'll use sand paper to take the points off the solder 
points so she won't poke herself and get blood.  That would upset her no 
end.  She is a real girlie girl!  No Tom Boy in her!

Oh well, I guess you were tight on grades.  So was I when I taught 
Computer Science classes in College.

So guess I shouldn't complain.
