9 years old, eh?  Apparently savvy engineers show their talents early 
:-)  My grandmother bought one for me when I was 13, $10 or so I think, 
I built a crystal radio using it as the audio amp, and she was so 
impressed.  Grandma always told me I was a genius.  Mom, Dad, and Life 
... not so much.
