Very easy to assemble, easy to follow instructions. But what you get is a paperweight. Doesn't work. You only get a red led light. Stay away!

This product is a great kit for beginners as there are no small pieces that need a microscope to solder. the instructions are very clear and helpful (tells what side is pos/neg etc.) which a lot of kits Ive built did not have. Worked when I put it all together and am very pleased with it. I will say that you will need a power cord as one is not provided, and you'll want the full power it can handle otherwise it's not very loud if using the music option.

This was missing components, and was packaged horribly. It looks like someone dumped items from a junk drawer into a ziploc back and sent it. It was extremely late on arrival also. Instructions that came with it are not legiable. Luckly the photos on the item page will suffice.

Built in about 10 minutes. I am an electric engineer, but this was great fun to build. It had no trouble lighting up a fluorescent bulb, black light tube, various neon bulbs. That's probably the coolest thing this can do. The brightness peaked at ~20 volts on my dc bench supply. While this is definitely for beginners, it does require knowledge to get it working and it's a fun project for all skill levels because it's $10. The music feature was pretty useless although it does work to demonstrate amplitude modulation, you can hear it clearly. The spark it emits is tiny but definitely visible. Again, coolest thing it does is light up bulbs.Some tips:- You need a DC bench supply with DC plug, or maybe two 9 volt batteries in series soldered to a switch and then to the board. Without a bench supply you'll need to get creative.- Use a lighter to burn the ends of the copper coil. But do not do so with the top of the lighter flame or the wire will melt. Run the wire close to where the fire is emitting from the lighter and run it 1-2 times through until it stops smoking.
