Gikfun Electronic Game Machine Soldering Projects Soldering Practice Kit with 4 Retro Classic Games for School Learning Project EK1987U

The media could not be loaded. This was a great little project to do with my 11 year old son.He got to learn how to solder and now has a fun little game to play, not to mention the satisfaction of having built it himself.The kit itself was solid, delivered in a small cardboard box with the components in an antistatic bag.The instructions are obviously translated from Chinese and they cover the bare minimum so there's room for improvement there.The components were all received in good condition with all the pins straight and no faulty parts.It would be nice if they included a cheap little wrench to fit the tiny nuts that are used to secure the PCB to the case and hold the whole case together. Using a pliers on them was quite fiddly. The screws also didn't appear to be a standard size, none of my screwdrivers fit them quite right.All in all, for the couple of hours of bonding time, the chance to teach my son something new, and the end result game that is now a little bit special to him, this was great value and worth money as well as the 5 stars.

The welding guide does not include any information on fitting the on of switch or the transistor.The digital download version also does not have any of this corrected. You also can’t pinch and in large which makes it difficult for reading on a smart phone.

Bought this as a christmas gift for someone and they loved it, had lots of fun putting it together and they think the games are great. Can be a great activity to do with your kids or alone if you like challenges and games.

This little kit looks the business but is let down by the fact its missing the bottom part of the perspex casing which is a big letdown and also the power button is tempermental at best and non operational at worst. It switches on and off if slighty touched during play if and when it does switch on at all. Seems like a faulty switch tho as all other components work well. Loses a star for each of these issues. I can and did still get practise building the kit so im happy enough but its a real shame about the switch and the missing part as it would be a nifty little item to play with otherwise.

One issue, the instructions skip a couple of the components that need to be soldered into the board but you end up with them leftover at the end and it’s obvious where they go and which way round.Got this for some daddy daughter time and my 9 yr old has learned to solder and some basic electronics while having loads of fun together.This is now literally her favourite thing in the world and my six year old wants one.

Very disappointed in this item, followed instructions to the poor Chinese / English letter. The score segments don’t do anything , the main display has different brightness on columns , but in no way usable as a 4 game unit. Shame as nice size and the clear case is solid. Unfortunately have to return for refund.

Easy to work out, worked first time, good fun to do.
