NO INSTRUCTIONS!!!!

nice kit but as others have said there are no instructions provided

Hi T.C., thank you very much for your purchase and for taking the time to leave your review, we really appreciate it. You likely havd already built your kit, but just for future reference there are detailed instructions available to download from the product page for this kit. Indeed, the majority of the kits we sell have instructions available on the product page, along with links to a useful blog post and video with tips on how to assemble electronics kits. We also have a Technical Support team who are available to help if you run into any difficulties, just email questions to info@thesciencehut.com

FM radio

Nice little kit. I'd wanted to build an FM radio using some of the all-in-one chips available, and this ticked all the boxes.

Took my time assembling - soldering some of the SMD components requires a very fine bit and a steady hand - but it was easier than it looked. Pleased to find everything worked first time and I got Mahler's 1st as soon as I tuned it to the local classical station.

Sound quality is not great, but the kit only has a 1 inch speaker, so not unexpected. Some components had to be moved slightly to fit into the case, especially the vertically mounted capacitors, which should have been almost flush to the board.

Only criticism was that the kit arrived without instructions. However I emailed customer service who immediately sent me a PDF (in English) with very full directions and colour diagrams.

I enjoyed building this and will probably buy other kits from your range.

Hi Andrew, many thanks for taking the time to leave this detailed review of your product. We're very pleased you had a successful build and were happy with the resulting product. As always, if you ever have any questions about a product or need help with and technical aspects, our customer support and technical teams are always delighted to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions relating to any other products you might be considering.

NO INSTRUCTIONS!!!

Please send me assembly instructions. At this point I cannot enjoy this product because it did not come with assembly instructions.
Help!!!

Hi Michael, thank you for your purchase. Detailed English instructions have been emailed onto you, I trust this will meet with your expectations. Please note that we provide detailed instructions for the majority of the kits we sell which can be downloaded from the product page for each kit. Furthermore, we have a Customer Services team that can support any inquiries (answers in less than 24 hours, typically much sooner) and a Technical Support team on standby to offer answers to questions and/or to support you should you encounter any challenges with your products.

Bit of a scam.

Just a bunch of cheap Chinese components with no instructions whatsoever. I was expecting an educational electronics kit perhaps useful for a child with an interest in STEM. Junk don’t waste your money.

Hello PMAC, thanks for taking the time to leave a review, and sorry to hear you were not satisfied with the product. The product page clearly calls out what is included in the kit and states that the kit is for 'intermediate level enthusiasts'. Someone at intermediate level would know that the locations for installing all components is clearly marked on the PCB and they only need to install the relevant components to the positions marked on the board. However, for people who need a bit more detail, the product page also has a link to download very detailed instructions which provide learning benefits and stepwise instructions for building the kit (I'd encourage you to check these out if you haven't already built the kit). We also have links to other educational resources on the product page, including a free blog covering everything that one needs to know to get started building and learning about electronics, and a video that provides further relevant information. The overwhelming majority of ratings for this product have been 4 or 5 stars, which indicates that the product meets expectations of the vast majority of people. What is included is fairly standard for kits of this nature.
