Guest guest Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 I just got the scoop on this. Science Fair is now Elenco, which is still made by Tandy, but no longer marketed at Radio Shack. I found the 300-in-1 kit both online at Toys R Us and Target, with Target having the better price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Good find! At Dr. 's home in 2003 we saw her treasure trove of a few old Radio Shack kits. She still uses one to test at her desk at home every day. You can see this in the second picture at www.BestZapper.com/WhoIsDr.htm. Even with the correct kit and the Ultrasonic Human plans, you still have to build it and make a plate box with a good switch to make a functional unit. Then you have to calibrate it to get the best results, as each component in the kits has a 10% or 20% variation in value. For those with a desire to obtain a guaranteed, professional, precision calibrated syncrometer exactly like those we supply to Dr. 's Century Nutrition clinic in Tijuana, you can check it out at www.BestZapper.com/Sync-Rho-Meter.htm. Our units offer an exclusive foot-operated air switch to let you connect the test plate to the circuit without moving your test probe hand away from the finger. This foot switch is a huge advantage in testing, as moving your probe hand over to flip the test plate switch makes it hard to get right back to the exact same spot on the finger for the second probing, especially when you only have a second to do it! Blessings! Arthur 888-533-7007 www.BestZapper.com www.BestWithoutDrugs.com P.S. I just want to say thanks to all of you who contribute to this list. None of us knows it all, but is it beautiful to see what we can learn when we each share our piece of the puzzle, and our honest questions. And if you have been lurking, don't just lurk-join in!

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 It turns out that the 300-in-1 kit from Elenco does not have the Electrosonic Human project. I'm really disappointed and will send it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 No! Don't send it back. I have a 200 in 1 project kit manual in front of me. Myself and others here can help you figure it out. Have you sent it back yet? If your kit has a speaker, output transformer(900>8 ohm), transistor, 4.7k resistor, 0.1 uF capacitor and a 0.01 uF capacitor you can use your kit.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Hi Corey and everyone else reading this My name is Lori and I'm brand new to the list. I'm bound and determined to master the syncrometer, as Hulda suggests. Since she also suggests building my own, I would very much like to do that. Yes I have already returned the 300-in-1 kit, because Target on-line gave me the option to return it to my nearest Target store. I would really appreciate your help in building a syncrometer. So if it is easiest for you to help me with that by my re-ordering the 300-in-1 kit, I will. I have both the Syncrometer Lab Manual and the Syncrometer Basics DVD. So before you wrote (which is so wonderful), I was planning on taking the circuit diagram in the Lab Manual to Radio Shack and have them sell me the componentry and maybe point me to a wiring basics guide of some sort. I actually found a jpeg for wiring the Electrosonic Human. I will try to post it in the files section of this group. Thanks for sharing your positive energy!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 I recommend adding a 470 to 1000 ohm resistor in the circuit to protect the transistor in case the probe touches the copper pipe. This new resistor should go in the circuit on the way out to the test probe. Blessings! Arthur 888-533-7007 www.BestZapper.com www.BestWithoutDrugs.com Re: Radio Shack Kit for Syncrometer No!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Lori, You can certainly get the parts if you have the schematic. My only recommendation is not to go to Radio Shack but go to an actual electronics shop. If you live in Canada, B n E Industrial Electronics comes to mind. You can look up Industrial Electronics in the phone book. They will be so much more help for you in both getting the right parts and perhaps even building it for you or showing you how to build them together in a project box. One thing about buying the parts is you will need to know how to solder them together. Buying the 300-1 kit does not require soldering.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thank you Corey and Arthur for your suggestions! I researched soldering and got a bit overwhelmed. BUT, I also took the time to watch the DVD I bought from store.com entitled Syncrometer Basics: How to Use and Make the Syncrometer. It's a fabulous DVD and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to build their own syncrometer. And using the method of building the syncrometer demonstrated in the DVD, there is no need to buy a Radio Shack hobby kit, nor is there any need to learn how to solder. I live in Arizona, so I think I'll try Fry's Electronics for the componentry, but thank you Corey for the suggestion about B n E Industrial Electronics. And I will plan to incorporate the extra resistor; thank you Arthur! Lori > > Lori, > > You can certainly get the parts if you have the schematic.
