question based on a dim memory and some updates

[Michael Chisena]

 Ian,
Those Lectron bricks were one of my first introductions to electronics.
Have fond memories of 'playing' with them and making stuff.

Like Meatloaf once sang. "Long ago and far away, and it's so much better than it was today"

Be well there.
Mike

 The one I recall from my youth was called Lectron. But it was not much more than individual components in 1 inch cube blocks which magnetically held themselves together.
I think maybe your ideas are more advanced, with op-amps, oscillators, and maybe full counter/divider functions inside a block?

Hi all,
The question.

In the old, and Im talking 60's or 70's ham magazines there was a vendor that sold little modules that could be hooked up to product various items.
Individually not too complex but string enough of them together and you can make basic projects out of them.

Any idea of what they are called? Product names, vendors, data along that line.
Schematics of the various modules?

Given all the neat modules on places like Amazon, was wondering if this could be a product again.

One of my x bosses made a converter module that took an ordinary vehicle AM/FM and turned it into a multi mode AM stereo receiver with pilot detection.

Been working on some projects.

This is my second batch of Type 538 camera batteries as a work in progress.

Been playing with an idea of making a power bank for a laptop I have here. 
It would use hot swapable power tool batteries.
So far the prototype has been kinda neat.

Share a thought as time permits.
Thanks in advance.
Mike
