Ditto the comments from Evan Edwards, my experience almost identical. Please, won't you sell me your kit? I've been searching for so long.... Thank you! Excellent!

Thanks so much for posting this! I had this toy as a 7 year old back in the 1970's! I'm 46 now and I've been trying to figure out the name of it for years and years! I finally tried a Google image search with 'magnetic blocks with electronic components' and your image turned up. It was a wonderful toy and started me on a lifelong interest in electronics! To this day I think how great were my parents that they got me that toy! Seriously! The pictures you posted brought back a flood of fond memories, I remember each of those blocks well! Lectron! Decades of searching ended for me today! Thank you so much. Wow! Thanks so much for posting this! I had this toy as a 7 year old back in the 1970’s!

I had a "recent version", connecting components with wires. The name was "200-in-1" or something like this. I played hours, weeks, years with it, creating radiophone, alarms and various tests (almost 200 indeed!) it did not help with my physics classes! Maybe I would have learned better with the symbols-puzzle instead ;) ... Hehehe, what a cool discovery! I had a “recent version”, connecting components with wires.
