Philips EE2003 : Build a radio (time lapse video for the main build) - 70s Electronics kit. 

Lovely!!! So many happy memories with my EE 1003, a long time before this advanced EE 2003. Mine was organized by my real Dutch Uncle who used to be a director of Philips until 1976. I wish they would bring them back.....

Great video! over 40 years ago I had an EE1003 with the EE1005 superhet add-on. I have just obtained these model kits again, so I'll be re-living my experimenting days again! One comment on the am radio, It was found better to use insulated wire to fix the ferrite rod, otherwise bare wire acts as a shorted coil, and reduces the signal...

Haha, this takes me back. I wasn't born then but even in the mid-late 90s I had and loved a similar kit, The difference was the components were fixed in position and permanently attached to the springs and you'd just connect wires between springs. I'm sure you've seen kits like that. The other reason this takes me back is because the components (other than the mustard capacitors) are identical to those used inside my 1982 philips PM3217 oscilloscope, the difference being that they are on a PCB. No ICs in that scope except for a couple of transistor arrays it's all discrete transistors, thermally bonded matched JFET pairs in TO-18 metal cans and bipolar transistors in TO-92 plastic. Wonderful

Awesome, THANK YOU. I built that same radio when I was a kid!!! :D

Che meraviglia! Grande Philips! Grazie per il video

That,s a good kit. Phillips gear was always dependable. Nice that it has been looked after and still works..

Super leuk dit te zien, had ook de 2003 bouwdoos. Zelf lukte het me niet om de radio aan de praat te krijgen. Quite the sentimental journey, dank je voor de moeite!

Congrats! Your kit is in mint condition. I used to have an EE-20 (GE transistors) but all I have left of the original is the variable capacitor and some polyester and electrolytic capacitors. I managed to rebuild all 20 projects using a breadboard and new parts. A couple of years ago there used to be on RU-vid, a really old Phillips "Pioneer" kit, but it seems to have disappeared.

wow.. deze bouwdoos is echt wel nog in goede conditie :-) ik heb mijn EE2003 sinds 79 dacht ik.. maar ziet er niet meer zo goed uit :-). aaaahhh memories

ich hatte den EE1003 und 1005 - das war ca. 1970 - fantastisches System ! thumps up !

brilliant got a few of these kits .. great !

Hartstikke leuke video van hoge nostalgische waarde! Zelf ben ik begonnen met de EE 2050, met die bouwdoos kon je echter nog geen radio bouwen. Later kreeg ik op m'n verjaardag de dozen EE 2051 en EE 2052 (in één keer). Met die bouwdozen konden (in combinatie met de EE 2050) 4 radio-ontvangers gebouwd worden (2xMG, 1xKG (schema was fout!), 1xFM).

Hi Matt! Yes, i know those kits. The components all had a fixed place on the board and you connected them with wires, losing the overview after connecting 3 of them. And with every wire you connect two come loose from the fiddly springs. When it finally works you have no idea what it does :) The strong point of this kit is that you can still recognise the circuit once built. I've learned a lot from this kit. And yes, it's me. I have the same problem you have: kid not interested in technology.

I found this awesome nostalgic video because someone saw our product (LightUp) and said it reminded him of this kit. If anyone here is interested, we're developing an educational electronics kit that combines electronic building blocks with an augmented reality tutor app. We hope to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists!

Great kit! Could you tell me what camera and software you used for the time lapse?

Did you turn the kit to receive the signal better it will help you to do so.

👍 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 background sound perfect too!!!! 👍😆

Hi ! You must try this circuit build around the Philips EE system, but with Germanium transistors. I've compared it with the EE2003 radio and guess what, it is able to pick up moe stations. The transistors used are AF116 and AC126. I've uploaded 2 videos, one during daytime and one during nighttime. Greetings

I used to have something like this. All the components were connected onto small springs-if you bend the spring you get a cap to insert the wire. Search for "50 in 1 electronics lab" then I upgraded to the "200 in 1 electronics lab". I used to run the LED at 9 volts at all times (without limiting resistor) probably coz the 9v PP3 was always flat! Is that you or Aswhin reconstucting there? (ah just seen hair on the arms! lol) 08:40 I would have put 240VAC on it just to make everyone jump haha!

Here you can get all the great books which were shipped with this boxes. With that books you can learn a lot! ee.old.no/library/

Hi I've also a EE2003 but the books are in german. Do you have books in english ? Kind regards

Hallo ..... je hebt een grove fout gemaakt heb bij het in elkaar steken van de radio !!! Ik zag dat je de ferrietantenne bevestigde met 2 stukjes blanke montagedraad en de uiteinden dan samen twistte. Op deze manier maak je twee kortgesloten windingen om je ferrietstaaf en dat is niet bevorderlijk voor de ontvangst. Lees de gebruiksaanwijzing maar eens goed na, er wordt uitdrukkelijk vermeld dat je geïsoleerde draad moet gebruiken en dat je de isolatie niet mag verwijderen ! Om deze reden was er bij de oudere bouwdozen EE8 - EE20 enz. een touwtje om de ferrietstaaf te bevestigen.

Haha.. do I hear Radio 10 Gold on 675 AM?

I Have for 36 Yaers ago with Philips EE 2040 me one Step to Electronic DIY

He hallo, Ik merkte pas te laat dat je ook Nederlandstalig bent. Wel hier kan je zeker 's avonds een aantal zenders ontvangen met deze radio, en dat zonder antenne of aarding ! Je kan de videootjes zien op m'n RU-vid of hier is er eentje van 's avonds ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iFQp9p2OS88.html Als je de tijd vindt, probeer deze ontvanger ook eens !
