As soldering irons are very hot, I can imagine some constructors received their first branding by soldering iron by constructing some kits. The book itself takes a whole chapter devoted to placing components, preparing them to be soldered, soldering and troubleshooting (identification of cold joints). The main difference with Funway 2 is that the projects now involve single sided non-silkscreened PCBs and thus require soldering. As a result, new beginners can begin with Funway 2 if they want to leap straight into it. This book was developed as a follow-up to the Funway 1 series, but it has all the information required within this book so reference to the prior series is not necessary. Its ISBN is 0 9595080 1 5.Īgain, the tri-tone character of the cover can be seen, maybe aiming for some sex appeal this time around. This book was published and copyrighted in 1980, possibly a first printing by Altarama Kralco Pty Ltd in Flemington, NSW. This book itself was written by Dick Smith, with no obvious attributions for illustrations. The teal green was my favourite colour, although the book I owned was a much later print, featuring a very sedate image of a child and his parent helping him with the soldering (if memory serves me right). The Funway 2 series of projects was one I was much more familiar with myself, having built numerous projects as part of a school course as well as on my own.

Continuing on from the previous part, possible due to the generosity of an OCAU member, lets continue our nostalgic trip down memory lane by looking at Dick Smith’s Fun Way into Electronics Volume 2 and 3.
