Space battle noisemaker

The Snap Circuits Space Battle kit makes a variety of charming, antiquated space-noises -- and looks like it was designed in the mid-Seventies. Looks like the past, sounds like the past's future. Ideal in many respects. (Warning: order anything from Maplin, the retailer below, and be prepared to receive mailbox-choking, enormous catalogs at an alarming rate) Link (via Red Ferret)
