Re: Electrical Component Kit

All I can say is get a very, very wide variety of resistors. I do the same sort of thing, and I am always using resistors, and some of the time, I need a specific resistance, and its very handy to have the right one lying around.
Oh, and spare wire. It's your friend. I also keep other things in there, such as hex inverters, shift registers, and 5v regulators (even a servo or two if I am working with that sort of thing) but definitely resistors.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
