I believe you are right about them being at Radio Shack.

I don't remember ever using one with sodering (too bad I didn't), but I
remember a couple of kits (maybe not Heath's) where you could wire up
different circuits and get it to do different things.  You made the
connections by putting the ends of the wires into spring-like coils rather
than making a permanent connection.  Mine two favorites curcuits were the
radio receiver and the morse code transmitter.

Sometimes I think having something like that to play with again would be
fun.  :)
