I remember a similar product here in the UK called the Philips Electronic
Engineer Kit. I had hours of fun with it in the early '70's. The only
transistors I remember were BC548's mounted on small PCBs which depressed
the spring contacts and were held in place when other components were added.

But now I try to remember which transistors they were, I not so sure about
the BC548 bit. Childhood memories can be very unreliable!

No, I don't think so. As I recall it had regular components that were
connected between spring loaded posts. I think it had a schematic sheet
that
you laid down on a board like pegboard, put the posts in and then added
the
components.
