Longest selling magazine kit project?

[David L. Jones]

Just browsing through the latest Altronics catalog and noticed a kit
for the 1982 EA In-Circuit Transistor Tester.
I can remember building one of these from (I think) a Dick Smith kit
more than 20 years ago.
This kit has been going for almost 25 years now which I find quite
amazing.
Anyone know of any other kits that have been on sale for longer?

Late '70s.

My guess would be about '79 for Funway 1 & 2.

Funway 3 was much later - mid '80s?
