The Electrical Hobbyist's Club is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.
Contents
Background
This clubhouse is littered with electric junk, left behind by the tinkers that once met here.
Layout
The clubhouse is a small building. Both the interior and exterior of the structure contain high levels of radiation, with some areas reaching around 100 rads. Tripwires, a mine, and a turret litter the interior. In the cellar, which is free of radiation, there are several more traps, including one that activates an assaultron.[Non-game 1]
The main structure contains a chemistry station and an armor workbench, and a second armor workbench is in the cellar. One can also find three holotapes of answering machine recordings, in which a woman is leaving messages for a person named Coral. The woman, who states that she is not the child's mother, has been taking care of Coral's son while Coral apparently remained holed up in the hobbyist clubhouse. It becomes apparent that the hobbyist hermit has been neglecting both the child and the woman, who finishes her last message with an aside to the child, "sure thing, kiddo. I'm hungry too, and there's nothing for us here."
Notable loot
- Missile launcher - Can be taken from a trap to the left as one enters the cellar. The tripwire connected to the launcher is near the bottom of the stairs.
- Hobby club messages - Three holotapes found in the cellar, next to a terminal.
Project S.N.O.W. system restore - Ejected from the terminal in the cellar during Neon Winter.
Related quests

A wealth of electrical junk rests inside this location, where tinkerers once met. The front door to this establishment is locked (Master), but the side entrance is heavily trapped. Both lead to a cellar, which is also heavily trapped. Listen to Hobbyist Holotapes and play with an Assaultron down here, if you’re so inclined"
