Heathkit. Am I the only one who used to build this stuff?
Just wandering around the internet and found some interesting things from the old Heathkit company. They are the ones who made electronic kits in the 50's until closing down in the mid 1980's.
They were an electronics nut dream, making almost anything you wanted if it had sparks flying around inside. I built a short wave radio, several test rigs and ended up building a 21 inch color television. Amazingly all of them worked!
Take a stroll down memory lane and remember the days when we had vacuum tubes and no internet...
