<VV> HEATHKIT

[litetrix at aol.com]

I still have a Heathkit PC computer I built with dual 5 1/4 floppy drives. I built a multifunction card by buying the pc board and as a purchasing agent for an electronic firm, sampled all the parts needed to complete it. Funny, when I bought a 5 meg hard drive for it, my boss laughed and asked why I needed a drive that big.
Thanks. Now I really feel old.

Subject: Re: <VV> HEATHKIT slightly explained

Heathkit was a wonderful company. I built many over the years. Many  of my 
Christmas gifts over the years were kits for test equipment , stereo   stuff 
, and amateur radio receivers  for assembly and fun uses. I think I  still 
have a motor analyzer . I built a few scopes also.  As things went on  , I 
worked most of my life in electronics , then on to partnership in a busy  
auto repair operation , which now days requires a lot of electronics , and  
electrical knowledge. Heath also made a few neat accessories for  cars and  
boats.
There is still a lot of Heathkit stuff showing up at Ham radio shows.
