Title: Remember Heath Kit?
Post by: Solar on May 12, 2025, 11:56:52 AM
I bought the ham radio kit, never finished it because my paper route took up all my free time, so I traded it off for something useless, I'm sure.
This is a fascinating look at their history.
On a side note, I almost bought an A-1 Jeep from the Oakland Naval base when they were selling them two to an order for under two hundred bucks. Wish I had. :unsure:

I have to sell off some such stuff. Long ago I found  a micro processor study kit in a  closet at work and took it.I traveled for work and it was the only way for me to learn. It was good.
