m... For a company that was built on, very often, selling poorly-designed crap to people they have their nerve. This will make the photocopied manual industry explode with attendant price increases. Sadly it will diminish the value of the decent pieces of equipment they manufactured many years in the past when they were not so mean-spirited and greedy. I must say a leopard doesn't change its spots. Last time I was in Home Depot I saw the Heath line of garage door openers and home products and it all appeared to be low-end Chinese made versions of the items made by quality companies. I also was amused at some kit company advertising in qst magazine this month. It's advertisement is a near identical copy of the one Heath use to run in the 1960s with its , David Nurse, sitting in the same pose and using the exact phraseology used then. Is no one original anymore? Hopefully that is where the similarities of that modern day Heath-wannabe company end. Well... My SB102 was a poor man's KWM-2. Several pieces were Spartan but useful. A real good learning experience in building and troubleshooting. Most of the stuff is too old to be of any serious use except the HF amps. Nice crackle finish. Best remembered in photos now. I wonder what people will think of "Vintage MFJ" I found this: http://www.vintage-radio.info/heathkit/ |
