Is there any interest in this newsgroup in Heathkits that are NOT
amateur radio products?

I have some that I no longer want:

AR-15 Stereo Receiver
QM-1 Q Meter
CD-1 Color Bar and Dot Generator
IT-12 Signal Tracer
V-7A VTVM

All are clean, include manuals, and were working when last used.

Since this isn't primarily a buy and sell newsgroup, I doubt there'd be
any interest here.

Since you are trying to sell, there are way better venues, not just in
terms of appropriate, but also readership.

The one item in your list that no longer has any use!

I've got one of those, but not Heathkit, and PAL not NTSC

Closed Circuit TV is still mostly analog.

But the monitors these days are LCD and not CRT.

The days of static convergence, dynamic convergence, pin cushion, etc
are gone.

The new ones likely are but the vast, already installed, base is not.

Essentially irrelevant; when checking out such a system about the only
thing that matters is a known, stable video of something.

Apparently you have never worked on a CCTV system; a known, stable, and
portable source of video is a handy thing to have when troubleshooting.

That's changing. We install much more digital (IP-based) systems than
analog, nowadays, including updating old analog systems.

Analog is still out there - but as the price of digital cameras comes
down, analog is fading.

Yes, new systems are predominantly digital, however there is a HUGE
installed base of analog no one is going to replace just because, though
some are replacing the recording/viewing portion with digitizers.

If you have to dig up and replace miles of cable to have digital cameras,
the cameras are likely to stay analog for a long time.

That's where you're wrong. Probably 1/3 of our installs is replacing
old analog systems with digital. The higher quality of a digital
picture is the main selling point, although the digital recording also
helps.

And BTW - we do it over the existing coax. No "miles of cable" are
replaced.

I'd be interested in the signal tracer, I keep meaning to build one
myself and never have.

Now I am cluttering up the group with a personal reply. That's kind of
rude, isn't it?
