Zenith bought Heathkit to become "established" in the personal

non-computer part of Heath.

Sure, all they wanted was a place to sell lots of their monitor
assemblies and complete monitors, as well as tap into government
contracts. Have you ever opened one of their TEMPEST rated CGA or VGA
monitors?

Steven and Charlie Nudo are two peas in a very, very rotten pod.

Oh, pick on me now.

At least you didn't invent me.

It's an honor to be misconstrued by such as yourself. Really!

Legitimizes my entire life.

I doubt that anyone has ever accused you of being legitimate. :(

He's not. He's Charlie Nudo's ******* spawn...or is it the other way
around?

Wise up, guys. Unbuilt Heathkits are collector's items, far more
valuable than a built one.

Bill, W6WRT


Yep. Just keep watching this one:

My guess at the final bid: $707.63

Darn, I was a little short. Winning bid: $787.77. But I'm still not surprised by
that.

I built that meter back in the late 70s. Took forever to wire up the
main front panel switch. And then I had no way to really calibrate it,
not having any lab-standard equipment on hand. Oh well, it is an
un-built Heathkit... perhaps that is enough for some.

I seem to recall the cost was somewhere around $30 or $40, unbuilt.
