But is it any better and why spend $200 on a kit when you could
homebrew one, possibly cheaper, if you know what to do?

I think his spam is trying to target Heath collectors, of which there
are a few around, I've read. For utility's sake, though, almost any
DMM or even a good, used VTVM would be a far better deal.

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

I recall an unbuilt Heath AR-15 kit (WORST receiver I've ever owned in
my life, bar none) going for upwards of $500 a few years back. The
AR-15 was beleaguered with many problems, not the least of which was a
chronicly hot-running output stage due to inadequate heat sinks. The
MPX circuit was notoriously flaky on my example, as well, which traced
down to bad caps. Once debugged (and with a fan on its back end) it
was a pretty good FM tuner with an adequately beefy power amp. Sound
was....eh.

Many heathkits are worth more unbuilt than built.
