It looks like Heathkit manuals are no longer available for download on BAMA or any other sites. Copyright issues.

[LEE BAHR]

Let me ask this question.  If you now own the publishing rights of Heathkit 
manuals,  does this mean you now have liability risks surrounding shock 
hazzards of old designs contained in these manuals?  for example, we all 
know it is dangerous to fuse both legs of an unpolarized line plug such as 
is contained in a DX-100.  Does this mean I can sue this owner for 
negligence because his manuals have me do something unsafe in today's world? 
It's my understanding when you buy something, you take the bad with the 
good.  So, the new owner should maybe "upgrade" all his manuals to reflect 
present day safety standards.  If he doesn't, maybe he will be negligent and 
I have recourse if his circuits he is presently publishing is dangerous and 
one of my family members gets hurt because of this negligence.
