HeathKit Calculator

[M. Monninger]

Anyone remember the HeathKit calculator kit? It was a four function, LED
readout kit based (I think) on a Bomar design, sold about 1973 or
thereabouts for $99.95 if I remember correctly.

Anyway, I have one that I bought and assembled in 1973. It was my first
calculator and I used it at school and at work (replacing my Pickett slide
rule :-). It's a bit dusty and there's a chip out of the red lens in front
of the LED's on the right end. I think it would clean up like new. The use
instructions sticker on the back is still good. I also have the charger
(actually just a transformer). The nicads inside are probably long dead but
I'd guess it would work if they were replaced. I believe I still have the
vinyl (imitation leather) carrying case somewhere too, if I can find it. No
manual, tho. It's a model IC-2009.

So, anyone intersted in this little goodie? I have no idea what it's worth.
Not as exciting as an unbuilt SB-100 or the unbuilt color TV kit that
someone offered last week (I was sorely tempted) but might be of interest
to some of you Heath freaks. If so, lemme know...
