I am selling a Heath GR-2001 25" Color Television kit that is 91% unbuilt. I
am also including an on-screen clock option that is 100% unbuilt. In it's
time (circa.'78-'82) this was among the most advanced TV sets available
anywhere. It has about 40 integrated circuits and 60 transistors, and
presents a formidable challenge for most kit builders.
Three of the 19 circuit cards have been assembled and a fourth card has been
partially assembled. I call it "91% unassembled" because only 17 the 175
pages of assembly instructions cover the cards which were assembled, but
quality above average. I inventoried the kit (using photocopies of the parts
lists) and checked off every component (except those in sealed envelopes) to
assure it was a complete kit. Missing is P/N 85-1770-1, the printed circuit
card on which the keyboard switches are mounted. I am in the process of
etching a suitable replacement card, but I will not attempt to counterfeit
Heath's card.
More info: I have more written information on the kit, it's terms of sale, and
methods of contacting me by phone. I will e-mail it to those requesting it.
I will also send photo attachments of the boxed kit and an advertisement
scanned from an old Heath catalog.
Terms- I will sell the TV and on screen clock option to the best offer (over
$1,000) received by 14:00 Mountain Daylight time on Thursday, September 2nd.
The last unbuilt Heath I sold was the simple (but 100% complete) IO-4560
oscilloscope which sold on ebay for $1,420, so I think $1,000 is a reasonable
starting point for this TV. If I don't get any offers by the deadline, I'll
list it on ebay. Buyer will pay all shipping costs (140 lbs from zip 87108.)
Most credit cards may be accepted.
Tim
