Heath Catalogs

[Jack Crenshaw]

Speaking of catalogs:  Does anyone have a list of which kits came out
when?  I'm often asked, say, when did the WA-P2 come out.  If no one has
such a list, perhaps we should make one while there's still someone
around who can remember this stuff.

I would think the catalog announcements would be the way to create the list.
