[Heath] Heathkit computers

[Brian Wood]

I am interested in audio and WISH the Heathkit of old was around to make new
preamps, processors, AVRs, monoblock and stereo amps, speakers, etc. I'd
love to have something like a McIntosh that I could build myself. Still use
the AR-1302 stereo that I built in '73.

 

It's still my dream to get done with the ham transceiver kit we are working
on (see www.dzkit.com) and some follow-on ham projects to have time for some
cool audio kits. I tried to convince the president of Parasound to let us
turn their stuff into kits, but didn't get very far.

 

Sigh.

Knowing the location would definitely help, since these systems are very
heavy and fragile, local pickup would be much safer than shipping. I've
received H89s, where the CRT mounts broke, and the monitor was loose in the
case. The earliest H89 CRT mounts are horrible. Heath later enhanced the CRT
mounts, I'm guessing since they had very high failure rates even back in the
80s. Now that the material is going on 40 years old, I'm sure they are even
more fragile.

 

Eric, and anyone else interested in old 8-bit heathkit computers, you should
check out the SEBHC(Society of Eight-Bit Heathkit Computerists) mail list. I
didn't come up with the name, but I am the current owner/moderator of the
list. You can see all past posts here:

interested in feel free to send a request to join, or even just follow the
publicly available archive.
