We bid on the IP (name, logo, etc.) but came in second and the lawyer won’t tell me who won it. All I know is that the winning bidder paid more than $10,101 for the Heathkit name. Since we have not heard a peep from anyone, I suspect that it was purchased by a broker, not a Heathkit aficionado, but I could be wrong. We were working with a former Heathkit VP to try to get the name, but I guess it was not meant to be.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>73,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Brian, W0DZ<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>DZKit<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> heath-bounces@puck.nether.net [mailto:heath-bounces@puck.nether.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Tom White<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, January 17, 2013 8:31 PM<br><b>To:</b> heath@puck.nether.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Heath] heathkit parts<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Any idea who acquired all of the Heathkit parts inventory?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Tom White<o:p></o:p></span></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Blackadder ITC"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";color:black'>"America will never be destroyed from the outside.
