I saw one on eBay several years ago. It wend big $$$, naturally. It was complete but missing the CRT. I agree 100% that any unbuilt Heathkit TV should remain unbuilt. There was an unbuilt prewar Andrea kit in it's original metal display box that showed up several years ago too... Went to a true collector Back East, who I am sure is keeping it unbuilt.

I also sold an unbuilt (and sadly, incomplete) Heathkit solid state color set on eBay. A friend had bought it from a friend of his, and each time it passed hands, a few things didn't go with it
