Cool Heathkit

[KentTeffeteller]

Hi,

I do know that tube era Heathkit Color TV sets were RCA CTC inspired if not clones thereof. Late era Heathkit Color TV sets were very Zenith. I put one together in 1976. Took me all summer to do. It was an assembly job for a physicist neighbor who worked for ORNL. He paid me $300 for the job, a lot of money for a 13 year old. He still uses it (now with a DTV converter box). He started assembling it then and didn't have the time to finish it. Very superb picture and engineering, these Heathkit sets were. His was in a French Provencial cabinet.
