Ha! Talk about 'savoring the anticipation'... Actually, the Heath TV was one of the simplest of kits. I built one. It was really a great disappointment. All the boards were pre-stuffed. Indeed, "service", if it was needed, was to pull a board and swap it with a new one at the Heath center. I never needed to do that.
Gave the working TV set to Goodwill about 15 years later. Heathkit and Elecraft could both use the old Timex slogan, "Takes a likin' and keeps on tickin'" Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vic K2VCO Sent: Friday, November 18, 2005 8:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] #3120 if FINALLY Alive and Well Michael Bower N4NMR wrote: > LAPSED TIME: > > Years - 2.88 > Days - 1052 > Hours - 25248 My friend, whose call will not be mentioned, has *two* unbuilt K2s. One of them has a serial number less than 500. He thought it might be hard to make it current on all modifications, so he bought a newer one -- that one is, I think, in the early 3000's. He hasn't built either of them yet, but every time I mention how much I like mine, he thinks about it. It's interesting, because he has built numerous complicated and difficult kits in his life, including the Heathkit TV set, which I believe to be one of the most elaborate kits they made. -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
