Prior to moving to California in 1975, I was employed by Heathkit in Benton Harbor, Michigan as a Design Engineer. While I was working toward my "EE" degree, I also worked there as a service technician in the service department. I have worked on a lot of Heathkits during that time and since. It was exciting working for the largest electronics "kit" company in world.
Today, as a hobby, I am still very much involved with Heathkits although the "kit" company no longer exists. I have several manuals, parts, and kits that I have collected from the company auctions, the old "surplus" outlet, as well as recent collections and trades. I currently also repair Heathkit's in my spare time. If you would like to have a unit repaired, please contact me for details.
Please use the information in the following pages if you are restoring or repairing a Heathkit. If you need any help, parts, or just want to comment, please send me an email.
We have tried to offer some New items intended to breathe new life into some of those old kits. Take a look at what we have. I also welcome any ideas for new items.
Please also take a look at the items that I have posted on eBay.
Thanks.....
