I loved the old Heath kit. I can't count the number of their units I built over the years. TVs, all kinds of test equipment, stereos, ( HiFi ) and fun gadgets.
Heath and Eico were the two big names in kit building then.

Bob, Heathkit has been revived, and they're offering a number of products. https://shop.heathkit.com/page/homepage

Never a need to take an "age survey" of the members. Just seeing who responds to postings like this one serves the purpose!

Thanks, Jay,
I just took a quick look at the site. Of course, not a huge offering in some categories but some real nice Retro items. I'll have to go back and do some exploring.

again!
