Heathkit is Back

[Mr. Lin]

Plenty of small kit vendors out there now (Ramsey, Velleman for a couple). Was in Radio Shack yesterday and saw they now are selling the Parallax line of modules for whipping up all sorts of little electronic doo-dads of the programming/controller type.

Our local Radioshack now carries the Velleman kits, which I was really surprised to see. I built one of their 2 watt solid state amps once - it was like $5 - and it actually sounded pretty good.

I'll bet that thermal printer was a lot quieter than the ASR-33 Teletype I was using back in the 1970s.

HAH!!! Me too!!

And I still have my RUNNING GC-1000 clock! :thmbsp:

Good times.... I miss building kits.

They need one that monitors for pee...

That's what the pH monitor would do.

Too much pee and the pH would go down.

What's ORP?

Wonder if an alarm goes off with a loud voice announcing: SOMEBODY PEED IN THE POOL!, SOMEBODY PEED IN THE POOL!

Great news, I also hope that they get back into the audio line, eventually they may even supply parts for some of the older gear.
