[Heathkit] unbuilt kits

[Kim Herron]

Hi Guys,

      I know this fellow.  I'm sure that some of you have seen his around 
the midwest hamfests.
His hat says "worlds largest Heathkit collector".  I can't remember his 
name, but he owns
Jerry's CB in Toledo.  He's had this stuff for years in a warehouse, in no 
particular order and has
been saying that " I'm going to sort this stuff so I can sell it" for the 
12 to 15 years that I've known him.
I've wanted to get there several times over the years to get parts, which 
he says that he has, but he won't let
anybody come and look because the stuff is still on the pallets, still 
shrink-wrapped, that it came from Heath on.
He got this stuff when Heath closed all their stores and salvaged out all 
the stuff in the stores.  He got the contents
of the Detroit store on Eight Mile road, the Toledo Store and the Cleveland 
store, so he says.  There is another
fellow in Benton Harbor that did the same thing.  He's got a giant pile of 
parts that he's sitting on, doesn't have
cataloged and won't take any calls on or let any body look at.  No kits 
though.  I had a fellow here in Grand
Rapids that bought all their vacuum tubes and a giant pile of parts, all on 
skids that had 4 foot square cardboard
boxes that all the stuff was tossed in at Heath.  He never sorted it out 
and cataloged it either.  I think that most
of his stuff went to the dump when he went out of business.

Thanks!!
