[Heathkit] Heathkit question

[peter markavage]

I seem to remember Heath sales people set up at a booth(inside) at Dayton
(90, 91 ??) and were dumping their sealed boxed  kits at very attractive
prices. Also, there were parking lot sales at Heath (by the pallet) to
dump the majority of their parts, manuals, and maybe their finished kits.

Quote Rich - darn shame that a piece of your youth is now long gone
forever.

Yep, happens to all of us but ya have the memory. Still remember the name
of the first girl I ever went on a data with.
