[Heathkit] unbuilt kit values

[Kim Herron]

We've seen the same kind of thing here.  The antenna thing has been a real
boon to a bunch of people. People spending hundred of dollars here to
replace an antenna that should work just fine.  I've a friend that is a
chief engineer for one of the TV stations and he's buys into every one of
these things that comes along.  I think that he told he his station spent
almost a third or a million bucks preparing for the millennium changeover
scare (remember that?)that never happened.

Ron....

Not necessarily true.....

With the use of a digital to analog converter you can use ANY TV even when
the conversion takes place.  All you will need is either channel 3 or 4
analog capabilites or a analog A/V input.

The big scare on digital conversion is WAY overblown.  No more different
than subscribing to cable where you have to have a cable box, samo-samo.

Even my antique Philco, 10"round CRT (circa 1954) set works fine on new
digital stations with use of the box. (missing a few colors, hi)

Not sure if this is a Zenith or not, it is a GR-271, with GRA504-21 and
GRA227 remote control kit.
