[Heathkit] Nostalgic Kits Central website notice

[Ken Kaplan]

Hi,

  This is just an fyi to let those who may not know about the website I maintain that presents 
information on Kits. It covers Heathkit, Allied Knight Kits, Eico, EMC, Precise, Paco, Dynaco, 
Stancor and Conar.

  My goals are to document by picture, specifications, service bulletins, mods and clean 
schematics all of the kits offered by these companies. I am also going to try to document as 
much of the history of these two companies as I can. Why? Fifteen reasons of which a 
random four follow:

1. To help fellow hobbyists understand what may be available in the used market to 
enhance their enjoyment of their hobbies.
2. Bring a tear to your eye as you remember that kit you built and still wish you had <g>.
3. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been done.
4. I'm crazy.

  I have recently added a master parts list for Heath and Eico. It's a work in progress. I hope 
some find the info valuable. Also, check out the General Info section. Among ten entries, it 
has a Tube Interchangability Reference, a rather complete list of modern kits sources and a 
list of parts suppliers.

 If you have a business that sells something applicable to keeping these old kits working, let 
me know and I'll be happy to list you in the appropriate sections.

  I would appreciate hearing comments both good and bad. If you have any material
that you would like to contribute to the site, I'd be happy to include it & give you credit. I have 
nothing for sale and I have no plans to include actual manuals. It's all just free information.

The site address is:

Hope you find it useful,
