Marty, you do realize that this IS the original Heathkit company?  Not
a startup:

"he Heathkit company still exists as Heathkit Educational Systems and
is now located in Saint Joseph, Michigan, and now concentrates on the
Educational Systems side of the business.

In August of 2011 Heathkit announced on its website that it would be
re-entering the kit business with a line of DIY kits for household
items.[10]"

Anyway you look at it, its great news if you ask me!

Its not clear to me yet what kind of radio offerings they will have
but I assume given their legacy and well-known brand across the ham
community, they will offer something!  :-)
