In my youth these were a way of getting on the air for less by making your own gear.
They were famous for their step-be-step assembly instructions. These days it is less expensive to buy Japanese or Chinese made gear either new or second hand.
I thought Heathkit had died, then I saw a website which had a few products. Compared with Heathkits of old, these were very limited and very expensive. I thought this "rebirth" was doomed to failure. It would appear it still exists, much to my surprise.
Unless they increase their range and drop their prices I just can't see them surviving for long. They must have a very loyal group of supporters.
