The only HERO1 you could get for $150 would have to have severe brain
damage, no batteries and a host of other problems. You cannot even get a
HERO Jr for that low unless it is a basket case. If you want a working unit
you probably are looking more at about $600 and up. You can fixer-uppers for
somewhat less but beware that you could get something that is fried. The
seller " robotworkshop " on Ebay sells lots of parts and is an honest guy
and very helpful ( not a paid advertisement ). Over time you can get enough
parts to build your own and save $$$$$. I have three HERO Jrs and two HERO1s
that were brought to life this way. It is much more rewarding to spend time
tinkering so you can finally declare " It's ALIVE " .......
Best regards, Steven

heathkit).
The original asking price from 1979 - 1982 was about $1,500.00
I think $150.00 would be a fair trade. What do you think?
I think you're rather optimisitic.
