Subject: Re: H89 assembled or never assembled?
Frankly I'll give the guy $800 for the unit just for the fun of building a Heathkit.
However the big gotcha is "is everything there"? The H89 comes un-assembled in
two boxes, one for the CRT and one for everything else.
Another problem is partially assembled heathkits. A lot of times the builder was in over
his head and just quit, often with parts missing. You see heathkits like this all the
time on eBay.

Hey Joe,
Generally speaking, any kits (Heath or otherwise) that are still NIB /
unassembled, tend to attract a certain type of collector.
If the kit is genuinely complete and in the original package, it
should be worth a fair bit more than a well-built and functioning
unit. Or that's what I've seen..
Actual figures can vary, considerably - but I think those are
reasonable guidelines.

Hey,
A friend of mine has had an unassembled Heathkit H89 in original
packaging.
He wants to know if it is worth any more or less
because it was
never assembled. If anyone could help, we'd appreciate it!
Thanks
Joe.
