$5000 for the entire Heathkit back-catalogue seems
like
a pretty sweet deal...
Yes, it is. Buying originals of all the Heathkit manuals would cost
you that much.
I suppose the ultimate solution to this would be a
pre-emptive strike of
sorts. Find out who owns the copyright to at least some of these manuals,
then ask for permission to distribute them as long as no charge is made for
doing so.
And what would the copyright holder get in return?
