I was looking at the Heath Listserver messages and
here is the URL of a
disassembled Heathkit "kit" selling on Ebay. Current price (someone has too
much money on their hands) is $103.50. The URL is:

The next thing will most likely be similar computer "kits". There was a
discussion on the Heath listserver about this unit and Chuck Pension spoke
about this type of activity being another cottage industry. Anyone
interested in a disassembled Heathkit H-89, or H-11, or ... :).
I thought you had to be smoking crack or something, Marvin; nobody
would actuall *do* something like this...but I just looked at the
auction. It's true.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Why do we have to stop at things that were originally kits? I can
see it now: "DEC PDP-11/34a KIT! L@@K! RARE!!"
Better start buying stock in ChemWik!
