I think that there is actually one on ebay right now listed for parts, I
know I see them often on Ebay, I wish I hadn't sold mine back in 97'

The prices I have seen on ebay are too high for my budget.

Yeah, I hear ya on that.... I've been bidding on a bunch of Corvus
equipment lately and keep getting outbid as I'm just not going to pay
the outrageous ebay prices above what I think is fair for the
equipment. Quite frankly I was rather surprised at home many people
bid on Corvus stuff, I honestly thought Al Kossow and I were about the
only people on the face of the earth who even knew what the stuff was! ;-)

If you are into robots, not just the Hero, someone in California
bought out all the RB5X stock from the original company in Denver and
will be selling kits next year. He's made a mention on the rb5x Yahoo
Group of a target price of $1,400 including charger and speech board.
Tying back to earlier list discussions, this is the robot with the
INS8073 "TinyBASIC" chip - easy to program form either a serial
terminal or PeeCee w/terminal emulator.
Assembled rb5x robots tend to go for around $2K on eBay from what I've
seen, for comparison.

Well, keep in mind that there are still many collectors out there that we
haven't "reached" yet, and there are also people who will bid ridiculous
amounts on anything just because it looks cool.
But I see what you mean. I did a search on concluded auctions and some
guy is buying up stuff at stupid prices. Item #5242546074 is a relatively
common hard drive interface for the Apple ][. He paid $77. I should go
dig out the 3-4 I have in my Apple ][ junkbox.

I was curious enough to see what else this person has bought:
in just ONE week!
- an Apple coffee mug for $67
- a Lisa mouse prototype for $400
- an Apple III+ NIB for $790
- a NEXT daydream system for $399
and the piece de resistance
- a blank Apple keyboard for GBP200 (about USD360)
Plus 11 other items to come to a total of $2,745 (USD)
Now indeed is the time to put up anything a bit unusual. I bet the seller of
that unprinted keyboard is pleased!

Does anyone on the list have some spare Hero-Jr
parts?

Right now I need the back cover panel, a set of the pins that hold the
covers, a remote, copy of a manual, and cartridges.

I can get you a rear cover. By " pins " are you refering to the tapered /
threaded ones that push through the grommets on the panels ? No help on the
remote. The manuals are available from multiple sources on the net. Heathkit
still sells manuals for non-Hero products. I have some duplicate cartridges,
do you know which ones you need ( i.e. BASIC, Games, HPL ? ) ?

My recommendation would be to first contact Robert at:
rdoerr at bizserve.com
He has the largest collection ( I know about ) of Hero Jr. parts, panels ,
manuals, cartridges, ROMs, etc. It would save you $$$$ in shipping to have
it all shipped at once. If this doesn't work out, contact me back and I'll
get you the panel and mounting studs you need. We can do this offline so we
don't bore these good folks here ...
Best regards, Steven C. ( adopted parent of many orphaned Hero robots... )
