First, let me start off, saying today's post has nothing to do with my Commodore obsession. I do believe someone is trying to tell me something. Over the weekend I was given a Complete Heathkit Electronics course. Not only did I get the 2 Electronics Trainers, but about 6 Correspondence courses in electronics to go with them. The courses are: AC Electronics, DC Electronics, Digital Techniques, Electronic Circuits, Semiconductor Devices, and Advance Mathematics for Science and Technology. These courses are about 90-99 % intact, along with all the parts, and exams that go with them. The biggest problem getting these things, is usually none of the parts come with it, as they seemed to get lost over time. Not with this kit! Even the parts bins are labelled to which course they belong to. Now, I know you are saying "What? These course are at least 30 years old!" That is true, the courses were bought in 1981, and the copyright date is 1975, but the basics and knowledge hasn't changed. In fact, a "NEW' Heathkit company had popped up and is still selling these kits. the trainers look identical, other than the case (photo Below). I did e-mail Heathkit and inquire about how the courses have changed etc, but so far they have not got back to me. I grew up with Heath kits in my house. My Dad, built in 1970, a 26 inch TV and Stereo system very similar to the pictures below.
Although, these photos are not exact, they are the closest I could find to what I remember. In about 1984, I blew up the Stereo, hooking up 8 speakers incorrectly- hey, I learned a big lesson in "series and parallel" back then. In fact, I still have the speakers sitting right next to me today. The speakers were works of art, and I could never bring myself to throw them away, they still work perfectly and the wood box is nice. Now, all I need is an Oscilloscope. Anyway, these will be done after my NCS 2065T project, which I am working on today. It looks more and more that I was destined to get into hardware.
