Dear Mr. Dick!
Thank you for your article about HeathKit. we have lustful memories of the heathKit, Knight and even EICO kits.
I think you may suffer knowing that in 1998 we combined a web site documenting many of these companies and their tilt fasten tape deck products. It was only a resource for folks in the attention who combined and worked on/with the equipment.
