Well, we all had a chance to buy the rights... on eBay! - last fall Heath Co. put up for auction 40 filing cabinets of old manuals and the legal rights to make and sell copies. IIRC no one met the minimum bid they had set, but evidently they later struck a deal with a former Heath employee, Don Peterson. See http://www.d8apro.com/
You know how to make a small fortune in the vintage manual business?? start with a large one. cheers, Nick KD4CPL p.s. I have no connection with any of this, but have bought some Heath parts from Don in the past and he was very helpful. Oh yeah, I also bought some gear from Heath Co. when they were e-baying their collection of old gear and lab equipment. It was cool to get a 1963 unbuilt Heathkit direct from Benton Harbor in 2007. p.p.s. AMRadio connection - I sometimes run my Heathkit Apache on AM :-) -----Original Message----- From: amradio-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:amradio-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of charles L.
