Heathkit was my intro to electronics in the 1960s and early 70s. My father gave me a Heathkit electronics lab that consisted of a board with a bunch of components, spring connectors, various lengths of pre-stripped and tinned wires, and a project book full of fascinating experiments that I did over and over. He also built our family color television and stereo receiver from Heathkit projects. I remember watching him work on them in his shop after dinner, soldering components into place for hours. Both of those units lasted a good long time, too.
