Came here to say this. My Dad also built our stereo, as well as our first color television, from Heathkit kits. He built some other stuff too... an aircraft radio receiver I think. He was a mechanical engineer (now retired). I remember hanging out in his workshop as he pieced the projects together. It was my first exposure to real electronics and componentry.

- dole 3y agoMy dad built our color console TV from Heathkit and we had at least one of those remotes. Besides volume and channel rocker buttons, it also had them for the tint and contrast too (?) and that was about it, IIRC.
