My dad worked at a heathkit dealer in Houston back in the 70s. Growing up he assembled both of our tvs, complete with a high frequency remote control that worked somewhere between 14 and 20khz that I could hear when I put up to my ear. We had a heathkit receiver that had an astounding 70watts per channel back in the late 70s/early 80s. I remember being able to look at the thin elastic cords that would allow you to tune into your station. Turn it fast and it had that rubber band effect like the iOS browser. I remember thinking there is nothing my dad can't make or fix back then. I hope the kits come back and are as comprehensive and cost effective as previous times.
