Heath ... and ... Allied and Lafayette ... and I’m probably missing another. Were fine places back in the days, early days of Ampex machines, not long after came the early Hi-Fi years. Rek-O-Kut turntables anyone? Soon it was Stereo and some other Boston (MIT?) folks had AR going and ... but then along came Computers .. uh oh

But what we need now is ... how about some app that plays 45’s on a 16” Rek-O-Kut .. !

Heathkit used to be in Benton Harbor, Michigan . Then, they were purchased by Zenith. Then, later when you could buy a fully assembled color TV for less than a kit it took 3 weeks (at least)to build, Heathkit almost went away.
