We need to keep in mind that there really isn't much, if anything, left of Heathkit. <br /><br />What are the tangible and intangible assets? The name means something to people over, what, 50 years old? There's probably the intellectual property rights to the old schematics and manuals (which have already been broadly shared across the internetz.) But no one is going to bring the original HW-101 or HW-8 back to life...at least not without a major redesign. There is the basic idea of providing quality kits to the ham radio market (but that's not knew either).<br /><br />So my guess is that someone out there wants to build kits and has acquired the IP rights to Heathkit to help launch the project.<br /><br />73, Bob K0NRBob K0NRhttp://www.k0nr.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
