Hell, that’s how I kept a 20 year old RCA cabinet TV working for another 10 years, through 2 lightning strikes. Personally, I find it more a shame that people are so willing to pitch out whole boards rather than troubleshoot an issue down to the specific part. To say that they have no other value, however, is a shame, since they are still a basis for today’s technology.

The parts could come right off the shelves at Radio Shack a lot cheaper than the kits cost, but if you didn’t know how to build the thing, then what was the point? These manuals are good for more than archival references, especially to people who still like to build things as a hobby.

It was understood that when you bought a kit, you were buying the manual and pretty much getting parts with it. I loved building Heathkit projects when I was in high school. Collapse replies (1) Reply View in chronology However, they’ve decided just the try and profit from the old products and try to sue anyone who gets in their way, however counter-productive that might be. It’s the same old story we see from the RIAA/MPAA/whoever – these copyrights could have been used to create new products or generate new interest in legacy kit. While it’s true that the prices are relatively reasonable, the copyrights for HeathKit manuals are meant to allow the creation of new product, not to make a random 3rd party some extra cash. While doing this, they actually make existing HeathKits less valuable (a manual-less HeathKit is now less valuable when sold on because someone needs to buy a manual before or after purchase). The new copyright owners seem unlikely to be creating anything new with the proceeds of this copyright, it’s just for personal profit.
That is, these actions completely violate the original purpose of copyright and patents – a limited monopoly to allow and influence the creation of further work. The issue here is something quite simple: copyright is being enforced in order to make someone cash on a product that was previously available for free, and which the current owner had nothing to do with creating. So, now, anyone still playing around with decades old Heathkit products can’t look online for some information from a missing manual, but instead is expected to pay up for a reprint.įiled Under: copyright, electronics kits, manuals All free manuals have been removed from this site in compliance with copyright laws.
This rights to these legacy products also includes the copyright. On October 30, 2008, Data Professionals of Pleasanton, CA purchased the Intellectual property of the Heathkit legacy products from Heathkit in Benton Harbor, Michigan.

Even though the company stopped making and selling kits back in 1992, it apparently just sold the copyrights on its old manuals to another company, which is going around forcing any old manuals offline and demanding people buy them instead: However, one of our readers, Joseph Durnal, just discovered something rather disturbing.
The company and its products were an important part of the post-WWII “tinkerers” era. If you’re unfamiliar with the important history of Heathkit and its popular electronics and computer “kits,” it’s worth reading the Wikipedia entry on Heathkit to get some background.
