Zenith bought Heath and Heathkit several years ago. (The stores were a seperate corporation from the mail order, that's why you didn't have to pay sales tax on the mail order kits). Bull recently bought some or all (not clear) of the operation. Apparently as a result of this, the connection between the computer stores and the kits has been severed. As of the catalog last fall, the only place to get a Heathkit is mail order. Heath Company Benton Harbor, MI 49022 (800) 253-0570 markz@ssc.uucp
