Subject: Heathkit parts:
It took me several phone calls and transfers to get a direct phone number
for Heathkit parts. Let me share this with you all.
Heath Order Desk
455 Riverview Dr
Benton Harbor MI 49022
616-925-5899
info de KA1CV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Asked recently if Heath was still providing 10-meter-modification
information for the SB-1000 linear amplifier, I did some research
via telephone and learned that technical consultation on Heath
products over 1 year old--that is, out of warranty--will cost you
$5 for the first 5 minutes and 75 cents per each additional
minute. "Have your VISA or MasterCard ready."
I got this by stepping through the telephone tree accessible
through Heath's "Technical Consultants" number (616-925-4914,
Mon-Fri 8A-4:30P ET). I got this number from the recent Heath
catalog with a cover sheet headlined "Heath Alive and Well--Shifts
Business Focus from Kits to Education." Other phone numbers and
info of possible use in that catalog include
"order by phone 24 hours a day" 1-800-253-0570 (Mon-Fri 8A-5P ET
to check on an order already placed)
"...by fax...." 1-616-925-4876
"...by mail" PO Box 8589, Benton Harbor MI 49023
"...through CompuServe..." "FREE CONNECT TIME for Heath shoppers.
Place your order right from your computer. Type GO HTH at any ! or
OK prompt for instant viewing of the Heath online catalog."
Customer service, Mon-Fri, 8A-5P ET 1-800-253-5700 "to check on an
order already placed or for answers to questions about returns and
exchanges"
Parts Replacement and Service Mon-Fri 8A-5P ET 1-800-253-0570
("please have the part number ready when you call. To inquire
about product service,, call 1-616-925-3273, Mon-Fri 8A-4:30P ET")
Catalog subscription: "To order a FREE Heath Catalog, 1-800-44-
HEATH 24 hours day 7 days a week."

Bill Johnson, president of Heath Company, elsewhere on that cover
sheet: "I think our kits are going to be missed out there and I
know we're going to miss making and selling them. But there's a
time for all things in this world, and the time for electronics
kits is over--at least for now. But who knows? Maybe they'll come
back--like rock 'n' roll or skinny ties."
