Healthkit Oscilloscopes
Nothing beats the satisfaction of building something yourself.1 Heathkit oscilloscopes introduced oscilloscopes the public in the form of an electronic kit in 1947.1 Electronic hobbyists snapped up these kits, which provided a cheaper alternative to the factory assembled oscilloscopes of the time.1
Overall the quality and technical aspect of Heathkit oscilloscopes was comparable to the better factory made versions.1 Heathkit oscilloscopes were easy enough to assemble that the do it yourselfer didn't have to be an expert in electronics to assemble one.1 The Heath company announced that it was eliminating the production of its kits in 1992 resulting in Heathkit oscilloscopes eventually turning into a collector's item. |
