## Description

Heathkit Test Equipment Products, By Chuck Penson, WA7ZZE. This is your definitive guide to every kit-form test equipment product the Heath Company ever produced. 200 pages, more than 300 products and 375 super-sharp black and white photos taken by the author from the collections of several major Heathkit collectors. Every product includes a photo, a brief description and specifications, with references to the products the preceded and followed. Also included are three indexes. One index for model numbers, one organized by product type, and one in chronological order. The book is organized by product type into 22 chapters. It includes all kit-form test equipment products: audio and RF generators, scopes, VTVMs, DMMs, VOMs, frequency counters, power supplies, substitution boxes, tube testers, TV and FM test equipment and more. Everything from 1947 to 1991. Also includes a chapter for the fully assembled products from the Malmsted-Enke EUW series. There is even a special chapter on Heath’s ES-series (H-1) and EC-1 analog computers, including detailed specifications and schematics. Written by Heath historian and industrial archeologist Chuck Penson, WA7ZZE, author of “Heathkit: A Guide to the Amateur Radio Products,” and “The Titan II Handbook.” Printed in the USA using gorgeous traditional offset lithography to ensure sharp, clear images. If you buy, sell, use or collect Heathkit products, or if you would just like to reminisce, this book is a must have.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have enjoyed this much as much as Mr
*by G***T on August 9, 2014*

I have enjoyed this much as much as Mr. Penson's Heathkit radio book from 2003. Though, the reviews of various equipment is not in depth, it is however cataloged. There were pieces that I didn't even know about. The pics were very good and descriptions very adequate for general use. My one complaint is on my copy the pages did not bind well to the outer binder in places and it probably wont take much to have some pages pull loose later. I may try to squeeze a little Elmers glue between the outer cover and back side of the pages. I'll just be careful with copy and it should be fine for some time.I understand the earlier Heathkit Radio manual that Mr Penson wrote in 2003 is selling for over $500 on epay and Amazon. WOW!I'll keep mine and let my family sell it some day and buy a car with the proceeds. LOL. ,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Heathkit test equipment remembered
*by E***N on August 23, 2017*

This is a very good overview of the Heathkit test gear by the same author of the Heathkit ham gear book. In fact, when I ordered the book, it shipped from Chuck WA7ZZE himself! I think he now prints them on demand.The book is organized into categories of test equipment like VTVMs, TV equipment, RF generators, etc. This makes it easy to find what you're looking for. You can also simply read the book front to back and enjoy reliving the days when you could build quality test equipment from kits. I think anyone into vintage audio of radio gear will enjoy this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great resource!
*by T***N on January 7, 2015*

Great book. It was a gift for my father who built and worked with much of the equipment in the book in his early days as an electronics instructor in Minneapolis in the '60d. I am waiting for the revision of the Heathkit radio line book. Both are must haves for those who lived through the days of the green equipment lineups!
